foldworks<p>I’ve uploaded an old booklet I bought it in the 1980s for 25 pence, ‘Paper-Folding for Schools’, published By Charles And Son Ltd, at <a href="https://archive.org/details/paper-folding-for-schools-published-by-charles-and-son-ltd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/paper-fold</span><span class="invisible">ing-for-schools-published-by-charles-and-son-ltd</span></a>.</p><p>Without mentioning it, the contents draw on the Froebel kindergarten tradition of paperfolding, but the folding of circular paper is an unusual addition.</p><p>You can find more information about Froebelian Paperfolding and Additional Occupations at <a href="https://www.origamiheaven.com/historyindex.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">origamiheaven.com/historyindex</span><span class="invisible">.htm</span></a> </p><p>The booklet has no date, no author(s) and no table of contents. This could be the second, or more likely, the fifth edition (1929) of ‘Paper Folding for Schools’ by M Hopkins, including a series of lessons on paper-folding from the circle, by Lilian Elliott.</p><p>Contents:<br>The aim and value of paper folding<br>Preliminary talk on the unfolded square<br>The first folds<br>Objects made from two squares of paper<br>Corner folds on square<br>Ground form—the large envelope or letter<br>Ground form—the small letter or envelope<br>Ground form—the houseboat<br>Ground form—the boat<br>Ground form—the boat with the sail<br>Ground form—the boat with the box for fish<br>Ground form—picture frame<br>Simple objects from the oblong<br>Paper-folding from the circle<br>Objects made from the fourfold plan<br>Segment folds between the diameter</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/origami" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>origami</span></a> @origami <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/paperfolding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paperfolding</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craft</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/froebel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>froebel</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/usedbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usedbook</span></a></p>
