• Bi-lateral development of the brain: Origami helps stimulate both the left and the right hemispheres of a child. As both the hands are required to work in a symmetrical pattern to achieve intended results. The left hemisphere is responsible for right-hand control, analytical and sequential thinking. The right hemisphere is responsible for left-hand control, holistic and creative thinking.
• A Link to Math: Transforming a flat piece of paper into a three-dimensional bunny (or other origami figures) is a unique exercise in spatial reasoning. Origami is also important in teaching symmetry; for many of the folds, whatever is done to one side is done to the other. Besides, paper-folding allows students to create and manipulate basic geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, and triangles.
• Brain Booster: The ability to skillfully move one?s fingers to create detailed objects is important for a child?s development. Since our peripheral nerves are centered in our fingertips, they are often called our ?second brain?. Using fingertips to make detailed origami sends signals to the brain making the activity a great form of training for the brain.
• Improves Imagination: Making an animal out of a flat sheet of paper and watching it come alive improves imagination. It also helps kids build stories around those animals and be little story-tellers.
• Advanced Learning: Kids can make each animal 4 times using the 2 printed sheets, and then can advance to creating them on the 2 semi-printed sheets and master the art. Furthermore, kids have the option to decorate their own animals using the stickers provided with the kit.
