This is the best app if you start paper folding activity. It's even better than following a step-by-step model with a crap paper in your hands. On each step, you'll clearly see the line where to fold your e-paper exactly. The app will show you where to put your finger and the direction to slide it. The great advantage is you don't need to longly stare at a fixed image and try to understand how to fold for going to the next step. All the steps are clearly shown on your screen, each gesture can be seen in a quick glance. After the last step of folding, take a pen and a color, draw and paint on your folding as shown on the models, or create your own drawings. Check out now this best paper folding simulation.

To use Lumo, Simply attach paper to your iPad, trace the glowing line, and bring the audio story to life! Lumo uses a REAL pencil/pen/marker to create your drawing, not one of those fancy Apple Pencils. We recommend using a pencil or a felt tip pens.
