What do you need?

Today we fold the dragonfly, the bee and the ladybug. We choose beautiful colours, which are even more beautiful once the insects hang on the window. When the sun shines on the window, the colours become really brilliant. We enjoy the fwaldorf oldings every day!
Because we couldn't find black kite paper, we used tissue paper for the bees and ladybug, unfortunately it is not as pretty as the transparent kite paper. The little monsters also wanted a bee and a ladybug, so that's why ;))
