Quick and Easy and Cool Origami Crafts
Ready for some tactile entertainment? We've got 25 easy origami figures for kids! Traditional origami consists of "folding a single sheet of square paper (often with a colored side) into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, taping, or even marking it." While specially designated origami paper exists to make the process easier, you can also cut printer paper into squares to use prior to starting your particular project. Even without using any techniques besides creasing and folding paper, it is possible to create incredibly intricate figures like cranes, frogs, sunglasses, and more! And thanks to many talented artists who have shared step-by-step instructions via YouTube tutorials, completing such intimidating designs is much more feasible for origami beginners—including children!
So, if you're feeling drained from brainstorming new ideas to engross your little sweeties (or terrors), or frustrated from offering so much TV time (no judgment—these are crazy times!), or if you simply like the idea of adding another fine motor skill, hands-on, multi-sensory activity to their weekly roster, this may be the perfect craft to introduce! Enjoy looking through these 25 simple origami projects for kids.
