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