There’s something eternally fun in turning a plain piece of paper into a 3-D shape.  Whether it’s making a paper fortune teller, a paper airplane, or an origami box, the art of paper folding has been around for years, and it’s an easy and fun way to get started crafting.

For young and old lovers of origami, there’s Wild & Wonderful Origami, a great book filled with 35 wild animal patterns that you can create in no time!

Wild & Wonderful Origami also comes with a set of 50 pieces of origami paper, already decorated and cut to suit your needs.  With the help of this book, you can make paper cranes, foxes, zebras, giraffes, pandas, chameleons, crocodiles, snakes, and more!  All the paper is already decorated to suit the animal, so all you have to do is fold!

As a fox and wolf lover, I was instantly drawn to the origami fox.  With step by step photos of each fold, this fox was so easy to make and it looks so cute sitting on my desk! 

Boys and girls alike will love all the fun projects they can make with the help of Wild & Wonderful Origami.  There is also 15 pieces of additional paper included in this kit, so once you’ve mastered all the cute animals in this book, you can go back and create a snake with a giraffe pattern, or a zebra with a lobster pattern!  And the great thing about origami is that there is no adhesive or cutting required…just a little paper and a lot of imagination!
