An Origami Story by My Daughter

Posted in Recipes and Crafts

 

 

The picture is not clear, but here is my daughter with her origami animals resting on a black felt board: a mother swan with her nest of eggs, three cygnets, another two swans, a lotus by a lily-pad and a jumping frog. She is holding up the story she wrote about her sweet animals. Alas, her little brother has squashed most of the paper-swans so I'm glad I took a picture of them!

 

I think I'll include the story (unedited) she wrote here.

 

One night, a swan laid 3 eggs. Her 2 children wondered what she was doing. Another baby swan came up. She wanted the other baby swans to play with her. Her name was Slida. Slida got the Baby Swan who was blue (Glida) and the green one (Blyda) to come. They met the Golden Swan and the Night Swan who was awake only at night. Then they played with a lily-pad & frog. Then they went to bed. It had been a wonderful night. But now they were tired. Blyda yawned. Glida hicupped. Slida burped. Then they fell asleep.  -based on origami
