Turtle origami

I have decided to make turtle origami today with W to give him some practice of his fine motor skills. We also did little weeding in our lawn in the morning. Another great practice for those pincher skills. In the beginning, W was pulling the weed with all his fingers. But toward the end, he was getting better and using his pincher more. Anyway, I digress. Let's see some origami fun. You can find the tutorial here.

Lots of folding and pressing






Here is his decorated turtle. He was done after making two.
While J worked on her own and figured out the direction on her own

Here are her turtles. She also had some practice turtles when she was trying to figure out the direction. So this is good task for different levels of children. You can decide how much support to give to each child.
