Origami for Kids divider
We used an inexpensive cardboard A4 ring binder to store our origami models, divided into three sections:
First, we hole punched various pieces of coloured card for the front of the binder, onto which we stuck our models. Some pages we chock-full model by model, even as we finished them, dating them and adding one or two comments along the way. Other pages we "themed" - utilizing a darkish blue piece of cards as a background for our various fish models, and adding some peel off stickers to make it look more interesting. We linked our models to the card with a stuff stick.
Second, we added Origami Easy Box a number of plastic-type sleeves into which we slipped the origami instructions we had printed away, ready to try.
Third, we used sticky-tape to attach a sizable envelope to the inside back side of the ring binder, by which we store our origami papers safely.

Comments from our Site visitors
"I found this site just today as my children asked about learning origami, not my favourite subject as in the past 10 years, I've purchased three different 'origami for beginners' kits and have never managed to complete a single (simple! ) project
"Today, I actually made my first origami 'basket' - whilst my 8 and 9 year olds made their first fleet of ships, blossoms, a zoo filled with origami animals and more. The instructions are excellent - undoubtedly the best We have seen and the tasks great. What a great way to spend a Bateaux En Papier+facile rainy day and the kids 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 annoying collection of paper masterpieces cluttering up the house, and nothing in particular to do with them!
The particular majority of the origami models at Activity Town are "flat" and therefore lend themselves to an origami scrapbook or ring binder.
Your kid 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.
