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
