1.) 12inx12in (approx. 30cmx30cm)
2.) Red/white, Blue/white, Yellow/White, Green/White (four different sheet colours)
3.) Bond paper/copy paper thickness
4.) Kraft Scrapbooking paper.
5.) Intermediate to Complex (looking for dry folded animals/creatures that have a "cuteness" factor for a few elementary students that would make a good use of the paper size)

Daniela Carboni's Baby Dragon in Licence To Fold, maybe some Montroll or Diaz stuff.

Baby Dragon is a nice idea, I'll give it a try. (Thanks. :))
Could you give me some ideas on which Diaz/Montroll stuff I should look for?

I'm not familiar with a lot of their stuff, to be honest, but you could try one of Montroll's elephants, his Horse, or his Husky. Maybe Diaz's Panda or one of his frogs.

It depends on whether frogs are cute.....
Personally i find them funny, but cute? Still, a baby dragon does sound nice (and cute)

I find frogs to be quite adorable, Harpseal, though you might not think so. ;)
I personally like Roman Diaz's second frog in Origami Essence when it comes to cuteness, so I think I'll fold that one.

Frogs always seem to look like they know something that you don't. I find them quite philosophical creatures in some senses, so in some ways i quite respect them. That's why if i fold a complex frog, i'd fold it looking thoughtful.
If this post was too strange for anyone, just say.

1) 15x15 cm (6x6 in)
2) 2 sheets of red/white paper
3) Copy paper thickness or maybe a little bit thinner
4) Triple tissue paper
5) Easy to complex. Something that has color change.

there are some real nice models in the latest tanteidan convention (17) for that, especially the Santa ornament...

it would look and work great with that paper, and if you used methylcellulose to make it together, then give it a wet finish.

Do you mean one side is red and one side is white on one square of paper?
In that case, try a fox with good colour changes, such as Quyet's fox cub, which is simple and would be easy to fold with 6inches of paper. It can be found in tanteidan 15.
