The fun of moving your fingers! Let’s express animals using the traditional Japanese technique of “Chigiri-e”!
I want my child to do something fun, but I don’t want him to do something too difficult.
For such mothers and fathers, we recommend “Chigiri-e,” a traditional Japanese technique. Chigiri-e is a very simple art form in which origami is torn into small pieces and glued together to create pictures and patterns.
The process of tearing small pieces of paper trains children to dexterously move their fingers. Using the fingertips also promotes brain development and improves concentration and dexterity.
Tearing off pieces of paper into desired shapes and pasting them freely encourages children to develop their imagination. It is also fun to think, “What color should I use? It is fun to spend time thinking about it. The joy of completing their own unique work of art will give them confidence.
No special tools are needed. Anyone with origami paper and glue can easily get started. If you don’t have origami paper, you can use flyers, advertisements, or other familiar materials!
Chigiri-e not only nurtures children’s creativity, but also improves their concentration and manual dexterity. We invite you to explore the fun world of chigiri-e with your child!
