Easy Origami: Over 30 simple projects! (Dover Origami Papercraft)

Bought it for my 7 years old. The instructions are clear. Variety of models is big and exciting.It is a great book to start with. Got my own child to get involved, and even try some of the models on his own.The big plus is that some of the models are so easy, they can be done without any adult help.The only minus is that it does not come with papers, so had to be purchased separately.Recommend it as a present or just for a fun indoors activity with the children.

A large paperback book; consisting of 47 pages full of mixed designs: ranging from animals: dog/horse/cat/penguin/swan/frog/cicada/butterfly/fox/pig/carp/pigeon/pelican; decorative: house/lantern/boxes/waterbomb/pin wheel/piano/boat/flower/cup/hat/-etc. Truly a 'great' book for teaching people who are complete beginners brand new to discovering, and, learning more about the art of Origami; includes symbol explanations of how to read/follow along the diagrams.The folds start out being really easy; then, become slightly more difficult as one goes along. however, with sufficient time, effort, patience; then, most beginner's will be able to successfully complete most -if not all- of these fairly basic designs.Sincerely, I wish you all very GOOD LUCK; and, also, HAPPY FOLDING! ;-)

If (like me) you've struggled for years to make anything with Origami, this is a good book to get you used to some of the easiest folds and methods in Origami, that will spur you on to trying more complex projects. All of the models in this book are very easy to produce (even for a banana-fingered dad trying to show his child how to make things).Great introduction to origami for young and old .

Nice size

Bought this for my 8 year old grandson but most is too difficult even for me!

I bought this book to teach myself, my 5 year old who has really good fine motor skills and 3.5 year old who'll most likely just eat the paper. I have not sat with them yet to see how interested they are but what I can say is that I have tried a few of the projects myself and, as cack-handed as I am, have found them incredibly easy.I also bought proper origami paper which makes it easier as each side of the paper is a different colour. However, I didn't check the size before buying and they are so small it's like the origami equivalent of bonsai. Tip for all purchasers of this book - buy large origami paper or use newspaper.

Easy (ish!) instructions!! I bought this for a group of children over the summer holidays - a very dexterous and crafty 6 year old was able to complete almost everything in the book; some of the other children needed a little support. Yes, it is VERY basic, but that is exactly what I wanted!

I was talking to my grandson about making origami flapping birds years ago. I'd mislaid the instruction sheet I'd copied from a book in the '70s, so this sounded like a good alternative. Nope. The flapping bird doesn't flap for me. It looks nice....but no movement. So I hunted through my old stuff, found the old instruction sheet and....yep, mine is easier to make and it flaps. So.... I haven't tried anything else in this book. The other things may be great, but.....a bit of a disappointment.

Very good book but a little bit to small, thought it was going to be a lot bigger and more pages. But it’s still good and easy to follow the instructions to the different figures

This is an excellent book for kids 8+ or adults to learn the basics of origami. Unlike other books we've tried, the diagrams are very easy to follow and include text when necessary to clarify what you are supposed to do. We haven't gotten frustrated or lost at all, and have been able to create a lot of great looking finished pieces.The book begins with very simple pieces that require no more than a few folds (cat and dog heads), and then progresses through somewhat complex (but still easy) pieces like boxes and a jumping frog.Do be sure to get yourself some quality origami paper to use along with this book. Paper that has one coloured and one uncoloured side will work best, as a few of the designs make use of this.

全ページモノクロで、折り方を図と僅かな英単語で説明しています。そのためページ数の割に折り方収録数が多いです。鶴の折り方はありません。鶴よりもっと簡単に折れるものばかりで、初めて折り紙を見た外国人でも迷わず折れそうなものばかりです。価格的にも気軽に差し上げられる価格になっていて、外国人に折り紙を紹介するのに最適な本だと思います。

Simple projects, clear instructions and illustrations. Would highly recommend this for beginners on origami.

A mis hijos les encantó, muy útil.
