Origami - the Japanese art of paper folding is very popular with many children because of its creativity and ability to train concentration, logical thinking and develop motor skills. Among the familiar Origami models, the way to fold a crab is simple and does not take too much time.
To fold a crab, parents and children should prepare a square sheet of brightly colored paper, such as red, orange or yellow, along with a marker and scissors before following the steps to fold the paper into a crab shape.
Fold the square paper in half diagonally to create a crease. Then unfold it and fold the two opposite edges to the center of the paper to create a triangle.
At the bottom two edges of the triangle, fold outward to create the crab's claws so that the two claws are symmetrical. Next, fold the bottom of the triangle inward to create the crab's body, making the crab look more balanced.
The final step is to use a pen to draw eyes and a mouth on the crab. If you have fake eyes, add them for a more realistic effect.
Before making, you should choose thin, tough paper so that it is easy to fold without tearing. In addition to instructions, parents should encourage their children to be creative to have new, unique products according to their preferences.
