It’s been a terrible week of weather in Canterbury – we’re experiencing deep winter with lots of rain and cold. It’s also school holidays and one of my clients was telling me that she uses the winter school holidays for rest with the kids. They do outdoor activities but also lots of puzzles and crafts.

Fairly easy. But have a look at the more complicated origami designs all featuring dogs:

Greyhound origami by John Montroll
Papillon by Hideo Komatsu
The variety is endless!
Just don’t let these dogs go outside in the rain or snow….
