Gift Cranes

The kids have been crafting. I taught them some basic origami and there has been a flurry of crane making going on around here. (I think I can now make a crane in my sleep!) These colorful little cranes made great gifts for their friends. It was such a simple thing, but very pretty. I found them especially lovely when they were all piled together in the box.
They got to hand them out today. And my son, the charmer, made the day of one little girl in his class. She has the biggest crush on him. I got to see her face light up when he gave them out. Having him hand her a personally folded crane may have made her year. He was very proud of his handy work and very excited about handing them out. Both kids were. It's a wonderful thing to give gifts.
