Are you looking to engage your children with a fun, but educational activity?
Do you want to reduce their screen time, and activate their creative thinking?
Do you want to avoid spending a lot of money on overpriced children’s toys?

Experts agree that children today spend far too much time using mobile technology, which can seriously affect their mental and physical health. Children are born surrounded by technology, which they usually find incredibly entertaining, so it can be challenging to interest them in something else. While children cannot and should not completely avoid technology, it is up to parents to maintain a healthy balance.

Origami is a fun and educational paper-folding technique that ignites the creative spark, develops hand-eye coordination and improves memory, attention, and concentration. It can be learned at any age and is one of the cheapest “toys” out there. All your kids will need is paper and their imagination.

Soon they will be able to create numerous toys and decorations, and improve their many skills one fold at the time!

Here’s what you get with this book:
A bunch of origami models, from animals to learning game components, and everything in between
A step-by-step guide on how to create each model
Visual instructions with pictures for each step of creating a model
A guide on using different colored paper to create intricate designs
Models for beginners and advanced Origami masters
And much more!

Studies show that creating something with their hands can be incredibly beneficial for children’s mental health. Creating something and receiving praise for it boosts their confidence, and sparks their interests for trying new things. There’s nothing wrong with letting your child play games on your phone, tablet, or laptop. But every now and then, it’s good for them to try out new things, away from the screens. Technology provides them with a finished product – a game, a cartoon, a movie… but real creativity happens when kids have to create something using only their hands and minds.

Try this old Japanese technique, and watch your child’s dexterity and creativity flourish!
