Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-6 Children and art teachers will be delighted with Easy Origami . The title says it allit is indeed easy. The directions are simple and direct, and the projects range from easy to complex. The diagrams are helpful and complement the written instructions well. Students in grades four to six could use the book independently, while those in grades two and three could follow the directions with assistance. A short history of this ancient Japanese craft of decorative paper folding is included. Elizabeth Timmons, Fort Worth Independent School District, Tex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Kids!, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Easy Origami (Reading Rainbow Books) (Paperback)
My child was doing a report on origami. I decided to get her this book, and she absolutely loved it. It even contained history, where she could take notes on it and write an A+ report. If you're a beginner at origami, and you would like to learn so much, I would highly recommend this detailed and easy-to-follow book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Easy, January 6, 2009
This review is from: Easy Origami (Reading Rainbow Books) (Paperback)
My son was 8 years old when I purchased this for him and he had no difficulty creating the origami. There was an occasional hiccup, as they weren't made for babies, but other than that, I had cute little leaping frogs, cranes, boxes, and all kinds of stuff all over the house for weeks. Kids do enjoy this art and it gives them something to expand their mind.
