I am sure this will be a surprise to my Japanese friends when they see us coloring papers for origami. Here I haven’t seen any shop selling papers exclusively for origami. Maybe I need to explore the market. We had plenty of origami papers as a gift. Now its almost finished and therefore we make children color one side of the paper. It’s a bit lengthy process and perhaps boring for some but children sing along while coloring. They use white papers for practice but color the final one. I leave it up for them to choose between crayons and colored pencils. I tried to make small squares out of glazed papers but it tore quickly while making creases.
I remember purchasing origami papers at hyaku-yen shop in Japan. My son made countless of models when he was just in kindergarten. I just wish children here in the school learn to make too.
