Origami is not just an art form. Math concepts (shape, geometry, angles), concentration, fine motor, challenge and problem-solving. We introduce loads of origami projects as they encompass a wide range of skills and the kids enjoy the finished product.
jOrigami students have surpassed my skills; mastering one of the most challenging and popular of origami; the paper crane. The kids were hooked on making cranes after reading Sadako; a true story of a Japanese girl who suffered cancer due to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
