Description
This animal origami kit turns flat squares of paper into five cheerful creatures, ready for small hands to fold one crease at a time. Inside are 24 double-sided origami sheets printed in bold orange, pink, yellow, blue and dark teal. Each is marked with dotted fold lines and numbered steps, and they come with a 36 page instruction handbook that has a smiling orange cat on its mint green cover. Together they make a cat, a fox, a mouse, a bird with striped wings and a long-eared friend in dark teal. Every animal has its face and markings already printed, so it looks right the moment the last fold goes in.
It is a lovely kit for a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table, in the playroom or on a long journey, since there is nothing messy to pack. No scissors or glue are needed, so children can sit down and start folding, and grown-ups can join in without hunting for supplies. The finished animals stand up on a windowsill, a bedroom shelf or a desk, where they make a little menagerie. It suits children who love animals, budding crafters and anyone curious about the old art of paper folding, and it makes a thoughtful present that keeps busy hands happy long after it is unwrapped.
The kit is made from card and paper and comes flat. It measures 30.8cm long, 23.8cm wide and 0.7cm thick, so it slips into a bag or a parcel. The sheets are printed on both sides, so colour shows wherever a fold turns the paper over, and the numbered markings work alongside the handbook to guide each step. Keep the sheets flat and dry until they are folded, and store the finished animals away from damp so their creases stay crisp. We like to add a small box for keeping the finished animals together, so they become a little collection to treasure.
