Ms Singh told the students about the origin of Origami and also explained its importance. The students were taught to make small useful decorative items like flowers, butterflies, fish and even a paper house! The children were provided with art material to give shape to their artistic cravings. The efforts threw up interesting displays of two-dimensional and three dimensional novelties made of origami paper. At the end of the workshop, every child carried back one or more origami item and a beautiful smile indicative of the time well-spent at learning something useful!
