Why is promoting fine motor skills important for children?

Fine motor skills play a significant role in your child's development. They help with dressing, eating, and later writing. Paper folding activities strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination. This not only supports physical abilities but also promotes concentration and creativity.

Regular practice boosts children's confidence as they see their progress. Origami is a great way to learn playfully. It teaches patience and spatial thinking. While folding, children discover how they can create three-dimensional figures from a flat sheet. This stimulates imagination and brings much joy!
