The papers used for origami are thinner than standard sheets of paper, even though they are more serviceable, that makes them easier to fold. They are specially made to serve this origami art form, and so they are a much better option compared to regular paper. This makes the folding process a lot easier and seemingly difficult folds simpler to make. Especially for children and beginners that may be having a hard time folding paper into the shapes they are trying to form.

They also come in a ready-to-use square shape compared to regular paper which comes in a rectangular shape that you’ll have to cut from. This ends up leaving some diagonal creases that you do not need and that may affect your origami fold.
