My First Origami Kit

My First Origami Kit is a lovely way to introduce origami to children or all those who are young at heart. What I love about this Kit: * The step-by-step instructions combine photographs and standard origami symbols to make them very easy to follow. * Twenty origami models are included in a small-size book that is easy to carry in your pocket or purse. * There is an assortment of models, some traditional and some of the author's creation. Some of the models are toys, but most are animals. * My First Origami Kit can be used as a lovely way to introduce children to the animal kingdom, and the concepts of reptiles, mammals, birds and insects, as all these categories are represented in this book. * A particular model I'd like to highlight is a Teddy Bear that "talks" when you open and close its arms. It also folds flat and can be attached to a greeting card. Hint: Having instructions for this model alone is worth the prize of the whole book ;-) * My First Origami Kit includes special origami paper and stickers for creature's eyes and noses. In all, this little kit is BIG fun!

Wonderful for a beginner and I’ve loved the easy instructions

My 9 year old son loves this! The directions are a little conffusing at first but once you have the hang of it your good.

My nieces (8 and 10) and I were attending an event where we anticipated long waits in line. This kit was perfect to entertain and amuse all of us. My only slight critique was some of the patterns on the paper wasn't clear as to which project it belonged as well as mismatch from the project book illustrations but that was so minor it didn't deter from the overall enjoyment. I would recommend and buy again if I need to entertain small children for some period of time in the future. The kit comes with 3 pieces of paper per project so if you anticipate more children, buy more paper or another kit. Some of the paper patterns are specific for the final complete look so if you have children that are more obsessed with aesthetics, use caution in selecting paper patterns

My son got this for Christmas and loved learning to make origami. The directions are somewhat clear but we often found better directions on YouTube Kids for how to make the creations. He liked the YouTube videos more because he could start and stop while he worked and rewind the video when he got confused. The directions in the book didn’t always allow for this. The paper is high quality too and there is enough for mistakes.

I love it, but it is still confusing for a younger child to do. It still takes adult help, and even more so if your child can't read. The beginning of the book list what folds are "called" in the book, and tells you what the "name" of the fold means. You aren't going to remember this, so mark the first page for easy access to review while you are making. I am not very mechanical at all, but my husband is, and even he is having a hard time. I gave it 3 stars because of this, as it is advertised as "My FIRST" and it clearly isn't for beginners. It comes in a box, beautifully put together, and easy to keep new. The papers in the box are great, and you get two for most things you are doing. So, no, it's not that easy, and if you are a beginner, you should probably find something easier.

The children this was purchased for love it. They are having a blast making new things all the time. There are lots of things to choose from. Very few of the instructions can be a little hard to follow but for the most part they are easy to interpret for a 6 and 8 year old.

I bought this book so that my granddaughter and I can spend fun, creative time together, doing origami!! I’ve always love it as a child, and I know she’s going to have so much fun with it.

Fue un obserquio para mi sobrino, y a pesar de estar en ingles, los diagramas estan muy bien hechos, así que no ha tenido mayor problema.

I love origami, but it wasn't easy to follow - specifically the illustration could be better. The color of the diagram doesnt distinguish between back and front, so the diagram wasn't that helpful until a few steps later when you find that you folded the wrong edge. I love it because it comes with folding papers. Not recommended for non-school children

Great gift for small children interested in creativity

Great gift for kids. Keep them mentally and physically active. The instructions and step by step illustrations are great. However, for younger kids, instructions are not easy to follow, need adults supervision to guide the kids. Value for money too.

This was a fun activity for my grandson and me. The patterned papers added to the interest. He was so proud of his origami zoo.
