Try to make curved lines by paper folding.

Explanation

This activity helps children discover an important property: paper folding only produces straight line creases. When children try to fold paper to create curved lines, they will observe that the crease always forms a straight line. This reinforces the distinction between straight lines (which can be made by folding) and curved lines (which cannot be made by folding).
