Origami Love Hearts

Origami for Young Children
I found this origami love heart at Christmas. I had been looking for some easy decorations to make , this one was easy and looked great when finished .We used scraps of paper, card ,wrapping paper and glitter and by Christmas eve my doors were covered in hearts. I have put photos of how to make it on my Children's origami page, but to be honest it could be made by primary or nursery children it is that easy.

Switch the Light Off

 
Same Old Problem
New Solution
 
 
 
I know it should be easy ,it takes less than a second ,but why do all kids find it so hard!!! Its just a light switch.
My two have been driving me nuts with this, so I have now got them to make signs.This is Mays one ,James has his on bright Red card in the hope it catches his eye. Both I stuck up beside the light switches in their rooms.
{ Fingers crossed this works or the kids are going to wonder why they have no light in their bedrooms}
