Hello kids,

In the seventh tutorial I came up again in a different topic that kids love to design. I saw many of you have submitted the last week home work post about your favourite animal habitat. So this time I thought making a new lesson for you. In the steemit engagement challenge there was a contest to make an origami design. I have shred the way of making a butterfly in that event. So today I will show you how can we make an origami boat.

ORIGAMI BOAT

Origami is an art came from old Japan. it is said that many years back Japanese people invented the Origami art done with papers. Now it is famous all over the world. Origami helps to develop children's motor skills. That is why in most schools origami is practiced for their children.

There are many designs that we can do as origami art. Today I thought of sharing with you how I made an origami boat. For me origami boat has a nice history. When I was a child me and my sister used to make paper boats and sail in the water during rainy days. We love looking at boats sail with the water waves. This is a really famous thing among the children those days. We keep waste papers to make the boats.

Today I took a paper and fold it into two. Then I folded the paper from the edges as you can see. And then I folded the borders to either sides.

It is a small square again. Now I folded the edges again. I flattened the bottom again and now my paper boat is ready to sail.

I know that you all are very creative and you can make designs better than me. So from this tutorial I expect that you all will make something as an origami art and share it with us.

From this event I invite all verified kids to participate :

• You should design an origami design in a creative way.
• Tell us why you like this particular origami design and share the steps of making it.
