Kids DIY Books, More fun with Paper

After you are finished experimenting with paper and building, cutting and folding to make all kinds of fun things, let’s settle down a little and make some really beautiful things with paper.

Origami, has been done by children for many, many, years. It is a great way to work the small motor muscles in their hands and arms, at the same time it can be a lesson. Origami Cranes were made for the children that lost their lives in the Atomic Bomb that decimated Japan during the Second World War and have become an international symbol of peace since then. That is where origami starts with most children, learning how to make those cranes. What’s amazing is that cranes are just the beginning of what can be folded with paper.
