The rectangular box, the business card frog, hop frog into box, the basket

Dear Dawn,

Re  suggestions for two action models

Here is one suggestion.

Kids and I like the 'kissing lips' action model, although for that age I
would suggest calling it 'talking mouth' to avoid the yuk response.

It's all right isosceles triangles (*not* diaper fold), with one scalene
triangle (this sentence is for you, Mark Kennedy).

I have folded it with classes of gr. 4 and gr. 8 students (in under 30',
with kids helping each other) and both levels liked it.

Will send you photos.

Hope you're well.

Patsy

I've been asked to teach origami action models to a class of 20 kids, from 
2nd to 5th, for the space of one hour. I will try to bring along a helper 
if I can. May I have some suggestions for TWO models that many kids of that 
age range could likely fold in the space of an hour? Thanks in advance!

I get a great response from the hopping frog made of green 3x5 cards.
It's not an action model, but pipe-cleaner flowers are easy and a great crowd 
pleaser.
Yami's spinner is a good choice, also.
