Activity: Paper Crane Origami

Thanks to Origami Fun I learned how to fold a paper crane. Cranes represent peace in many other cultures. Go to http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-crane.html, and it gives a video and printable instructions to make a paper crane. Next week I'll tell you the story of 1000 Paper Cranes. And just for fun, I named all of my cranes in a different language.

Here are my 5 cranes.

This is "Pace"

Meet "Rojo"

And this is "Gelb"

And "Cerule"

Last but not least, "Blanche"
