Origami is a Japanese art of paper-folding. 'Ori' means folding and 'kami' means paper in Japanese. Although it is taken for granted that origami must have originated in Japan; this is not the actual case. Origami originated in ancient China around first century AD and it was introduced in Japan by Chinese travelers. This Chinese art of paper-folding soon caught fancy of the Japanese who developed various origami shapes.
Origami was practiced only by the wealthy Japanese noblemen. As paper was expensive during that period, it was used by the affluent Japanese to show their skill and wealth. The Samurai would exchange gifts of folded paper with a strip of dried fish or meat, known as 'noshi'. This was considered as a good luck token. The Shinto noblemen celebrated weddings by wrapping glasses of rice wine in butterfly shaped origami representing the bride and groom.
As time passed, paper became less expensive. People from different social backgrounds could practice the art of origami. The origami instructions were passed on orally from mother to daughter, generation to generation. There were no written manuscripts of origami instructions due to high rate of illiteracy and most families didn't want their ideas to be copied by others. The first book, Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (The Secret of One Thousand Cranes Origami), containing origami instructions was published in 1797. In 1819, a woodblock print was made entitled, A Magician Turns Sheets of Birds, showing birds being made from paper. Window on Midwinter was published in 1845, that included 150 origami models.
Origami creates interests in minds of people who love craft activities even today. This art and crafts activity is enjoyed by children who love making their own special objects from paper. A few easy origami for kids instructions are discussed below.
The following are a few easy origami ideas that can be used as a craft activity for children
Origami Swan
Take a square sheet of paper and fold the paper diagonally and press the paper to form a crease. Unfold the paper and fold the lower edges of the square into the crease. Flip the paper and fold pointed corners over the crease. Now fold the pointed edge upwards into half. Fold the pointed corner downwards about half an inch to make the swan head. Fold the swan into half over the crease. Your origami swan is ready.
Origami Puppy
Take a square piece of paper, and fold the paper diagonally to form a triangle. Hold the triangle with the pointed edge facing downwards. Fold the tip of the bottom point to make the puppy's chin. Fold the other pointed edges downwards to make the puppy's ears. Draw eyes, nose and mouth to create the puppy's face.
Origami Hat
One of the most easiest origami craft ideas is making a hat. All you need is take a rectangular sheet of paper and fold it horizontally into two equal parts. From the corner of the closed end, fold about 2/3rd parts of the paper. This will bring the top corners together at the center of the paper. Your paper will now appear triangular in shape. With the help of your thumbs, fold the bottom end of the paper upwards from the open end. Turn the sheet over and repeat the step for the other bottom edge. Now, open your hat from the bottom center and enjoy wearing it over your head.
