Folding circles is a process ... |
The purpose of this site is to promote the importance of folding circles. The circle is the most experiential, comprehensive, hands-on, educational tool we have, and yet most people do not know this. Every child in school should be folding as often as they draw pictures of circles, and discuss the information that is generated in the folding. You cannot anticipate what the circle will generate from a drawing. Folding circles is accessible to any person that can fold a circle in half, regardless of age or grade level (see How To Fold section). Paper circles are inexpensive and readily available worldwide in the form of paper plates.
Wholemovement™, as a process, is about pattern and pattern formation. In folding circles, by observing what is generated, thinking about and reflecting on those observations, using that information to explore further, we can discover and better understand the reality of the circle and the nature of what it represents.

Third Activity Book Now Available |
The latest installment in the Explore Folding of the Circle series is available now. This third book (EFC-3) combines the work of the first two and takes it further into new territory not available in previous works. This book covers the advanced folds required to make many of the models shown elsewhere on this website, including the soccer ball, square folds, and tubular forms. These new concepts create many beautiful models to contemplate and discuss.
