Easy Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft)over 30 simple projects

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!

As a beginner to origami I find this book to be clear and easy to follow. The shapes are simple allowing for learning easily.

When I first opened the package and started looking through the book, I noticed that the front page was folded. This doesn’t seem to be an issue with the manufacturer itself, but more likely related to the packaging or shipping process. Aside from that, the paper quality is very nice. The images are clear and fairly descriptive for making origami. I appreciate that the book includes a contents page and an explanation of the symbols used, such as lines and arrows, and what they represent. This makes it much easier to understand the diagrams in each step. The book also includes written instructions in addition to the images, which is very helpful and adds extra clarity, especially for beginners. Overall, it’s a well-made and thoughtfully designed origami book. Pros: • Durable, good-quality paper • Clear diagrams • Includes a contents page • Helpful explanation of symbols and diagrams • Some written instructions included along with visuals Cons: • Front page arrived folded (likely a packaging/shipping issue) • Black-and-white images only (may not appeal to everyone) • There is not written instruction with every step, may make it difficult for those just getting started with origami

Excellent choice for 11 year old interested din origomi.

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.

The book has a lot of examples with easy to follow instructions. So fun! I set it out for the college kids I work with and they had such a good time making their origami items.

wanted one thing, a crane. my fault for not reading that the crane isn’t one of the 32 folds. now i have to find another book to get the instructions ( easier than trying to follow online, which isn’t working for me ) which is too bad because the origami in the book are all clearly shown and easy to follow.

This book has a page explaining the folding symbols which make it easy to follow instructions.
