I've been doing origami for a number of years for children in a Pediatric care unit at a local hospital and I must say this book isnn't all that user-friendly. I attempted to do the giraffe first. The instructions were not step-by-step at all! Then I attempted the crown. All the flipping over and folding is very confusing to say the least and it didn't seem to come our at all like the model diagrams displayed. I am very diappointed with this book so far and would likely not recommend it to children because it is difficult even for adult who have had origami experience. Perhaps if the authors included a DVD that showed the steps live, it might be more manageable.Jerry K. Hatfield
I consider myself to be an intelligent person capable of tackling difficult tasks, but this book is anything but user friendly- especially for children. I am very dissappointed with the so called 'easy to follow, step by step instructions'. This is a difficult book for adults to follow, much less letting a child try to tackle these projects. The instructions need to be more detailed, with more pictures that actually show step by step how it is folded. Instead, the pictures don't show every step, leaving one to guess on a lot of the folds, and how they got from one picture to the next. I would never recommend this book, especially for children.
i bought this book to try some simple origami projects with my son, and ended up just getting really frustrated. origami is not new to me, but these instructions which appear to be simple step by step instructions at first, leave out steps, throw in odd terminology like "mountain fold" and "valley fold" out of the middle of nowhere. the only thing that makes the ones rated more difficult such is the lack of clarity. grrrrr is what i say. i would never recommend this book.
This is, by far, the *worst* origami book we have in our collection of five books. I think just one piece, the fish, worked as per instructions.The directions do not match the pictures and I suspect the English is, although grammatically faultless, wrong (eg push out when indicating a reverse fold). I would not recommend for children or adults unless you like spending a frustrating Sunday afternoon trying to figure out what the authors really meant.
Origami for Children is a beautiful book with lovely ideas for origami. I envisioned hours of folding pleasure with a very artistic 7 year old, who loves making pop ups and other crafts. But his fingers are not adept enough to fold the intermediate items and the simplest ones aren't interesting enough for him. The book should state from what age the demonstrations are geared to. Did I miss something? Still,even I could not do some of the intermediate projects and I've been doing crafts a long long time.
We have never tried origami and I found this in my Family Fun magazine as a great first book to try and they were right! I bought this book for my 6 year old daughter and she has enjoyed creating some of the simpler designs. The photos of each step are easy to follow. I have found myself sitting with the book while the kids are sleeping! I recommend buying a lot of paper because you won't be able to stop!Enjoy
The simplest patterns are fine and fairly well demonstrated. The medium and more advanced ones however are not step by step. Many steps are missing and you go from a picture of one step to the next picture being in a completely different position and orientation of the paper. You are left wondering "how did we get from there to here..?" You just have to kind of guess and figure it out. Some of patterns I can't figure out, and my children lost interest in it long ago. I am now giving up on this book and will be looking for a book with more detailed step by step instructions.
My husband spotted this terrific book and said we should get it for my grandson. So I looked at it and had to agree. My 8-year-old grandson was thrilled to receive it, and right away he started making all the projects in it. I highly recommend this book.
