Great toy

We are now obsessed great thick paper easy for kids great value

This is a great project to get the kids off screen time. You do have to be talented at paper folding. Some of the directions were a little hard to follow, but overall was a great gift.

Gift for 8 y.o. who didn't know what it was. She has enjoyed it and picks up on her own to do. Some were a little difficult but made her think and figure out. Instruction booklet was usually clear. Paper was decent quality with nice color. Good, small gift that requires some thinking, following instructions, dealing with a little frustration, pride when figuring out! Enjoyed setting up little scenes with the animals and other creations. There are a lot of them - origami everywhere.

Variety of styles and excellent quality

My 6 year old can di this on his own. Easy instructions and lines help him. I showed him a couple, and he took it from there.

As a beginning origami learner, I purchased this "kid" kit in hopes of learning basic folds, then expanding from the simpler projects. I had already made a few Orgami projects prior to purchasing this kit. (boxes, etc). When my kit arrived I immediately began making each project in the booklet but quickly struggled trying to read the diagrams as I progressed into other projects. Think what is confusing for me are some of the diagrams, basics in the beginning of the booklet are a solid color diagram, making it look like it should be 3D when folding. Just not what I think as beginning instructions. I learned my first Origami basics using the creases as guidelines, folding into the crease for precise folds. I find "fold in half" easier to understand than struggling to read the dotted lines and arrows in the diagrams against solid colors and folds. I also expected a thicker paper but as a beginning package for kids, not a big deal. I have in fact already ordered another kit in hopes it will be include better instructions.

My kids love these! Such a nice little kit to keep them busy off screens on a day at home!
