I love this kit: in a big box, you have a 80 pages booklet, a 90 minutes DVD and sheets.You have traditional designs like: penguin, sailboat, tabletop racing duck, baloon, bunny rabbit.Or designs from traditional design elements or variation: tulip plant with blossom, fortune cookies box.But also designs by Florence Temko (heart); Michael G. LaFosse (owl bookmark, bookmark/stacked over logan, Freddie the jumping astrofrog, art deco wing, fox mask, scary skull); Samuel Randlett(Randlett's flapping bird); Akira Yoshizawa (Yoshizawa's swallowtail butterfly); Richard L. Alexander (fiesta box, Kanji the dog).One with a rhytming story-gami by Richard L. Alexander: art deco wing.Many of the story-gamis are written by Michael G. LaFosse.Tabletop racing duck, ballon, bunny rabbit, Yoshizawa's swallowtail butterfly, scary skull and owl bookmarkare written also by Richard L. Alexander.Freddie the jumping astrofrog, fiesta box, Kanji the dog and fox mask are written only by Richard L. Alexander.I love the stories.The sheets aren't true squares and if you want to use them with another designs, it will be difficult becausethe sheets aren't enought thin.
Love this idea! I"v already read most of the stories and cannot wait to start sharing with children. I ordered the Kindle version but I couldn't figure out how to download the video. So I bought a hard copy .
I purchased this to help me teach preschoolers to fold origami - an age that is generally too young to follow the usual directions on how to fold origami. By telling the story with it, the children stay engaged and are able to create an origami sculpture with very little assistance. Love, love, love it!
Purchased this to use as a filler for our art camp. The kids loved it. It has easy to read and understand instructions with great illustrations and photos. Various projects range for the young child to those who are older.
Michael LaFosse is a fabulous teacher who makes origami fun and successful for all learners. His Story gami stories engage the children while they fold and help them achieve a real sense of satisfaction with their finished projects. I have been very lucky to have Michael teach in my classroom for the last nine years and seen Story gami enchant and engage every student.
