This tool was developed as part of Cultural Cwtsh, which was an online creative wellbeing hub for the health and care workforce in Wales, created by the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with artists across the country.
In partnership with the Arts Council of Wales, we’re excited to share this mental wellbeing tool, alongside with many other creative resources, with everyone in Wales!
In Japanese culture, ‘Tsuru’ means ‘crane’, which represents hope and healing in difficult times.
This simple activity will give you 10 minutes of mindfulness, relaxation, and distraction through origami by making a paper crane (bird).
It’s a very simple activity that requires a single sheet of paper, and so will not cost anyone anything to make.
It can be done anywhere and with anyone, so if family and friends want to get involved too, they can!
Keep practising; it gets easier, and that’s when the real magic happens. Ten minutes folding, creating and being in the moment.
Equipment needed: A single sheet of paper
