Japanese Origami for Beginners Kit: 20 Classic Origami Models: Kit with 96-page Origami Book, 72 Origami Papers and Instructional Videos: Great for Kids and Adults!

Pretty paper, nice book, color, good directions. Everything you would need to make several of the designs. I purchased for middle school youth. We had a good time with the kit and everyone was able to complete at least one thing.

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!

History of origami along with easy to difficult folding

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!

This is a great book for people who are just beginning origami. There are some that are definitely difficult but after going through the first 15, you've gotten better and might be ready for the last 5. The pieces of paper are very pretty, there is array of patterns, some have flowers and some do not which is nice since it's a gift for my 12 year old son. He's saving the flower paper to make origami gifts for me and lady family members. I like that the paper is stored in the book but it's not bound in the book, when we eventually get more paper, we can store it in the book again. The history of origami is fun for any history buffs out there. I highly recommend it.

This set comes with a book with explanations and tutorials, a DVD, and a handful of some fairly good quality 6-inch square origami papers with one pattern side and one solid color side. The size of the box belies the content: it is mostly dead-space, supposedly to protect the origami papers better during transit. The origami models offered in the book and DVD vary in skill level from the moderate beginner to the aspiring intermediate-level origamist at best. I do not recommend this for younger people folding their first model.

Great starter kit, 12 year old Granddaughter has spent hours creating.

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.

Muy entretenido

はやはり高々とそびえ立ってくれました。折り紙の本なら…と甘く考えたけれど無謀でした。

Can buy

the recipient liked the gift

I bought 3 of these for my girls for Christmas, ages 11 - 13. It was a HIT!!! They spent ALL DAY with the paper and books. I'm not sure if anyone ever put the DVD on to get better instructions on the more complicated projects, but it was great for them to unplug and focus on doing something away from electronics! I think it's a really fair value for the price and contents.
