Paper folding is good for you and teaches you lots of things

I was quite amazed to read that Paper folding - Origami is very educational i.e. develops lots of skills.

Even though you don't realise it, you are learning as you are doing a fun thing. Things that one develops, when you are doing Origami:

• Eye hand co-ordination
• Creativity
• Following directions i.e. Read vs. understand skills
• Attention
• Manual dexterity
• Patience
• Temporal spatial skills
• Reasoning
• Visual motor skills
• Processing Skills
• Maths concepts (Geometry, proportion, measurement, symmetry, fractions)
• Cultural studies (Oriental)

Paper folding is also good for adults as its relaxing. It also helps people recovering from hand injuries regain their control over their hand movements and helps build muscles.
