The Social Studies Project

2009-10-11T19:08:00.002-04:00

For social studies, Della had to create an island, landscape it with several topographical features and towns, and then create a flag and an index of coordinates for each of these. The project took two weeks and about $50-worth of supplies. She enlisted her mother's help in the painting and paying departments. Her father created the grid.

Bored? Well, not anymore! These are instructions on how to make two simple things out of origami: a hopping frog and a pond for it to jump into. Before you start, you will need to gather some supplies. You will need colored index cards, for your frog, and office paper, for your pond. I like to use blue or green for the pond, because a pond would be close to one of those colors. If you want to
