Students who want to make an origami dog must bring a square sheet of paper to class as well as crayons, colored pencils, or a marker. Origami paper is 6" x 6" (or 15.2 cm x 15.2 cm).
If your child does not have a square sheet of paper, learners can bring a standard 8 1/2" x 11" (22 cm x 28 cm) sheet of paper and a pair of blunt-tip scissors for children to class. I can guide children through the square-cutting process.
