Description This book is designed for children ages 5 and up who are ready to try more complex folding projects. It includes a variety of origami creations along with fun ways to play with them. Children grow by constantly asking "Why?" and "What's this?" as they discover new things through everyday play. "Play" is a treasure box that helps children understand the nature and combination of objects while building creativity through repeated experience. Around age 5, children's brains process information at a speed close to that of adults. Their curiosity about "What would happen if I did this?" grows stronger, leading to a spirit of challenge and creativity — "Let's try it!" This is why children become more interested in numbers and shapes as they play by combining different things. Origami is one of the most intellectually enriching forms of play. The small, precise movements of little fingers constantly stimulate the brain, and imagining the next shape while folding helps train spatial and shape recognition. Above all, there's something truly magical about creating a work of art using just a single sheet of paper and the simple act of folding. ● Use finished origami pieces as a starting point to create something new. ● Learn how to interact and play together with friends. ● Explore the wonder of shapes through "origami that moves and plays." Folding and finding new ways to use the finished pieces is only part of the experience. Even while folding, children are likely already imagining new ways to play — because that creative instinct is simply part of who they are. We hope parents and caregivers will take an interest in nurturing children's thinking and creativity whenever possible. The sparkle of achievement in a child's eyes after finishing a fold is more wonderful than anything else. Table of Contents A Note to Parents Basic Origami Techniques and Symbol Guide 1.
