My childhood source of entertainment!

I enjoyed making gifts for people when I was younger and this book was an excellent source of inspiration.

Dutch edition:

Paul Jackson did an A+ job gathering several easy to master origami projects for this book. There are 37 in all, some of them are traditional and well-known projects, like the jumping frog, the butterfly and the star-shaped box. Some of them are by his own design, like the elephant, bird and a pig.

Angela A'Court's part of the book has some nice projects and tips, but mostly repeats the same 10 base projects in different colors and styles.

It's wonderful if you need to entertain kids, but I'd skip it if you're looking for something more than gift-wrapping ideas.

This is an incredible resource book for any parent, scout leader, kid's program organizer, art/craft teacher. Wonderful resource!
