The Book of Paper Animals
A sheet of paper in your hands and the book open; read the instructions, look at the drawings and fold the paper, slowly and carefully... you will see that, as if by magic, the sheet of paper has disappeared and you have before you a swan (or a frog or the animal you have chosen).
That's how easy and fun origami is. If you practice often, you will get better and better at it, and if you also use different colored paper or paint your works with colored pencils, you will soon be able to have the animals of your own zoo, farm or jungle. Origami is a very easy activity to practice that, without further expense, provides great moments of fun, and that the father and mother can share with their sons and daughters. It helps to develop manual skills, imagination and creativity; it improves the self-esteem of children who prove that they are capable of creating their own toys.
You can also teach them to recycle the paper used for their games while keeping them away from the television and other electronic screens. Emanuele Azzità is a great expert in origami who has published several works on this subject with De Vecchi Publishing House. On this occasion, he has proposed to present funny projects, suitable for the youngest members of the family.
