Mary offers fun, informative presentations for children and adults. She includes hands-on projects that all ages will enjoy.
Here's what others are saying about Mary's presentations:
"Your students will never lose their attention to this presentation. Ours could not wait to get to the library to check her books out and learn more about origami." ~Mrs. Rick, 6th Grade teacher
"Thank you for teaching us origami. It was interesting to hear how to write a book. My favorite part was hearing the world records for origami. I hope you keep writing books because I'm a fan of YOUR origami. Hope you can come again sometime!" ~ Hannah, 4th Grader
"I would highly recommend Mary and her presentation. The kids were excited. She engaged them in the activities. I now have her book and use it in a center in my classroom." ~ Mrs. Lindeberg, 2nd Grade teacher
"Thank you for coming and teaching us so much about origami. Those origami bookmarks were so cool and I already used mine. They work like a charm. Thank you." ~ Page, 4th Grader
