Hawaiian Sea Life Origami: A Beginner's Step-By-Step Guide

By Laurie Ide

Origami, the art of Japanese paper folding, is not just reserved for dainty and graceful things?like the cranes you see at Japanese weddings, and the hearts and stars that are almost too small and delicate to pick up. Squid, killer whales, and box jellyfish can be just as impressive when folded out of paper. In ?Hawaiian Sea Life Origami, A Beginner?s Step-by-Step Guide,? Laurie Ide and her daughter Karley teach people of all ages how to make 36 of the fascinating and beautiful creatures that inhabit our Hawaiian waters. There?s the honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle), the puhi paka (giant moray), and, for the future fishermen in the family, the mighty ulua (black trevally). Mom and Karley demonstrate each step using color photographs and easy-to-follow directions. The wire binding allows the book to lie flat while kids practice folding the animals. Each animal?s name is listed in English and Hawaiian. The designs are impressive, yet simple enough for the young ones. What?s even better is that each one was created by Karley herself!
