5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 year old son loves the origami treats!, March 22, 2001

There is a variety of origami "things" to choose from. I'm no origami expert, but I can build these. There are birds that flap their wings, and a frog that "jumps". And there are even a couple of paper airplanes that are cool. They fly better than any paper airplanes I've ever seen. This is a nice activity for a parent to share with a small child. I let him pick an origami toy, he watches me make it, then we play with it together. I comes with some origami paper (at least mine did) in a pocket at the back of the book. Great family fun!

this was the first origami book I had. It is great for people beginning because it has very easy crafts to some harder crafts to challenge beginners. I wouldn't though recomend this to experienced folders and it uses some kirogami techniques in the models so watch out.
