Origami wreaths ...

I've also been getting festive in fashioning these beautiful wreaths with the Year 4s and 5s at my daughters' school.

I really enjoyed the process of talking about the art and maths of origami and of course, the relevant fold and then constructing the wreaths with the children using beautiful up-cycled matte magazine papers.

The children found the activity captivating and meditative.  

I then glued the wreaths and tied rustic garden twine around them so the children could take them home to hang or give as a gift to someone special. 

The completed year 4 and 5 wreaths ... ready for distributing!
