About this title

Synopsis

Bring the folding fun with you wherever you go!

This adorable, pocket size kit features 7 models that are perfect for origami beginners. Don't let its small size fool you—Pocket Size Origami Fun Kit comes complete with everything you need to get started:

• A full-color instruction booklet with an introduction to folding techniques
• Simple step-by-step instructions
• 12 sheets of colorfully-patterned, single-sided folding paper

The origami projects included in this kit are:

• Blow-up "Balloon" Cube—an impressive cubical form that looks more difficult to fold than it actually is…a puff of air makes it inflate!
• Jumping Frog—a delightfully playful action model, just press its back and watch it spring
• Classic Crane—the model you see everywhere: in movies, ads and on television…now you can add it to your repertoire!
• Butterfly—a charmingly realistic model that will add a touch of elegance to any gift, desktop or wall
• Masu Box—a classic functional model that can be used to store small items. Fold up two and use the second one as a lid
• Pinwheel—create a whirling pinwheel that can rotate with the breeze at the end of a dowel or pencil
• Fur Seal—author Michael G. LaFosse is famous for his lifelike wildlife models, and this handsome paper seal is no exception
