The site presents options for modular fish, Christmas trees and penguins, educators present entire paper compositions to the judgment of colleagues and site visitors.

At the moment, the resource is mainly designed for beginners, almost all assembly schemes are quite simple, but interesting even for those who have long been fond of origami.

1. Nothing to do with the child? Teach him how to fold simple origami paper. This will not only interest him, but also develop fine motor skills of the fingers, teach patience and attentiveness, and introduce him to the world around him. Children are very fond of doing something with their own hands, and not only children, it is always nice to create something so that later you can proudly say: “I did it myself.”

2. The best gift is a handmade one. An unusual paper craft is a great option, because the gift turns out to be absolutely unique, and most importantly, it’s not just a hastily bought thing in the nearest store, but an original thing that was made on purpose, for which a person spent time figuring out the origami scheme, sometimes even not one hour. Someone will say that giving a paper craft is not serious, but just look at this rose like a real one! And from these you can collect a whole bunch. Of course, you can also give money, but even here you can present a gift creatively by folding a paper hare or a bull out of money.

3. Valentines. Yes, yes, here you can also show your individuality and surprise your soul mate not with an ordinary paper-cut heart, but with a beautiful neat paper valentine folded using the origami technique.

4. Useful little things in the form of paper envelopes, beautiful gift boxes or photo frames. All this is first of all original, unusual and quite easy to do yourself according to step-by-step origami schemes.

5. Origami is a way to decorate a room. A paper swan made of modules can take its rightful place in any home and attract the admiring glances of guests. Do not forget about kusudamas - bright flower balls. Such paper crafts can be hung on a string in any corner of the apartment.

One of the most useful activities for most children of any age is origami paper crafts of varying complexity.

The essence of the game is simple and consists in the fact that you need to look at the schemes of origami crafts for children, then choose the most suitable one in your opinion, and then fold the paper according to the instructions.

Of course, do-it-yourself origami crafts are far from just ordinary fun, but also real creativity lessons that make it possible to actively develop fine motor skills of children's hands, as well as imagination.

Many parents make new origami crafts with their children, and most of them noted that this game has a huge number of different advantages compared to others.

Why is origami useful?

It will be difficult to list all the advantages of crafts from modular origami. But the most important thing is that thanks to a fairly simple, at first glance, game, the child gradually learns to fold paper, cut it, and also glue and bend accordingly.

Most modern games that parents have to buy for their children for developmental purposes are quite expensive, but paper is the material that is always in excess in any home.

Benefits of origami

Firstly, while creating any toys, the child actively develops fine motor skills of the hands, because the child learns to carefully follow the course of his thoughts, as well as consciously create interesting crafts.

Secondly, thanks to origami, the baby's attention is concentrated on any one subject, which teaches him to really focus.

Thirdly, by deciding to learn how to make origami crafts with your child, you will stimulate his imagination in this way, as well as fantasy.

Fourthly, such a game contributes to the development of the child's memory, because in order to end up with a figure, it is imperative to remember the sequence of performing absolutely all actions.

Fifth, through the creation of crafts, the child learns to work with scissors and other tools that he will have to deal with at school.

In addition, such a joint hobby allows you to unite all family members. If from time to time you fold even the lightest origami with your child, gradually moving on to more difficult and interesting schemes, unnoticed by him, then the child will definitely be properly prepared for classes at school, since he will already have various skills and minimal knowledge in the science of geometry.

Making a mouse

If you are looking at photos of origami crafts and want to try to make a light figure with your child for the first time, then a mouse is ideal.

The sequence should be:

• Bend the white sheet in the shape of a square from left to right, and then straighten it.
• In order to end up with a sheet in the shape of a triangle, you need to carefully bend the sheet from top to bottom.
• Bend the resulting sheet in a straight line to the left. It is important to be sure to capture approximately 1/3 of 1/2 of the final product. That is, it is necessary to make sure that the edge does not reach the middle in any case.
• Gently fold the corner of the sheet to the right with a ruler. Make sure that the edge on the left lies necessarily along an imaginary vertical axis, conventionally drawn in the middle of the sheet.
• Bend the lower part of the sheet with a ruler, without touching the central triangle.
• Open the corner of the resulting central triangle and bend it gently back a little so that the crease comes out.
• On the triangle that turned out, it remains only to draw the eyes, nose and mouth of the mouse with a pencil.

Of course, doing easy origami with children is one of the most exciting games, which, among other things, is also very useful for a child of almost any age.

In addition, thanks to the real variety of the most diverse schemes of almost any complexity, even an adult can find an origami craft to his taste.

The peculiarity of creating crafts also lies in the fact that when creating various figures, not only imagination is actively developing, but also thinking, which is especially important in the modern world.
