Dive into creativity at the Ornamental Fish Trade Centre! We’re hosting a special workshop for kids at Kayal Food Court to help you master the art of Origami.Origami requires precise movements and finger pressure.Hand-Eye Coordination: Following a visual diagram and translating it into a physical fold sharpens the link between the eyes and hands.Dexterity: It strengthens the small muscles in the hands, which is excellent for improving handwriting and artistic skills.2. Boosts Mathematical ThinkingOrigami is essentially "geometry in motion."Spatial Visualization: Kids learn to understand shapes (3D objects created from 2D squares).Fractions and Symmetry: Every fold involves concepts like halving, layering, and creating mirror images.Problem Solving: If a fold goes wrong, they have to backtrack and figure out the logic of the paper.3. Enhances Patience and FocusIn a world of instant digital gratification, origami is a slow, deliberate process.Step-by-Step Logic: Kids must follow instructions in a specific sequence. Skipping a step means the model won`t work, teaching them the value of attention to detail.Persistence: Completing a complex model gives kids a massive sense of accomplishment and teaches them that practice leads to results.4. Therapeutic & CalmingThe repetitive nature of folding paper can be very meditative. It helps children:Reduce anxiety and "unplug" from screens.Focus on the present moment (mindfulness).Express themselves creatively through different colors and patterns.5. Cultural AppreciationIt’s a wonderful way to introduce children to Japanese culture and the history of folk art, broadening their perspective of the world.
