Origami

The weather is a downer for the kids. It’s a good thing there are no classes yet, or it would have been much worse for them.

Since kuya Gab and Julian couldn’t go out and play, we had to have some indoor activities. I recently bought a pack of Origami papers from Saizen Daiso store in Galleria. It was a good buy: 330 75mm x 75mm papers in assorted colors, for only Php85. (Disclosure: My sister-in-law is a brand manager for Saizen.)

I folded a few animals for them: the classic crane, a frog, a snake, a raven, and a manta ray. Kuya Gab researched the rest off the web. Google was his friend all the way.

There are notes in the photo page.

I’m also folding some modular Origami starting with simple polyhedrons, and later on (patience permits) Sonobe balls and Mio Tsugawa’s Arabesque.

(As an aside, I thought Wolfram Alpha would have some interesting results on [origami]. Sadly, I was disappointed.)
