- Fold with clean, dry hands.
- Follow the instructions. Study the diagrams and be patient.
- Be precise: fold each crease well, flattening the creases by running your fingertip over the fold.
- Folding the paper away from you is easier than folding towards you.
- Be creative...use your origami on greeting cards, holiday decorations, table place cards and bookmarks.

scissors
glue or tape

printed turkey template

Hawaiian Thanksgiving Greetings
In Hawaii, Thanksgiving is celebrated just as it is on the mainland United States: with family, friends, and lots of food. Alongside the traditional turkey and stuffing, you'll likely find island favorites like sushi, noodles, rice and poke (Hawaiian raw fish salad).
To add an island flavor to the Thanksgiving meal, locals will sometimes prepare the turkey in an an imu. The imu is a traditional Hawaiian oven created by digging an earthen pit and lining it with rocks. Once the flames have died down and the rocks are very hot, the imu is lined with green banana leaves and palm fronds. Kālua turkey and pork steamed in an imu is ono (delicious)!
2. Print and Fold a Hawaiian Kālua Turkey Card:
