We cut up magazines into squares!
My daughter is learning origami at age 8 and we checked out every book the library had. This one was the easiest to learn from (though it contained some complicated projects) and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We decided to buy it, and now, even though she has memorized her favorite folds, we have it as a handy, easy-to-follow reference. Plus, it will teach our younger daughter if she becomes interested!
The art of origami began in Japan after monks brought paper from China in the sixth century. Origami continued to maintain its religious and ceremonial character until the 1600s. As paper began to be mass-produced and as it became more affordable, paper folding became a popular recreational activity throughout Japanese culture. Today, origami is popular throughout the world. Easy and complete origami instructions. ')••*'¨`*•.()• Thanks •(
This book is a treasure of origami activities. Among my favorites are the 12-pointed wreath and 8-pointed wreath. Gorgeous gift boxes are included. The masu box, lotus topper, shuttle box and lotus blossom all together to make a magnificent box. These models are not overly complicated. The pictures are all in color and the instructions are clear. You will love this book!
many origami books are either geared towards preschoolers or adults. this book hit a happy medium, my 10yo was challenged but liked the resulting objects
The book was a birthday gift for my granddaughter and she loved it. Early the next morning she was up already learning how to fold things.
One of the better origami books for intermediate beginners. It's easy to follow, but the work is hard enough to keep up interest.
