I wanted to find a way to introduce origami to my kids, who are 8, 7, and 4. My oldest has some motor planning issues, and I thought this would be a nice way to help him work on those while doing something fun. This kit is perfect for younger or special needs origami enthusiasts. Each collage comes with a nice, large background and papers of various sizes to make the individual pieces. Each paper is premarked with numbers and dotted lines to help you know exactly where to fold. The collage style makes doing origami into more of a permanent project, for those of us who would prefer not to have coffee tables and desks cluttered with various origami animals. This is a great product, and if a "sequel" is made, I'll be first in line to buy it!
I haven't open the product yet, so I don't have a true rating. But I wanted to comment on this as I was surprised when I received this product to find that one of the six scenes is a Christmas tree. There is no indication that there is anything religious in this kit on this page. We bought this for a birthday gift for someone who does not celebrate Christmas. I wish they made the religious theme clear on the landing page so people are not surprised upon receiving it.
Nice variety and really cute designs. Easy to learn.
