Origami – Paper Folding

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Traditional origami utilizes square pieces of paper. It is a magic! You fold papers into amazing animals, boats, and flowers. Origami is fun for kids. They enjoy cool things to play or give them as gifts.

I wonder why kids love dogs. Even my niece and nephew love to play with dogs. I know it’s an all-time favorite for kids. My other niece 7 years old loves to hear the dog stories. Consequently, I trust, you are interested in teaching your kids how to make a dog using paper. Here we go

It will be fun to make dogs using colored chart papers. Paper folding or origami helps the kid learn the shapes, sizes, and colors of paper. while pressing the paper firmly, develop eye-hand coordination which helps them to develop pre-writing skills.
