Origami is fun, challenging, decorative, practical, educational and rewarding. There are hundreds, if not thousands of origami on the sites here. You can even print your own paper and with some practice, will be making beautiful origami very soon.
This is the original Japanese site. If you can read a little (or a lot) of Japanese, or are good at navigating sites, this is worth a look too. The seasonal and monthly origami can be set out differently….plus it is fun to be reading Japanese.
Origami player is another fabulous origami site. Enjoy !
Kids Club has a wide variety of activities to do, print out, decorate with and enjoy.
For teachers, Japanese Teaching Ideas is an amazing site. A password is required to enter, and to gain access, you need to donate a Japanese teaching resource. It is a site where teachers exchange resources. There are a wide variety of useful resources including worksheets, Power Points, games, art and crafts, flashcards, lesson plans, songs, videos, useful links and much more. The collection of resources is growing every day so keep checking on this site, it is full of amazing material to enhance your lessons and motivate you as a teacher as well.
Kendama Australia have some fantastic information on their site and super Kendama for sale.
What I love about Kendama from Kendama Australia is the extra gold eyelet that the string goes through. They are also beautifully made and very sturdy (important for your kids and school students)
The colours and variety of Kendama is also amazing. Kendama Australia also have some great videos of mind-blowing Kendama tricks.
If you love all of the CHIBI on the site, then you will love buttercrumble.com.

Their work is suitable for everyone and they have created artwork for websites, stationery, jewellery, advertisements, fabric and promotional material.
