Folding 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. There is hardly anything more fascinating for a young child than an airplane flying high up in the clouds.

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

Fine motor skills: Precise folding and manipulating of the paper train the small hand muscles.
Imagination: Children learn how complex shapes can emerge from a simple sheet of paper.
Abstract thinking: Understanding and following folding instructions promote logical thinking.

The development of fine motor skills is especially important while children are still young. It lays the foundation for many later skills, such as writing or tying shoelaces.
