Paper Engineering | Ages 6+

Description

In this hands-on and colourful workshop, kids bring paper to life by creating their very own 3D and decorative artworks! Guided step-by-step, children fold, cut, curl, or layer paper to make origami shapes, pop-up cards, quilled designs, paper flowers, and more - turning simple sheets into beautiful creations before their eyes. Each child completes their project during the session and takes home a 3D masterpiece they’ll be proud to show off. Benefits of Paper Engineering ------------------------------------------------ 1. Develops Focus & Patience - Following step-by-step instructions and assembling pieces encourages concentration, pattern recognition, and perseverance.

 5. Supports Mindfulness & Calm - The repetitive and hands-on process helps children slow down, stay engaged, and feel centred.
 6. Teaches Problem-Solving & Planning - Assembling layers, creating mechanisms, or building 3D structures develops logical thinking and patience. 7.
