Origami Art for Children

Great color and pattern exploration! Beautiful designs made by elementary kids. #art #origami #kid art www.grandparentsplus.com

 Origami is the art of paper-folding.

This is a simple project where kids or adults can have fun with color and design.

 Using just two simple folding methods, these designs are quite easy, dazzling in color, and fun to do. Designs can be symmetrical or free-flowing. This is a great project to experiment with color combinations, patterns or simply creating an interesting picture. The project keeps elementary kids busy and hold their interest for a long time!

The end product looks great because they are so colorful and 3-dimentional!

Materials:

Neon or brightly colored copy paper (cut in 3 inch squares or any size square you wish),

or use Post-it or Sticky Notes ( 3 inch squares)

Glue

Background paper (Construction paper or whatever you prefer)
