Origami With Girlie

Last month just a few days before Christmas I was at my favourite bookstore and came across some origami books for children. (Origami is a Japanese folk art of paper folding). I decided to get one for my girl because I promised her quite a while ago that I was going to do some form of crafting with her (she loves art & craft), and I thought it would be a good bonding time too.

And we did have a great time. This paper doll was our first attempt, and she loved it so much and played with it till it's looking a tad crumpled now. (That is the origami book beside the doll.) And the we made Christmas tree, doggie and ice-cream which she gave away to some friends. Not only was she hooked, I was too!

So if you are looking for some activity to do with your pre-schooler, you might want to try this out! I think it's suitable for ages 3 or 4 onwards, and according to the book, it will help in their brain development too. But beware, it can be addictive!
