origami and kirigami website

 I posted two website where children can use teach themselves how to do variety of origami and kirigami. Origami is folding paper and drawing on the folded paper to feature something such as animal or object. It has to do with basic geometry and hand exercise and accuracy. The website has easy origami for beginners to expert level. Some people thing it is too childlike activity only thinking about making little fox or bear face. But actually it can expand to an art work by combining many little articulating pieces and putting them together one big work. There are many artists now who use all kinds of paper for their medium and use their creative skills of folding and drawing with paper. 

Basic level example

on the left column of the home page, they are categorized clearly so children can easily click on each category and find direction for how to make what.  First two below 'Home' says origami base folds and simple origami. Beginner children can start from here and get familiarized with basic concept of origami. Then there are more such as animals, flowers, house, fashion, and cars. Both website has many good information about origami with easy website instructions for children. I personally like the second website more because 
it include kirigami too. Kirigami is similar to origami but I would say it is for little higher level of children because kiri means -to cut; basically it combines folding and cutting. Cutting details for thickly folded paper is not very easy. Children can gain meticulous skills and strength on their hand  with origami and incorporate kirigami for bigger work later.
