The folded paper cat sparks children's imagination. They can invent stories with it or use it as decoration. The Cat Origami is also excellent as a gift or for role-playing. While folding, you learn patience, concentration, and care. You quickly realize: One wrong step, and you have to start over. This way you practice working slowly and precisely. Origami trains your endurance and discipline – important life skills.
