Easy Origami for Kids

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into shapes and figures. Some origami patterns are exceptionally difficult and others are quite easy.

For kids just starting out on their origami journey, these origami patterns are a great place to begin.

Origami is especially good for older elementary students and tweens and teens. Younger elementary students might find it a bit too difficult to master without a lot of patience.
