www.ActivityVillage.co.uk - Keeping Kids Busy Origami Fan Here is a cute little origami fan to fold for dolls, teddy bears, or just for decoration. And of course you can make it with a bigger piece of paper so that you can use it yourself. Use patterned paper or ask the children to decorate a plain piece before they fold it. You will need scissors and a short length of wool (yarn), cotton or cord. With your pattern side up, fold the top edge of the square down, as shown, and crease. Unfold, and cut carefully along the crease line. Fold in half vertically. Fold the top edge down again, by about a third. Fold the two edges into the centre. Unfold. Turn over. Unfold. Fold the two edges into the centre again.... ...and again.
