Activity 3

Origami is a fun craft where you fold paper to make different shapes. You use a piece of paper and fold it carefully without cutting or gluing it to make cool new things. The word "origami" comes from Japan, and it means "folding paper".   Make an origami duck.  You will need a piece of paper that is square.

Activity 4

I can engineer a duckling in disguise.

The swan has found out that he is not an ugly duckling. While this is a happy revelation, he realizes he needs to be with his swan family. The ducklings can help, but he has to travel through a forest and to the next lake to get to his swan family.  He has to disguise himself to get there.

After brainstorming ideas,  choose a disguise to create. Will the duckling be camouflaged as another animal or blend into its surroundings?
