We all get bored waiting for dinner, right?!
Use the napkins and make some origami! Have your child copy your design and then see what she can come up with on her own!

Origami has several benefits:
- Motor Planning
- Sequencing
- Eye-hand coordination
- Attention to detail
- Spatial-temporal skills
- Bilateral motor coordination
- Fine Motor Coordination and dexterity
- Problem-solving
- Creativity

Stop the food fights and try origami, instead!
Do you have any interesting strategies to occupy the kids at restaurants?
