Paper folding for kids
Modern origami for children carries multiple features of classical art, since the simplest, initial models are taken as the basis. Kids happily do folding; for them it is real magic when a crane, boat or frog suddenly appears from a square sheet of paper. Paper origami for children is an excellent option for a quiet activity that develops fine motor skills and abstract thinking, because when making the next fold, the child must understand how it will look when finished.
Origami classes are suitable for both creative groups in kindergarten and for studying at home. Folding figures with parents is a fun, interesting activity that will appeal to all family members.

Variety of origami types
Experts distinguish several types of folding art:
- classic. For it, take one square sheet, and the figures are folded without scissors and glue;
- modular. Several sheets of different shapes and sizes are used, from which modules are assembled according to the origami scheme. Then the individual figures are connected using the nesting method;
- kusudama. A type of modular assembly, as a result of which a large figure in the form of a ball appears. You can put souvenirs or aromatic herbs inside it, using the ball as a sachet;
- Kirigami. This version of origami allows the use of scissors and glue.
Origami materials
The classic, familiar material for folding is paper. However, any sheet is suitable for origami, for example, foil, parchment, starched fabric. Special paper can be bought at the store; it is square in shape, with one white side and one colored side. It feels thinner than the one we buy for the printer, making it easier to fold several times.
But in Japan, classic figures are folded from washi paper. This is a handmade material, dense, heterogeneous, compared to ordinary sheets.

Children's books made of paper and cardboard
If your child does not like active games, you can create an interesting folding book with him with his favorite characters from cartoons and fairy tales. A homemade book will consist of pages fastened with a movable joint.
To create an interesting children's book you may need:
- thick sheets of colored cardboard;
- self-adhesive film;
- ruler, glue and scissors;
- fabric for distributing pictures;
- images and narrative text that are pre-printed on a color printer;
- additional details: beads, “live eyes”, rhinestones.
It is important to think through the contents of the book in advance. The book can consist only of pictures - for the little ones and with text for older children.
Paper garlands
Before you start making a paper garland, you need to decide on the shape of the future product. Thin paper is suitable for light garlands that will sway with every gust of wind.
Thick material, such as cardboard, is suitable for heavier decorative items. Such a garland will be many times heavier, so do not forget about a more secure fastening.
A DIY paper garland is a good alternative to New Year's decorations. Figurines in the form of Christmas trees, stars, gifts attached to a thread will create a New Year's mood, and will also help you save money on buying expensive store souvenirs.
Paper garlands are often used on windows in play areas of the house. Such a garland will fill your child’s own corner with a joyful atmosphere. With the help of such crafts made from colored paper, it is possible to change the design of the apartment based on the mood of the household.
