Why Love Origami
Origami is all about the process of transforming a plain square piece of paper into a remarkable sculpture. Though the process is difficult and often frustrating, the result is always worth going through the folding process.
Origami is both time consuming and requires a high level of attention to detail. This is why origami is a great way to teach fine motor skills and patience.
