Origami is the art of paper-folding.
Its name derives from Japanese words ori (“folding”) and kami (“paper”).
Traditional origami consists of folding a single sheet of square paper into a
sculpture without cutting, gluing, taping, or even marking it.

Why is Origami good for you?

• Eye hand co-ordination
• Sequencing skills
• Maths reasoning
• Spatial skills
• Memory, but also patience and attention skills
• Origami allows you to develop fine motor skills and
• Mental concentration.

All this combined stimulates the brain - especially when BOTH hands are being used at the same time.
