You start by folding the origami paper (you can totally use regular brown paper for this project too) diagonally both ways.
Fold into triangle (coloured side on the outside). Crease well.
Now fold the tip of the triangle to the bottom (one sheet only). You’ll see a white square within the triangle now.
Now fold the right corner of the triangle towards the middle. Do the same with the left one. Crease well and unfold.
Now fold the right corner towards the top and do the same with the left one. Crease well.
Tuck both “flaps” in the pocket. This reindeer corner bookmark is now ready to be decorated.
Cut two antlers from the dark paper, a red nose (or brown one if you’re going with the regular reindeer) and two white circles for the eyes. Draw two black spots in the eyes and glue all things to their places.

We have found one another fun craft for you to make at home during the school closure we represent to you the DIY PAPER PLATE FAN by Playful Parent. Let’s get started shall we?
Paper Plate Fans are a breeze to make and a awesome summer craft.
1. Cut the paper plate in half. 2. Decorate the half plate. You can just use markers to draw, or you can paint first, like we did. If painting both sides let dry a few minutes before flipping over to paint the other side.
3. Once fully dry, color with markers. 4. Glue craft sticks together at one end at about a 90 degree angle, then attach to the back of the plate. (We used hot glue so we didn’t have to wait long to use.) 5. Let glue dry and then enjoy a cool breeze from your fan.
Thank you The Playful Parent for the idea of this fun craft, and we hope you will enjoy it!

We love doing simple origami and this time we’re going to learn how to make a paper boat – a summer favorite! Thank you Andreja Vucajnk from Easy Peasy and Fun again for your endless amazing craft ideas.
How to Make a Paper Boat
All you need is a sheet of paper letter sized or A4. Regular print paper is perfect for this project. Use as many colors as possible.
Start off with a sheet of paper and fold it in half downwards.
Fold in half again as shown on the second image (you don’t need to make the crease from top to bottom – you just need to mark the center).
Bring corners to the center so that you get a triangle shape with a rectangle under it.
Fold the rectangle part under the triangle upwards (as shown with the purple spots) – flip your origami and do the same on the other side.
Grab the center of the triangle shape as indicated on the first image above with the red spot and pull both sides (holding the red spot) out. Flatten.
You’ll get the shape as shown on the second image above (ignore that red spot in the left bottom corner – I have no idea how that one came there haha).
Fold the front layer up (as shown with the green spot) flip the origami boat to be and do the same with the back layer. You’ll get a triangle shape.
Pull the sides outwards and you’ll again get the square shape as shown on the first image bellow.
Slowly pull the top parts outwards and you have your paper boat!

Everyone needs a little bit of magic in their life and what better way to bring it in, than with glitter and unicorns.
Naturally this one can also be used to make a horse craft, just loose the horn and you have a fun looking stallion.
Ready to make magic happen? Let’s start crafting.
How to Make a 3D Construction Paper Unicorn
What you need
our printable 3D Construction Paper Unicorn craft template (you can grab it at the very end of this tutorial)
construction paper (letter or a4 size) or heavier print paper. Regular print paper will work too
coloring supplies
scissors
glue
glitter glue for some magic
Watch the Video Tutorial
Follow the Step by Step Tutorial
Print out our template (located at the end of the tutorial). You can print it on regular paper but it’s best if printed on construction or heavier print paper.
Color in the template (skip the hooves).
Use all your favorite colors (this one is a rainbow unicorn).
Add glittery accents with glitter glue if you wish your unicorn to look fancier, but you will have to wait for the glitter glue to dry before moving forward. Glitter sure does add magic to this fairy tale creature.
Cut out all the unicorn parts.
Take the body part and fold the hooves.
Apply glue on the bottom of the hooves…
And stick the unicorn body on the cloud base.
Color in the hooves (hint, hint pink).
Take the paper strip with the unicorn head and apply glue on the area marked with the word glue.
Glue together in a roll.
Apply glue at the bottom of the head, or on the body of the unicorn…
…and stick the head on the body.
Take the colourful mane and glue it on the head.
Next comes the horn. Fold bottom part (along the line) on both horns. Glue the two horns (top parts) together, so it’s colored on both sides.
Apply glue on the bottom part and stick it on the unicorn head.
Fold the ears and stick them on the head
Fold the tale (along the line), apply glue on the back of the tail and glue two tail halves together.
Stick the tail on the body of the unicorn.
You just made some magic! Your 3D Construction Paper Unicorn is all done and waiting for it’s colorful friends to join him or her.
