Easy Origami [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

Great for the beginner

The media could not be loaded.  Easy to follow, I mainly used the one page patterns. It does take a little imagination and creativity for several patterns when folding. I used the origami created and those I refolded into other similar animals for A Seasonal Origami Potpurri Tree. I would only recommend this book for several creations easy to follow without much imagination or confusion. The tulip well, didn’t work out as illustrated. The birds are lovely, with the pelican alone the book regains indispensable value. The pelican easily mastered and well illustrated you can create other birds even a peacock and duck. The water bomb is quite easy to make and the lantern can also be refolded into a shirt or blouse or turtle neck. The dog can also be shaped into a reindeer or bull. You will get value from this Origami Book, the price is excellent. With animal origami also consider that a cat or dog looks like many animals so be creative and take your time enjoying the sport of Origami.

I bought this for an eating disorder clinic I was staying at. I am a seasoned origami folder and have been doing it since I was seven, so I wanted to share some happiness within the unit. Everyone loved learning all the different designs and appreciated the color it brought to the hospital.

My origami skills are rusty, but it is something that I used to do. Then stuff happens, as stuff does, and here I am several years later wondering how to refresh my memory. The moment I decided I was too good for this book is the moment I knew I had to start here.The dog, the rabbit, the tulip and stem... none of this is new to me. Simple projects, for children. And yet it's a great introduction and a fantastic refresher, with uncluttered shaded line drawings that turned out to be much easier to follow than photos. The old folds that used to be so easy flew off the page and back into my brain. And when I started getting new, more advanced books and digging out my old books, I realized that sometimes I'd come across a way of doing things in the "grown-up" books that was executed more simply, more efficiently, and more elegantly in this book. I've been looking back to this book to find better ways of accomplishing something, and applying those ways to more advanced projects in other books.And when it's four in the morning and I can't sleep, I'm not worrying over kusudama or hexaflexagons, I'm grabbing this book and playing with the frog or the boat designs to see what else I can do with them (or how badly I can mess them up.)The instructions are arrows and dotted and dashed lines, and single words or short phrases. I wish commonly used origami terminology was used a bit more in this book, instead of learning how to do the folds and remembering (or finding out) what they're called later. But the information is available in so many places it's not a huge loss here.Get this book for the kids, but when they go to bed, steal some of their paper and start with this book. It's a clear and painless introduction.

Gave this to my 9 year old Grandson who is autistic to try out and the instructions were perfect and he makes all kinds of things and experiencing pride and accomplishment in his projects.

Purchased this for my 10 year old daughter and she loves doing origami so much! She brings this book to school and all of her friends make things together.

Some of these are hard to follow. Some are impossible. We’ll be switching to video options.

This book was perfect for my 9 year old who is new to origami.

Simple enough models for kids to handle.My son (8) loves it and made all of the models in the book.

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

El libro viene con los pasos a seguir para hacer las figuras, lo único malo es que está en inglés aunque siguiendo los pasos no debería haber problema. Para niños de menos de 6 años no lo recomiendo ya que requiere de cierta atención para realizar las figuras. Son pocas las figuras que se pueden hacer, pero en general es bonito libro.

Bought this as a gift for my 8 year old nephew. (He wanted to try origami and was given a kit, but the directions were condensed, and not easy to follow, so frustrating.) This book was quite easy for him, and he was getting through 100 sheets of paper quite quickly, with a big smile.

Leuk origami boek voor mijn 5 jaar oud dochter
