If The Shoe Fits…

If The Shoe Fits…

I decided to do origami for my make, it’s a hobby of mine. My mom and I started making cranes when I was 10 years old. My make represents how princesses is fairytales are known for their outward appearance. In Cinderella she gets a makeover by her fairy godmother and the prince immediately notices her when she shows up to the ball and they immediately fall in love but then when midnight hits she’s back to being unnoticeable. Only a shoe was how he was able to tell that it was her. This is an example of how fairytales are usually unrealistic.

My mom works with kids and she loves teaching first graders how to do origami. It can be tricky because it requires precision and really good listening. If I had a classroom of older elementary aged kids I think origami would be a fun, creative way to teach a lesson.

  1. I think this is such an awesome and creative make! The dress and the shoes look amazing. It is a really nice activity for all children to do. It would really bring out their creative side. In a classroom you can even do an origami for every story you read. I hope you get to use it in your future classroom (:
