Great self-contained Oragami kit

We got this book for our 8 year old sons for an upcoming trip. We wanted something that could withstand lots of abuse in their backpacks over long plane and bus rides. This does the trick. The book and oragami paper come in a box so the paperback book and paper are well-protected. The box is square, and about 6 inches by 6 inches. The book has very detailed instructions for about 40 different Oragami creations. They vary from easy to difficult. It also comes with about 150 pieces of oragami paper in a variety of colors and a handful of patterns. I completely recommend it!

Good, but lacking in some areas

Overall I would have to say that this kit is OK. It is a good beginners kit. The printed and metallic paper is neat, but this paper is not very user-friendly. I prefer other brands. As for the book, it contains some great ideas, and the diagrams are, for the most part, easy to use. However; there is very little consistency to the written instructions; it seems like they sometimes skip a few steps where there should be more guidance, and add in extra, unnecessary instructions in other places. And a lot of the projects involve scissors, which I personally do not like. Overall, it is a good practice kit for the price for the beginner.

Excellent quiet time activity

This is a great value getting a good origami book (the instructions are good and the book itself is not flimsy) and a lot of paper to get started with. Enjoyed by all ages. Even used this with children with difficulty sitting down and attending to task (ADHD) and it's fun and they surprised me being able to sit still. Great for rainy day or keeping busy when you need to have quiet time. Family fun!

Origami!

My grandson Garrett asked for an origami kit for Christmas. As a grammy it is my job to make sure his every wish comes true! I researched to find the best kit I could find for a nine year old boy. This kit was highly recommended and it was a big hit. Now there are little folded up pieces of colored paper everywhere! Everywhere! Everywhere!

Origami Extravaganza

Simple and easy to understand diagrams make this the perfect origami beginner's book. The addition of an abundance of origami squares in a range of different colors plus a load of two different patterned squares sets an origami novice up for folding for quite a while. I highly recommend this book to the new origami folder.
