Folding an Origami Dino is an exciting adventure in the Japanese art of paper folding. Origami captivates children and adults alike as it promotes fine motor skills and stimulates the brain. For children, it is a great way to unleash their creativity, while adults can relax while doing it. Our instructions are designed so that each step is easy to follow. With videos and numerous photos, we guide you through the folding process. Don't worry if you are unsure at the beginning - you can do it! We test each instruction with a 10-year-old child. If it works, it will work for you too.

The Origami Dino sparks children's imagination. They can dive into prehistoric worlds with it, invent stories, or use it as cool decoration. The folded dinosaur is also a great gift or for role-playing. While folding, you learn patience, concentration, and meticulousness. You quickly realize: one wrong step, and you have to start over. This helps you practice working slowly and precisely. Origami trains your endurance and discipline - important skills for life.
