Fun activity
My daughter is 4 and doesnt have the dexterity to do origami well. I walk her through steps, we both get the steps wrong, we laugh and our cranes look like flightless birds ๐...but its a fun time and when she's 5 or 6, with better hand control, she will appreciate it more im sure.

We have about 80 kids and about half of them are learning to do origami right now. These have been so helpful to them! They love the colors and how easy it is to fold. The paper seems to last a long time, and all the books are perfect for helping them to learn. I think that this was a great find, and a great price!

Very nice book for beginners
The book contains instructions quite easy to understand and follow. The high quality, double-sided paper is beautiful and a great choice for these projects. How special would some of these design be, such as the kimono, samurai helmet, and the "Realistic Butterfly," pasted on card stock and sent to family and friends? I got the idea from watching a program featuring artists and crafters around the country using their talents and skills in creating lovely projects. One of them made his own cards using the Yuzu Washi and Chiyogami paper designs. They were so beautiful and creative! Tuttle Publishing (the publisher of this kit) offers elegant origami paper, high quality, double-sided, Washi and Chiyogami designs (6" square) at $12.99 for 500 sheets each. They offer these in the 4" square as well. They also offer a host of other paper designs and sizes. Hard to beat!

Fun had by many!
I bought this kit to learn how to make cranes for my visiting adult daughterโs upcoming milestone celebration at our family cottages. Weโd postponed our vacation for a year, due to Covid. The box and papers were beautiful, and the book was comprehensive and ordered by level of difficulty. The cranes were midway in difficulty. My thinking had been, ok, I want to make 100 cranes for her party. But in 2 weeks Iโd managed to make 5. And the 5th was the worst. I used to be good at this stuff. The book in the kit was good, but it takes a while to understand the nomenclature, and I kept forgetting. Iโd taken the kit down to make more on site. Her friend saw my struggles and volunteered to help. I gave her the kit to take back to their cottage. Imagine my delight when my daughter returned with an origami desk sheโd made for ME. Theyโd had so much fun with the kit that she took it back to Boulder with her! Everything in this kit was a hit.

Not really for beginners.
There's a lot of information, but not enough explanation of the more complicated folds. The accompanying videos are helpful, but sometimes don't match the diagrams in the book, which is confusing. All in all, expect some frustration if you have no previous experience with origami.
