Light origami for children and adults

It happens that a child has nothing to occupy. Try to teach him how to fold light origami paper. We hope that this will seriously interest your baby. In addition, such an activity develops fine motor skills of hands, teaches patience, attentiveness, indirectly introduces the big world around. Children love to make something with their own hands. And adults, helping them, are pleasantly distracted from everyday affairs - so quietly and the evening will fly by!
