Hi Lisa,

I think your safest bet is to teach traditional origami, or origami for which 
the creator has freely distributed diagrams. 
By traditional origami, I mean models the author of which  is unknown and which 
have been around “forever." A good source for traditional origami is John 
Montroll’s book “Fun and Simple Origami.”  It has some models of his own 
design, but most of the 101 models are traditional, and hence public domain 
(not the diagrams, but you can teach the models without distributing diagrams). 
For free diagrams on the internet, there are many resources, but 
http://www.origami-resource-center.com/ 
 is a good place to start.

I’m sure others will chime in with plenty more suggestions…

Have fun!
Matthew

[Origami] Permission question

[Lisa Corfman]

Hey Folders!

I am excited to be starting an after school job entertaining kindergarten
through 3rd graders. I get to run an activity daily with the kids. My
question is, can I teach origami and whose models can I teach? I am not
getting paid to teach the kids origami, I am just making sure they are safe
and have a good afternoon. I do want to inspire a love of origami in the
kids. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Lisa
