Wish Boxes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

I love these are lesson ideas! Young artists practice the art of Calligraphy and Origami. They make gift boxes with good wishes. This plan includes an excellent component that shows exactly how to fold the paper in order to make the box, and some good descriptions of ways to use Caligraphy to decorate them.
