Origami

Some of you might know Japanese kids learn lots of Origami crafts when they are young. It is said Origami enhances the ability of fingertip movement and encourages brain activity etc.

Oliver is still too young to fold anything yet but I wanted him to play with Origami paper so I got some out this morning.

Result? He was more interested in the packaging - different animals. Never mind maybe next time... I found it funny he always wants to put things in line though. Very specific about it.





I hope he will learn to make things using Origami just as I did when I was a kid. I would love to pass as much of the Japanese culture as I can to my children.

If you are intersted in Origami crafts I found this site very useful.
