Folding paper airplanes and other origami figures

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Folding airplanes is often one of the first origami projects children try out. For a young child, there is hardly anything more fascinating than an airplane flying high above their head in the sky.

When we do origami with children, we promote various skills:

Fine motor skills: Children improve their manual dexterity by precise folding and manipulating the paper.
Imagination: Origami stimulates the imagination as children create three-dimensional objects from a flat sheet of paper.
Abstract thinking: Children learn to translate two-dimensional instructions into three-dimensional shapes.

The development of fine motor skills is particularly important while children are young. To promote them, one can engage not only in origami but also in other crafting activities. On our website, you will find many ideas for crafting with children.
