Three Fold Animal Origami – Fun Activities for kids and parents home.

 In Newsletters

CATTS occupational therapist Casey shows us some fun and easy tips that both kids and parents can enjoy at home.

Using origami is a little different from just playing. It gives your children a bit more structure and meaning, and is a fun way for your kids to learn important fine motor skills. The concentration required for kids’ origami activities makes this simple project a greats kids’ quiet time activity and helps work on kids’ patience.

Items Needed:

  • 1 x square piece of paper (you can buy origami paper from Kmart or Officeworks)
  • Coloured pencils
