Fold a classic origami fortune teller and fill it with grade-appropriate kindness prompts — appreciation, active listening, cooperation, and inclusive behavior. Interactive instructional videos by artist Nikita Tse walk students through every fold and decoration step. Age-differentiated skill sets for K–1, 2nd–3rd, and 4th–5th, plus a downloadable teacher resource PDF.

Using simple, everyday materials, students create a colorful windsock inspired by elements of the natural world. Once decorated, it goes outside to sway in the breeze — a satisfying, low-prep craft that works beautifully as a classroom or camp activity. Includes a video tutorial and downloadable step-by-step instructions.

Pull-tab and rotating wheel mechanisms turn a flat piece of paper into something that moves, reveals, and surprises. Students apply precision engineering skills — from exact hole placement to smooth mechanical operation — while exploring cause-and-effect relationships. Includes downloadable PDF instructions for both a Pull-Tab Card and a Rotating Mechanism Card.

After observing, sketching, and learning why scientists insist on “sea jellies” (spoiler: they are absolutely not fish!), students design and build their own wiggly sea creature using everyday materials. The craft connects science content — shape, motion, texture — directly to the making process. Includes a video demonstration and printable instructions by resident artist Nikita Lai Jing Tse.

Origami meets earth science in this diorama of Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano on the planet. Students learn about the four main types of volcanoes and then build a three-dimensional model using a printable template — designed by resident artist Nikita Lai Jing Tse. Includes an assembly video, downloadable instructions, and a diorama template.
