origami

In his after-school origami class today, C made a spaceship out of a sheet of light blue paper. He made a smaller thing out of shiny dark blue paper that fits inside, and so when he flies it, the two pieces separate before fluttering to the floor. "It breaks apart just like the real space shuttle," he explains. I'm pretty sure he's referring to rocket boosters, not the Challenger or Columbia disasters.

We've been doing our own origami projects at home. We can really spread out as there is still no furniture in our living room to get in our way.
