Mon-Kiri, the Japanese art of paper cutting, was sometimes used to cut out family emblems in ancient Japan. Recognizing symmetry helps us to appreciate and understand art including paintings, sculpture and buildings. Folding and cutting helps kids see that what happens to one part that they can see also happens to the other parts in a predictable way.

Monkiri is a combination of origami and silhouette. First you fold a paper and then you cut pieces away, but symmetrically.
