Origami materials
The classic, familiar material for folding is paper. However, any sheet is suitable for origami, for example, foil, parchment, starched fabric. Special paper can be bought at the store; it is square in shape, with one white side and one colored side. It feels thinner than the one we buy for the printer, making it easier to fold several times.
But in Japan, classic figures are folded from washi paper. This is a handmade material, dense, heterogeneous, compared to ordinary sheets.
Paper folding for kids
Modern origami for children carries multiple features of classical art, since the simplest, initial models are taken as the basis. Kids happily do folding; for them it is real magic when a crane, boat or frog suddenly appears from a square sheet of paper. Paper origami for children is an excellent option for a quiet activity that develops fine motor skills and abstract thinking, because when making the next fold, the child must understand how it will look when finished.
Origami classes are suitable for both creative groups in kindergarten and for studying at home. Folding figures with parents is a fun, interesting activity that will appeal to all family members.
