This year, the children are encouraged to write a poem about peace, fold it into a crane, then place their crane within their community, to be discovered by others just as you did. We are also connecting schools and community groups around the world with one another for a one on one exchange and friendship. I hope you will join us and encourage others to participate as well. <br />Sue DiCiccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379820557608104011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-33961419714617313182011-03-31T14:12:28.834-04:002011-03-31T14:12:28.834-04:00How wonderful.

I always get a kick out of leaving some small, odd thing(s) in a public space that will baffle (and hopefully amuse) the next person to see it. Anyway, thanks for giving me something to call our silly activities.Cadet Declanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979711574141777300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-37133790887406727612008-05-08T00:00:00.000-04:002008-05-08T00:00:00.000-04:00This is great!

How generous of this creator to share them with others.<BR/><BR/>In a church in New Haven Ct there is a giant "chandelier" of paper cranes all strung on fishing line filament and hanging by the thousand in an alcove of the church. When the sunlight hits them they warm up slightly and begin to move a bit with the energy of the heat.Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-84572393056342038802008-05-06T23:32:00.000-04:002008-05-06T23:32:00.000-04:00It's a Japanese myth that if you fold 1,000 paper ...It's a Japanese myth that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, you can have one wish granted.<BR/><BR/>But generally, they're just fun to do!

My 12 year old daughter wants to be a paleontogist, so dinos have become part our lives.
