Oragami- fun above the fold!

At the Tuition club, our children have been getting creative with Origami; the ancient art of paper folding!  This art form engages our students as well as enhancing their skills -including improved spatial perception and logical and sequential thinking.

Children love origami whether it’s their first paper airplane, paper hat, or paper boat. And while we might not always think about it, origami surrounds us- from envelopes, shirt folds to brochures and fancy towels. Origami has been found to improve not only 3-D perception and logical thinking, but also focus and concentration. Often in assignments, there is one set answer and one way to get there. Origami provides children an opportunity to solve something that isn’t prescribed and gives them a chance for trial and error. So, no matter how you fold it, origami is a way to get children engaged, improve their skills, and makes them appreciate the world around them more!
