Origami is just about the perfect kids' craft—it's fun to do, develops hand/eye coordination, fortifies math skills, and requires only paper. Plus, when the animals are as cute as the paper menagerie on display here, how could any child resist? These enchanting projects use a mix of traditional Japanese folk art techniques as well as simple folding, and they're divided into different levels so that every child can enjoy a good challenge...without any frustration. For beginners, the selection includes a dog, fox, cat, bunny, and starfish, while intermediates have a stingray, swan, standing peacock, grasshopper, bear, and pig. The advanced projects feature puppets, a frog that actually jumps, and a diplodocus sure to delight dino fans.
