These dolls aren't for someone who is in a hurry. I made 30 dolls for our school project. They turned out very elegant. There is some glueing involved and one of my packages was missing some of the doll hair. In my opinion, there isn't enough doll hair anyway. The colors of origami paper are very pretty and varied. The instructions are lacking a bit but it wasn't too difficult to figure out what was needed. I guess you could say I had to improvise.

This review is from: Japanese Origami Paper Doll Making Kit- Make 8 Dolls!

The dolls are really cute. I must say I was a bit disappointed. Very nice box, and when you open it, you have a pack of paper/hair to make the dolls and black and white folded instructions. I was expecting a nice little color booklet for the instructions (for future reference & use). The box certainly is over rated to the actual contents. I think I paid more for the box than the contents. The amount of papers you get to make these dolls are definitely not worth what you pay for this kit. I can buy a 20 or 25 pack of origami paper at Walmart for $5-$6. Overall this kit is okay.

I agree with others who have commented on the size of the box, compared to actual contents. And the instructions are not great, requiring a little improvisation along the way. Plus younger children would struggle with following the instructions, I think.

However, the dolls are lovely once they are done. The paper is beautiful and richly colored. The final product is well worth the questions and head-scratching.
