My First Origami Book: 35 fun papercrafting projects for children aged 7 years +
Description
With origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, you can turn ordinary pieces of paper into animals, decorations, toys and more – and this book teaches you how, as well as other ways of using paper creatively. There are five chapters, all packed full of ideas. Begin with Amazing Animals, from Freddie the hopping frog and a herd of cows to penguins and whales. In Flying Fun, find out how to make the classic paper airplane, plus other things that will fly, such as a helicopter and a heart kite. Top Toys shows you how to transform paper into a hat, a balloon and even a fortune teller. Make your bedroom beautiful with Dazzling Decorations – what about Christmas crackers for the holidays or some pretty paper flowers? Finally, use your newfound paper skills to create some Gorgeous Gifts and Cards – including a lovely Easter basket and a cute Russian doll card. All the projects have instructions and adorable artworks that are easy to follow, and each one has a grade, so that you can start with the easiest projects and, as your origami skills improve, move onto the more challenging ones.

Great book for beginners
This is a great book for beginners. I chose this book for my Grandaughter after reading the reviews on it,and they weren't wrong. A lovely book , which I felt was just right for a seven year old. There are some lovely things to make.

Super ideas
This was on my friends wishlist for her son as b/day pressie idea. Ordered it for him (age 7) and had quick flick through before wrapping it. Some lovely ideas in th book, perfect for busy kids who like to make and create. So nice my own son has expressed an interest in his own copy for his b/day

... a copy from the library and it was so good we got our own copy
We bought this book as we borrowed a copy from the library and it was so good we got our own copy. The projects are really fun and not too hard

Good book, but about 1/3 is papercrafts not origami.
My 6 year old son and 11 year old niece have spent ages with this book, and enjoyed making the simple origami pieces. My only grumble is that I was expecting it to be pure origami paper folding, when in fact quite a lot of the projects require glue, and scissors. About one third of the projects aren't origami at all, and I would call them card making or papercrafts. It was a bit disappointing, but an okay starter book.

My first Origami Book
I bought this for myself even though I'm in my fifties, as I wanted to learn a new hobby. It is a really good starting point and the models are fun to make. My grandchildren love them, the models are small enough to put in an envelope and post to them. Very good!

Great book for kids!
I ordered two of these, one for me for when little friends are here to visit, and a book for a friend with grandchildren to like arts and crafts. This was a big hit with her kids as well as mine! The cutest patterns for things to make. Just love it! Simple enough for the older children (ages 7-13) to teach the younger children!

Not as much origami as anticipated

Great book
I am experienced with paper folding and reading origami instructions. Nevertheless, I think it is clear for beginners. The projects are fun. Remember it takes practice! Just keep folding a refolding until your hands "get it". Great price at Amazon.
