Paper Crafts for Children

Another of the paper crafts for children that has a very short materials list. All you need for this one is a piece of square paper! Once you have finished it you will also need an origami flower. Here is a handy Origami Tulip Tutorial.

		Fold the paper to make a triangle, crease and unfold.
		Fold the sides in to line up with the center crease to make a kite shape. Fold the sides in again to line up with the center crease.
		Fold the small edge sides in to line up with the center crease as well.
		Fold the wide end over so that the point is part way along the center crease. Fold in half along the center crease.
		Pull the shorter piece out to form the leaf. Crease the bottom firmly.
		Glue the stalk onto an origami flower.
