Classic Origami Kit

The idea of an all-in-one kit appealed to me. I'm no kid (age 70), just looking for something relaxing to try. First the paper. It is advertised as "premium." It is heavy and coated. I found it difficult to work with, although the designs are quite pretty. The major downfall: The directions. Between the text and the images, the only item I was able to make was the Box. Forget even attempting the Crane! And, for the record, not all are "classic" in that one figure, or model, requires the use of scissors. Not classic origami. If you have had some experience in folding models, then this is a nice, compact kit. But I do not recommend it for beginners.

Not a bad purchase. I got this on sale and used it as a stocking stuffer, which worked perfectly because it helped take up room! It came with several bright colorful pieces of paper but it really only comes with instructions that have a few designs. They were also instructions that were just printed on a white piece of paper, kind of like when you get instructions for how to put something together, so it took alot of effort on my part to get my Step Daughter into it because the images didn't catch her eye. Overall if you want something to really teach you origami I'd spend extra money to buy a book with better pictures and more designs but if you're just looking for a cheap gift, this isnt bad!!

As someone who is not familiar with origami, I found the instructions fairly hard to follow. Definitely had to do lots of trial and error to get the shapes shown in the pictures...the boat and crane were the most doable, completely gave up on the flower. Bought this as something for my husband and I to do on a weeknight instead of watching tv, it entertained us for the evening, but mostly involved us getting frustrated and then laughing at how terrible our “creations” were. Was cheap enough that I don’t regret buying it but can’t say I recommend it.

Perfect for your 7-12 year olds. My 4th grade boys really enjoyed the challenging shapes. Once they understood the importance of being careful to make precise folds, they wanted to do more. The girls enjoyed a few the projects, too, but the boys seemed to enjoy it a bit more.

This item is very small and thin -- something you would easily find at the Dollar Tree. Very disappointed.

Paper is good quality. Disappointed at the “booklet” it’s more like instructions sheet. They are easy to follow with cute designs.

bought this for my 6 year old daughter, She loved it. I had to help her with a lot of the folds but it was a fun activity to do together.

The directions for how to do the origami is awful and frustrating. The paper is cute

Very good for concentration & distraction, very fiddly but that’s the challenge of Origami ‼️

Very easy

Loved all the projects in the kit. Especially the crane and the flower. Very detailed projects and easy to follow instructions. Great kit for beginners but not too easy. Recommended.

instruction very hard to follow. I have had it for 2 months now and still can't get the 3 fold on crane.

ok for what you pay , not as detailed as i expected
