If you have been looking at those "foldology" #origami puzzles and thinking "are those fun? should I get those?"

YES.

These are amazing. I got them for Christmas and I'm doing one per day and can't stand waiting to do the next one. I want to blow through the whole pack right now.

I thought that doing the puzzles might help me to better articulate how origami works with my students. It probably won't. It's the kind of puzzle where you can't explain how you solved it.

But they are fun.

Our ritual for the 24th is to watch movies and make #origami decorations.

Je suis conquis par cette jolie fée de Dave Brill qui ornera fièrement un sapin (si elle est d'acord) !

En voilà une bonne idée, ces petites étiquettes cadeau de Grace Matthews, pour écrire un mot ou se souvenir de quel cadeau va à qui !

C'est le pompon ! 😆
Alliance amusante entre un modèle traditionnel (le casque de samouraï) et le thème de Noël, par Katsuta Kyohei. Le pliage est tellement naturel qu'on dirait que le casque n'attendait que cela ! Le carré de départ est diminué de deux bandes dans l'intersection desquelles est fait le pompon. Ensuite, il ne reste plus qu'à plier le casque avec le carré qui reste. C'est malin !

Simple et jolie boîte carrée de Robin Glynn (inventée indépendamment par Tomoko Fuse), en très peu de plis, et aux proportions élégantes.
