The Origami Sailboat enchants with its simple shape and invites you to play. Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, promotes the development of fine motor skills and activates both brain hemispheres. Children and adults alike benefit from this creative activity. Our instructions are child-friendly - with videos and photos for each step.

An Origami sailboat sparks imagination and evokes maritime adventures. Children can play with it in the bathtub or paddling pool. The folded boat also makes a perfect table decoration for parties or a creative element in a sea-themed children's room.

While folding, you train patience, concentration, and precision. You also learn that each step must be executed precisely. If a mistake happens, you simply start over. Folding origami enhances your endurance and discipline.
