Origami is the art of folding paper to make different shapes, like animals or flowers, without cutting or gluing. It started in Japan a long time ago and has become popular all over the world. People use origami for fun, to help with focus and creativity, and to learn about shapes and math. Scientists also use origami ideas to make things like space tools and small medical devices. Folding paper can be relaxing and help people feel calm. The paper crane is a famous origami shape that means peace. Origami is a fun way to create and learn using just paper and your hands.
