Origami is a great first craft for young children to try alone--it only requires paper and doesn't use any sharp objects or messy materials--and with Easy Origami for Kids, children can learn how to make all sorts of origami models, from amazing animals and things that fly to dazzling decorations and gorgeous gifts. All the projects are broken down into clear, illustrated steps, demonstrating every fold, and there are helpful arrows showing which way to fold the paper. There are also skill ratings for each project, so children can start with an easy project and then move on to something a bit more challenging as their origami skills improve, until they are easily impressing friends with their paper-folding creations.
