Features: Origami originated in China and has now become a widely popular and highly favored handicraft activity enjoyed by children all over the world. It is simple, versatile, cost-effective, and highly rewarding, making it a classic "learning through play" game. Practical evidence shows that origami has excellent educational benefits and greatly contributes to nurturing children's intelligence. A thin piece of paper, through folding, layering, cutting, trimming, turning, and pulling, blooms into beautiful flowers, showcases lively and adorable animals, and constructs lovely houses in the hands of children. These processes require observation, imagination, generalization, exaggeration, and creativity, involving the coordinated use of eyes, hands, and brains, as well as following a logical sequence in folding and assembly. During origami, various shapes such as quadrilaterals, triangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, circles, and polygons are used, and these geometric concepts and mathematical principles gradually take root in children's minds. At the same time, when hand muscles move, they stimulate nerve endings, promoting the development of corresponding brain areas. Therefore, origami is also an excellent means for intellectual development in children.
When children engage in origami, they initially need guidance from their parents. The process of teaching and learning can deepen parental love and care, allowing parents and children to share the joy of success and fostering strong parent-child relationships. This book is organized in a category-based sequence, progressing from simple to complex, and collects 237 origami examples across various categories, including animals, birds, fish, insects, plants, containers, clothing, vehicles, and toys. The illustrations are vivid, the diagrams are clear, and the steps are straightforward, making them easy to understand and fold. Even illiterate children can grasp the origami techniques at a glance. It is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and highly practical origami guide. This book can not only serve as a trusted teacher and companion for parents and children but also be an ideal textbook for kindergartens.
