On our portal, you will find over 100 detailed instructions for various Origami figures. Each guide includes self-made videos, step-by-step photos, and detailed descriptions.

The Origami frog is particularly popular with children because it can actually jump! Gently press on its back, and the small paper frog will start hopping. Children love to organize frog races or fold an entire family of frogs in different colors.

Origami folding enhances concentration and fine motor skills. Children learn that accuracy and patience lead to success. These skills also help them in learning and at school. For seniors, paper folding provides a great way to train dexterity and keep the mind active.
