An illustrated tutorial on how to make origami flowers and carnations. Folding a simple little flower actually has a lot of meaning!
Many parents are asked by teachers to teach their children homework, but they cannot think of a way for their children to learn it quickly. In fact, education lies not only with teachers, but as parents, they are also the first mentors of their children’s life. Not only should children learn to do things by themselves, but we should also let them understand that what we do is actually meaningful and not just for the sake of completing homework. Regarding education, I feel the same way, so I thought of teaching children to do both hands-on work and homework. A craft that can use your brain is Origami. Today I will share with you a simple origami carnation.
