Origami for Kids divider panel
We used an inexpensive cardboard A4 ring binder to store our origami models, split into three sections:
Very first, we hole punched various pieces of coloured card for the front of the binder, onto which we stuck our models. Some pages we filled up model by model, even as we finished them, dating them and adding one or two comments along the way. Other pages we "themed" - by using a dark blue piece of card as a background for our various fish models, and adding some peel off stickers to make it look more interesting. We connected our models to the card with a
glue stick.
Second, we added a number of plastic-type sleeves into which we slipped the origami instructions we had printed away, ready to try.
3 rd, we used sticky-tape to attach a huge envelope to the inside back of the ring binder, through which we store our origami document safely.

Comments from our Visitors
"I found this site just today as my children asked about learning origami, not my favourite subject as in the past ten years, I've purchased three different 'origami for beginners' kits and have never managed to complete a single (simple! ) project
"Today, I made my first origami 'basket' - whilst my 8 and 9 12 months olds made their first fleet of ships, plants, a zoo packed with origami animals and more. Typically the instructions are excellent - by far the best I have seen and the tasks are great. What a great way to spend a rainy day and the youngsters enjoyed it immensely... as did I for once"
Call and make an Origami Scrapbook or Ring Binder
One of the downsides of origami is having an irritating collection of paper creations cluttering up the house, and nothing particularly to do with them!
The majority of the origami models at Activity Town are "flat" and therefore lend themselves to an origami scrapbook or ring binder.
Your son or daughter can store their valuable work, show it off when they wish to, add to the person pages with drawings, writing, stickers, or other embellishments, and date their models so that they have a record of their achievements and progression.
