Description Naturally Develop Creativity Through Origami! Children aged 4, 5, and 6 are just entering their school years, a time when their muscles develop and their height and weight begin to change. Socially, this is also an important period as they build relationships with parents, teachers, and peers. Children become better able to regulate their own thoughts and feelings, develop a new understanding of themselves, and begin to develop a sense of belonging — becoming more interested in group play with friends. Origami supports children's character and social development during this important stage and has a positive influence on their growth. It helps improve attention and concentration, which can be beneficial for tantrums, tics, learning difficulties, and hyperactivity. Enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something with their own hands and ideas also helps boost children's confidence. Reading this book together and folding paper alongside your child can also become a warm, bonding experience for the whole family.
