The Importance of Origami for Child Development

Origami promotes the development of fine motor skills in children in a playful way. When children fold paper, they train the coordination between hands and eyes and strengthen the muscles in their fingers and hands. These skills are very important later when learning to write and in many other everyday activities.

Creative folding activities also stimulate cognitive development. They promote spatial thinking, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Through crafting together, you also get to know your child's strengths and interests better and can support them individually.

This Origami skull is particularly exciting because it is created from a simple piece of paper and can then be decorated with your own creative ideas. Every child can give their skull a unique character!
