Product Description

Djeco Origami Animals -- 12 pc.A variation on the Japanese art of paper folding, this kit contains 12 papers -- 6 with pre-printed eyes and faces and 6 without - and 3 sheets of stickers for decorating. Lines on papers show where to fold. It's very easy to get great results. Djeco Design By Art and Craft kits are designed by fine artists and illustrators. Each kit has an instruction booklet that has an image of one of the finished pieces from the kit and a self-portrait of the artist who designed the kit. This puts a face of the artist to the kit so the child can imagine more of what the artist looks like. The kits also include examples of the original works that the artist has done and a visual guide showing how to make the pieces as if the artist is telling the child, "OK, now that we've met and you've seen my work, let's do some together." The back cover of the instructions has images of all four of the pieces in the kit when finished. Product Dimensions (inches): 8 (L) x 8 (W)Age: 4 to 10 years

This review is from: Origami Animals (Toy)

Traditional origami can be difficult for young children, and I've seen many become frustrated or lose interest with it. This set is wisely designed with simple folds, dotted rules and pre-printed animal faces. I worked on this with my 5-year-old, who especially liked the blank faces onto which she could place facial-feature stickers. My 8-year-old was able to work independently and was quite engaged with it. This would make an excellent present for children in kindergarten and 1st grade. I'll be stocking up.

This review is from: Origami Animals (Toy)

I bought these for my 5 year old son that I am homeschooling this year. I had read that origami can be good for strengthening spatial learning and thought this would be good introduction to this art form. There are 6 different animal faces. Each animal has 2 papers with the face printed on it and 2 papers with just the basics of the face allowing places for the stickers to be placed for eyes, mouth, nose, whiskers, etc. Each paper sheet has dotted lines along each fold. My son just did his first two papers (1 cat paper with the printed face & then 1 cat paper without the printed face) and was so excited to finish them! There is a little booklet included that is an excellent pictorial guide to showing how each step is done! There was some frustration on my son's part with folding some of the lines but I expected this since it is a new skill. I am very pleased with this product and find it to be the perfect start to learning origami!
