Origami doesn't always have to be complicated! Even small children can fold simple figures and playfully develop their fine motor skills. It is important for children aged 3 and above to train their finger dexterity, and that is exactly what we focus on in this series of articles on Kids' Origami. Most articles in this series show you how to fold simple animals with your child. This way, you can get to know animals together, color them brightly, and at the same time, make your fingers more skillful.

For each article, we have prepared a video tutorial and a step-by-step guide with photos and descriptions. Watch the video first, then follow the steps based on the photos, and only then start folding with your child. All you need is colorful origami paper and colored pencils for coloring. A glue stick can sometimes be useful to fix the folds.

Step-by-Step Guide to Folding a Tiger for Young Children

Why is it important to promote fine motor skills in children?

Fine motor skills are particularly important in young children as they form the basis for many everyday skills. Origami promotes fine motor skills like almost nothing else. In addition, children learn that it is often better to work slowly and concentrate in order to achieve a good result. With each fold, the rule applies: one wrong crease can ultimately result in the figure not looking as nice. But not only that: Origami also stimulates the imagination and promotes abstract thinking, as the child must imagine how a simple sheet of paper becomes a tiger or another animal.
