5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids!, September 29, 2003

By A Customer

I bought this book for my 10-year-old daughter, and she loved it. The directions are clear, and the projects are easy, fun, and even useful: an airplane, secret letter, penguin, star box, blow-up bunny, picture frame, parrot, hopping frog, seal, and magic star. Like all Klutz books, it's sturdy and visually appealing. I only wish they had more projects to keep my daughter busy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Origami Book for Kids (or the less-coordinated!), March 28, 2007

By	C. Kappaz (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was assigned the task of teaching 2nd graders an origami project, which seemed reasonable...until I tried folding one piece of paper into something recognizable myself! I had several origami books to reference and this one was hands down the best. The instructions and pictures were clear and easy to read, using simple terms (not the "official origami terms," or whatever, that the other books used that I had to continually Google to somewhat understand). It also has a lot of great projects that appeal to kids of all ages. A great learning tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids AND adults!, December 29, 2006

By	Sheri (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to help me entertain children at a large family gathering. The diagrams and directions are, indeed, clear enough for any klutz.
The 10-year-olds mastered the frog and other projects very quickly. Younger children needed more help, but their successful jumping frogs delighted them, and they were eager to try again.
I gave the book away to entertain a child on the long ride home, and now I miss it and have ordered another for myself!
