I'm going to show you how to make Origami Hearts. I felt today's craft was fitting as Valentines Day is only a week away. You can use this Origami Heart for Valentines Day decorations, gift for someone special or perhaps use these Origami Hearts as the Valentines Day card itself. The only material you need for this craft is Origami paper.... that's it. So, grab some paper and let's get started.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/02/how-to-make-origami-hearts/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/02/how-to-make-a-paper-jumping-frog/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/02/how-to-make-a-paper-jumping-frog/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:00:32 +0000 Laura http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=5245 I have a super duper fun craft for you today.

So, grab a green piece of paper (or whatever color paper you would like) and let's get this fun craft started.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/02/how-to-make-a-paper-jumping-frog/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/01/how-to-make-an-origami-dove/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/01/how-to-make-an-origami-dove/#comments Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:00:57 +0000 Laura http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=11360 Today I'm going to show you how to make an Origami Dove. I thought since today is Martin Luther King Day that today would be a perfect time to make a dove craft. After all a Dove represents Peace and Tranquility and bottom line..... isn't that what Martin Luther King wanted for everybody? Martin Luther King was a great man and today it is all about remembering how wonderful he was and what he represented..... equality for all. So, gather up the materials needed and let's get started.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2012/01/how-to-make-an-origami-dove/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/12/how-to-make-an-origami-santa-claus/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/12/how-to-make-an-origami-santa-claus/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:37:57 +0000 Shana http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=9874 I have another Origami craft for you today.
