Paper has been around for over 2,000 years. And while much has been said in recent years about our society moving toward being “paperless,” that day is a long way off, especially if crafters have anything to do with it.

Children are introduced to papercrafts before reaching school age. What child hasn’t known the joy of taking crayon to paper to create a masterpiece? Next, special blunted safety scissors are introduced, along with it-won’t-harm-you-if-you-eat-it glue or paste. At that point, creativity takes flight. Sometimes literally, in the form of paper airplanes! And the complexity of papercrafting only grows from there. Snowflakes, origami paper animals, cootie catchers, paper footballs…school is filled with opportunities to manipulate paper into art and artifacts.
