For this creative craft we've been inspired by the amazing marine creatures in our Ghost Nets exhibition - not only cute, they're a great teaching tool about ocean health and sustainability.

What's 'kirigami'? You've probably heard or origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. Kirigami is a variation of origami that includes the cutting of paper! This allows you to be a bit more creative with your paper craft. Give it a try and see how you go!
