Folding paper airplanes and other Origami figures

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Folding airplanes is one of the first Origami projects that children often try out. For young children, there is hardly anything more fascinating than an airplane flying high up in the sky. By imitating with paper, they can unleash their imagination.

When we do Origami with children, we foster many important skills. Fine motor skills are trained, which is very important for brain development. Imagination and abstract thinking are stimulated. Promoting fine motor skills is crucial, especially for young children. You can support them through Origami and other crafting activities. On our site, you will find many ideas for crafting projects with children.
