Where To Buy Wholesale Paper Flowers?

Would you buy an origami piece at a town festival?

• My young son is very proficient with origami. He has used all of his origami paper and made beautiful origami flowers, animals, and objects. He said he would like to sell them for $1 a piece. I suggested that our town festival is comming up and perhaps I could get a permit for him to have a little stand.Also, that $0.25- $0.50 cents would more reasonable. I also suggested that he could sell a piece of paper with a "lesson" to make an origami object for $1 would probably be more appealing, but the option to buy ready made is available a little cheaper. We would like to know, would you buy origami or buy a "lesson"? He is 9, and very cute with green eyes and ash brown hair and a little gap in his front teeth and serious.

• Answer:

  I think your son is right, sell at a $1. If he spends his time teaching he should get double or triple depending on the difficulty of design. Is this really his idea? At nine, he has a strong entrepreneurial spirit. With your help (he doesn't seem to need your encouragement, just permission) let him cultivate his spirit in art and business. He will find on his own what works and what doesn't. At this age success and failure will not crush him like it so often does to adults.
