To be more descriptive, here are some core benefits:

Using fingers while doing origami art improve fine motor skills and brain development

When we do origami we use our fingers for creating specific shapes out of paper. This is the ability to skilfully move our fingers for creating detailed objects. This is an important skill for a child’s development. According to studies children who are good with their fingers tend to be good at other sports and have shown good rhythm and balancing. There is also neurology of having our peripheral nerves in our fingertips, thus fingers are often called our “second brain”. When we use our fingertips for making detailed origami it sends signals to our brain which further makes the activity a great form of exercise/ training of our brain.

Helps in developing imagination and a sense of colour

Origami is a type of art that boosts the imaginative thinking and it requires children that they should figure out how they can reach the final product. Also, the amazing paper magic incorporates the use of many different colors of paper while we create an object and the image is known to often change depending on the colour used.

Also helps in improving concentration and spatial awareness

When we create origami, we use our fingertips for creating detailed objects. This helps a lot in improving concentration. It also requires us to folding various sides of the paper at once, which further helps children while studying maths. Such a high level of concentration while folding various sides of the paper in addition also improves spatial awareness.
