Free Papercraft Printables for Kids

Paper can be folded, painted, glued, and shaped into just about anything you can dream up. Below are 6 amazing sites which offer free paper printables.

Origami-Club

I feel like I’ve stepped into a world of endless mini-possibilities when I visit the Japanese site, origami-club.com.  Here, you are welcome to print out origami paper for folding, or to use on other projects.

This site offers so much, and is easy to navigate.

First, you can print out Figured Papers with striped, polka-dotted, and mini-fig patterns. Or, check out the Japanese design-themed Japanese Papers.

Then, you can navigate to instructions on the left-hand side - for projects like furniture, clothes, accessories, paper planes, animals, Valentines, flowers, sea creatures, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Origami-club has a star rating system to show you the difficulty level of each project. And, when you click on a project, you get a well-explained, step-by-step printable graphic, like the screen grab below.

Some of the projects also come with a step-by-step graphic player – indicated by (anime) next to the star rating. If you prefer folding alongside an animation rather than reading directions, you get to use a fun graphic animation simulator, which you can even pause or speed up.

​

Be sure to take the time to search origami-club.com - there's so much to discover.
