hapray Origami Kit for Kids Ages 5-8 8-12, with Guiding Book, 152 Paper with 72 Patterns, DIY Art and Craft Projects, Beginners Children's Day Gift Boy Girl

This origami set is perfect for kids you want to keep away from screens. It's lightweight and makes a great birthday gift. I liked it so much that I bought several and keep them stored, waiting for someone’s birthday. That way, I don’t have to rush every time there’s a celebration — the gift is already in the drawer! Since it doesn’t take up much space, it’s ideal to have on hand. Plus, it offers hours of healthy, screen-free entertainment.

My homeschool kids enjoy this art project

I bought this as the birthday gift for my 8 years old. All origami papers are nice printed with designs and pattern (faces, details etc.), however the folding lines are not accurate. If you fold along with the design, you will not get an even folding; if you do even folding, some of the design may get cut off (the printed cartoon face is not center). The instruction seems to be difficult for the younger ones to understand. Even my husband and I, had origami experience before, were confused with some of the directions. Yet some foldings are fairly easy with 4 steps that a 5 years old can follow.Pros:- very cute printed details- clear numbering reference at the back of each paper, referring to the pages of the instruction- giftable- includes very simply and easy folding items (cats, houses)Cons:- some folding instructions are not clear enough, kids will have a hard time to figure on their own- inaccurate printing on the folding lines/design (causing uneven folding)

Very happy the young lady I purchased it for loves it

I purchased this for my boys as we had a long drive for vacation. This kept them company for hours! My boys are 8 and 10, and we’re both able to complete these independently. It’s nice and compact and can fit easily in bag for travel. They pulled them out many times at restaurants to keep them busy while waiting for food too!

My 6 year old can di this on his own. Easy instructions and lines help him. I showed him a couple, and he took it from there.

As a beginning origami learner, I purchased this "kid" kit in hopes of learning basic folds, then expanding from the simpler projects. I had already made a few Orgami projects prior to purchasing this kit. (boxes, etc). When my kit arrived I immediately began making each project in the booklet but quickly struggled trying to read the diagrams as I progressed into other projects. Think what is confusing for me are some of the diagrams, basics in the beginning of the booklet are a solid color diagram, making it look like it should be 3D when folding. Just not what I think as beginning instructions. I learned my first Origami basics using the creases as guidelines, folding into the crease for precise folds. I find "fold in half" easier to understand than struggling to read the dotted lines and arrows in the diagrams against solid colors and folds. I also expected a thicker paper but as a beginning package for kids, not a big deal. I have in fact already ordered another kit in hopes it will be include better instructions.

This is a great project to get the kids off screen time. You do have to be talented at paper folding. Some of the directions were a little hard to follow, but overall was a great gift.
