We have been trying easy origami projects with my daughter. You might have seen our origami cats we posted recently and the origami bunny we made for Easter.

When we saw these adorable origami bookmarks in Easy Paper Projects Book, we couldn't resist trying them. This is a new book written by one of my favourite crafters Maggy Woodley. She is the creator of the very popular craft site Red Ted Art. I'm so excited to receive her fabulous book and to tell you about it.

Easy Origami Cat

Kids love animals and also animal crafts. My daughter is always ready to make her favorite animals.

We are introducing Origami to our daughter. Her grandmom is helping her make her favorite origami animals using this fun paper folding technique.

Sometime back we made this cute Origami Bunny and here is another easy origami for kids - Origami Cat Craft.

Mother's Day Cootie Catcher

Raise your hand if you have made a cootie catcher when you were a kid. Well, I have! 🙋. They go by multiple names like a paper fortune teller or chatterbox and a couple more.

If you don't know, a cootie catcher is a form of origami paper folding game. Parts of the cootie catcher are labelled with colors or numbers for players to choose from and the inside has a message or action item for the players. Based on the number or color the player chooses, the cootie catcher needs to be adjusted.

If you're looking for a fun preschool activity for mother's day, this cootie catcher is just a perfect mothers day ideas for kids.

What I love about this activity is that kids can spell each word out loud as they open and close the cootie catch. so LOVE would mean open and close 4 times. Also, older kids can spell the color out too.

There are some really sweet activities that kids can do for their mothers as they play the game.

Isn't it a wonderful way to wish Happy Mother's Day?
