Chigiri-e - Animals

Have you ever heard of Chigiri-e? It is a fun art form born in Japan that involves tearing off pieces of origami paper and using them to draw pictures. In English, it is called “Paper tearing art using origami paper. It is very popular among children because it is easy and allows them to use their imagination. They tear origami paper into desired shapes and glue them onto paper to create designs. It’s like collage, but with origami paper!

If you are in an area where origami paper is not available, you can use colored flyers or newspaper. If you have glittery paper, children will be even more motivated.
It takes a lot of finger strength to tear the paper into small pieces. Once you are able to tear it into small pieces, you can make a nice collage.

For this sheet, I made a sheet with animals as the theme.
I used lions, sheep, horses, hedgehogs, alpacas, and orangutans as the subjects.
