Origami Jumping Frog
Fold it in five minutes, then race it across the table for half an hour.
The folding is the activity. The racing afterwards is why they make six more.
ما تحتاجه
- paper
- pens for decorating
طريقة التنفيذ
- Use a rectangle of paper, roughly half an A4 sheet.
- Fold it into a frog shape, pressing every crease firmly.
- Press down on the back end and let go to make it jump.
- Decorate it and make a second one in a different colour.
- Mark a start and finish line on the table and race them.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
Origami demands precise, sequenced folding with immediate feedback, since a sloppy crease produces a frog that will not jump. That direct link between care and result is unusually motivating.
