Folding 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 in the sky.

When we do origami with children, we promote various skills. Fine motor skills are developed as children fold the paper precisely. Their imagination is stimulated as they envision their flat paper turning into a three-dimensional object. Abstract thinking is also encouraged as children learn to translate two-dimensional instructions into three-dimensional shapes.
