The other day I got origami book out and started working on an envelope. It was not hard, I did it easy. Second, was airplane and Brandon wanted to join me in making it but he got very frustrated that he could not use square paper (instructions called for rectangle) and when he did find it, there was none with nothing written on it. I used the one I had with something on one side and nothing on another. It did not matter to me. It did to him. He got very frustrated to the point of going upstairs to come down. Later he came down and helped me build the plane.
Third project was a tulip. It was HARD. There was one step that we just could not do the way it was shown on the picture (where you blow in it and it expands), it just did not do for us. He got frustrated that it was not like it was in the book. I repeated to him that I did not care. What mattered to me that we spent time working on something together and especially it was our first time doing it. I am trying to stress this out for him vs. what the project looked like. Here is a picture of three. Tulip does not look very pretty but who cares? it was not the point :)
