Melissa & Doug On-the-Go Origami Animals Craft Activity Set - 38 Stickers, 40 Origami Papers, & Step-by-Step Instructions

Amazon Customer: I bought these to occupy my grandchildren on a flight and they loved them. They were easy to use, no cutting, and the fold lines made them easy to make

Tom: I bought several "plane toys and games" for a 6 hour cross-country flight, and this was the clear winner both ways. It kept a 4yo entertained- loved the animals, great quality. One minor "complaint" is that some of the origami require scissors to complete- would have been nice to know, and, as it is advertised as a travel game, clearly scissors are a no-no on the plane. Not a big deal, but company might want to rethink some of the origami selection, or advertise differently. As said, minor point. We loved it!

CML: I love that this book comes with written and visual instructions as well as the origami paper. The easy level crafts may require occasional adult assistance but the origami paper has lines that can be used as a guide. The intermediate and expert crafts were very challenging to complete for my upper elementary students. Even I had a difficult time to follow the instructions on the some of the more challenging designs. This is a great activity but definitely not something that younger children will be able to do on their own.

T: I gave a set to each of my twin 7 year-old grandsons. They had never done origami before but had no trouble following the illustrated instructions and spent several hours, without help, making origami animals. The folding lines on the paper are part of what makes it so easy to do for a beginner. The paper is heavy duty but folds nicely and the designs are bright and colorful and add to a child's enjoyment of what they've created. I've just ordered two more sets for another set of grandchildren.

Georgia: I purchased this to take with me when I visit my nieces and nephews aged between 4 - 8. I liked and chose this one because these pictures and directions seemed easy to follow. If it not readable for children, it's not much fun. The sheets of paper are for particular animals and have the fold lines already on them. It also has options for beginners, intermediate & advanced (although all designed for children). Another thing I really appreciated was having more than one of each animal which avoided fighting as to who got what. My 7 year old nephew asked me where I got it so he can purchase his own with his pocket money. Highly recommend.

Bettina: My son has really enjoyed this. We did find that some of the instructions were a bit vague but, with the help of the printed paper and the pictures, we were able to figure it out. The stickers were a lot of fun.

jeanette: i sometimes carry origami papers in my pocket or purse to fold mainly into classic cranes for just the routine of it &/or to place on tips at restaurants or to distract lively kids or thank well-behaved kids at nearby tables. i find some are intrigued & ask for suggestions to get started. this is a great starter suggestion or gift. i find the instructions to be clear & the results to be cute & fun. amazon's product description & pictures & other customer pictures are adequate, so i won't detail further. i will add that "everything needed" & "includes everything you need..." are stated variously, but scissors are required for four of the designs - not included. (incidentally, the use of scissors with activity described as origami is heresy to some ... my feathers remain unruffled)

L. G.: I got this for my 9 year old daughter after she had fun doing some origami animals at a youth activity. There are pre-colored papers for animals in three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. She was able to do all the beginner animals easily and was able to figure out the intermediate ones with a little effort. I think she has one or two of the advanced ones that she hasn't completely figured out yet, but I'm sure she'll get it with a little more work. The papers also come with stickers to use as embellishments (a nose for a dog, water spray for a whale, antennae for a snail, etc.) that add another level of cuteness to the finished product. There are lines on the papers and directions in the packet to show how to make each animal, and it's a nice beginning set for children who want to do origami without starting from a blank white sheet of paper. I would definitely get this set again.
