Very good learning tool February 17, 2010
K. Maunder (ORTONVILLE, MI, US)
My seven year old girl was folding birds in about an hour all by herself. She modified the designs to make different types of birds. The directions were explained well, and the folds were simple enough to easily understand, yet still looked like the animals we folded. Purchase for kids who would enjoy folding.

I recieved an incomplete order and tried three times to contact the seller and got an automatic response asking for the order number which I sent each time and never got another response about. I contacted Amazon about this and never heard back after thier automatic answer either. I will go back to [...] where I get help when there is a problem.
I am very unhappy to have purchased an item that was missing a good part of what I thought I had purchased and even more unhappy to be ignored.
I am not sure I will ever purchase from Amazon again now that I know they really do not care about customer satisfaction.
Helps beginners learn, but not all the designs are beginner level November 30, 2009

I bought this kit having never done origami before in my life. I wanted to learn, so I figured a beginners' kit would be the place to start. This kit comes with three books and a pack of paper. The paper is great - lots of colors, and plenty of sheets - and the "Easy Origami" book that is inside was definitely helpful for learning, although it takes some experimentation as it lacks photos of exactly what some of the folds are. The other two books that come in the kit are Origami Animals and Origami Birds; I found these designs quite challenging for a true beginner. I was only able to complete about three of the birds before I was in over my head (and the folds started getting so tiny I wasn't able to continue making them neatly); I didn't even try any of the animals once I looked over the designs.
Overall, I would say this is a good kit for beginners, I just wish that they had included books with a better curve for difficulty of designs, rather than going from "easily done by beginners" to "whoa, this is hard!"
Paper folding, Pass it on! September 27, 2009

I have always liked Origami, and I purchased this set to share that art & hobby with my nieces. I like this set and that it comes with a selection of papers to use for folding the various shapes. This includes regular paper in a rainbow of different colors, regular paper with a sort of "kaleidoscope" pattern in several color combinations, and a few different colors of metallic (foil on one side) paper. There are about four (4) sheets of each paper.
There are a couple of things I want to share with anyone looking to purchase this item. First, be sure that you take a look at what books are included in this set. When I ordered this set I also ordered another book called "Easy Origami". If I had checked I might have seen that this set already includes that book, but I just gave the extra copy to my sister to take home. Also they call this set "Origami for Beginners", however the other two books "Birds in Origami" and "Favorite Animals in Origami" would actually be more for intermediate paper folders, in my opinion. As I said, I like this set, but that's just something to be aware of if you plan to purchase this.
 Fun! My daughter loves it! May 13, 2009

I bought this as an introduction to Origami for my 10 year old daughter. She loves it, and I highly recommend it as a starter kit.
