Origami Planes, Trains, Automobiles & More

If there is one thing the past year or so has brought out in us, it’s our innate creative ability. All of us, especially children, have a natural skill or hidden talent that needs to be developed and nurtured. But, sometimes we need a little spark to ignite this creativity. Origami can be that vehicle that opens the door to our children’s imagination and artistry and influences their creative wheels to keep turning.

Origami is a tactile and engaging craft that encourages kids to fold, sculpt and manipulate paper into a variety of decorative shapes and figures ranging from easy to complex. It’s also an engaging art that’s tranquil, relaxing and can improve one’s agility, cognition, and problem-solving skills. Plus, it’s so much fun and an enjoyable pastime! Here are a few Origami items from Tuttle Publishing that will fuel anyone’s imagination.
