For grown-ups
CreasePals teaches children to read standard folding notation — the valley and mountain lines and the arrows used in origami books worldwide — and to check their own paper against a picture.
Each step is one fold. After it, the child picks which of two pictures matches their paper; the wrong one shows the usual slip (folding the wrong way, or the other side). Every picture is computed from the paper's geometry, never drawn by hand.
All models are traditional. Each one has been folded by people from the pictures alone, from the words alone, and by a child of the band, before we published it. No timer, no score, no streak; each model ends with something real in the child's hand.
What it never does
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking — anything kept stays on this device.
- No streaks, timers to beat, points to chase or leaderboards.
- No chat, and nothing anyone types is sent anywhere.
The grown-up side of the same idea, on Spark & Whetstone, our free site for grown-ups: Fold across the table. The same traditional models; each of you folds your own square.
