Geometric Origami Mini Kit: Folded Paper Fun for Kids & Adults! This Kit Contains an Origami Book with 48 Modular Origami Papers

Description

Geometric origami models made from multiple coloured paper sheets folded and fitted together have exploded onto the origami scene and become enormously popular. Just when you think everything has been seen and done before-these new and exciting paper craft designs pop up! The appealing modular models in this kit are all new and designed by world renowned origami artist Michael LaFosse. Because these designs each require multiple sheets of paper, and the folding required for each element is relatively simple, these are perfect activities to share with a child. The magic of these origami models is in fitting the pieces together, often using ingenious but simple locks. The same elements can often be reused over and over to create new geometric shapes-which is a great way of demonstrating to kids the wonders of geometry.

Michael G. LaFosse has been an origami artist for decades and is considered a leading authority and master of the art. Richard L. Alexander, together with Michael G. LaFosse, has created dozens of origami exhibitions, and over fifty books, kits and videos about paper and paper arts.

"This kit includes a booklet, a DVD and some mini origami paper. The booklet has instructions for six different origami items, and the DVD demonstrates how to make all six. The nice part of having the DVD is sometimes origami instructions can be a bit confusing, so being able to actually see them is great. This is a fun kit that is very reasonable and each project lends itself to a math lesson. [...] Students will enjoy making the shapes and it gives them a hands-on way to play with measurements and explore. Origami has been used in many math classes and it adds so much more to the class." -CraftyMomsShare.com blog "What I really liked about the projects in this kit is that they are multi-paper projects, which opens a whole new door in the origami world. The paper is great quality--which is important as my son has learned when you want those crisp folds needs for intricate pieces. Geometric Origami would be a great gift for a child or adult." --Outnumbered Mama blog
