Welcome to Magic Marker Monday! If you haven’t heard about Magic Marker Monday yet, click here and then hurry right back…

I was looking for something to keep little fingers busy the other day and decided to pull out the packs of origami paper I had found earlier this year at the dollar store.
Then we did an internet search for “origami internet tutorial” for whatever animal popped into our heads. Pretty soon we had a whole zoo! My seven-year-old daughter’s favorite was this pink kitty that we found instructions for at About.com.
Have your kids had any crafty fun this week?

Looks like fun. We’ll be doing lots of Origami with MFW’s ECC next school year!
I have a lot of origami paper and a book of patterns, too. May try this later in the summer. Love the pink kitty.
