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 a young child, there is hardly anything more fascinating than a plane flying high up in the sky.

When we do origami with children, we nurture many important skills. Fine motor skills are trained as children make precise folds. Their imagination and abstract thinking are stimulated as they create three-dimensional objects from a flat sheet of paper.

The development of fine motor skills is particularly important for young children. To promote this, you can not only do origami but also many other craft activities. On our portal, you will find numerous ideas for craft projects with children.
