Comments from our Visitors
"I found this site just today as my children asked about learning origami, not my favourite subject as in the past a decade, I've purchased three different 'origami for beginners' packages and have never managed to complete a single (simple! ) job
"Today, We made my first origami 'basket' - whilst my 8 and 9 year olds made their first fleet of ships, plants, a Origami Owl Earrings zoo packed with origami animals and more. The particular instructions are excellent - definitely the best I've seen and the jobs good. What a great way to spend a rainy day and the kids enjoyed it immensely... as did I for once"

Call and make an Origami Scrapbook or Ring Binder
One of the downsides of origami is having an annoying collection of paper designs cluttering up the house, and nothing particularly to do with them!
The majority of the origami models at Activity Town are "flat" and therefore lend themselves to an origami scrapbook or band binder.
Your son or daughter can store their valuable work, show
We used an inexpensive cardboard A4 ring binder to store our origami models, separated into three sections:
1st, we hole punched various pieces of coloured credit card for the front of the binder, onto which we stuck our models. Some pages we filled up model by model, as we finished them, dating them and adding one or two comments along the way. Other pages we "themed" - utilizing a darker blue piece of card as a background Avion En Papier Tuto for our various fish models, and adding some decals to make it look more interesting. We linked our models to the card with a stuff stick.
Second, we added a number of plastic-type sleeves into which we slipped the origami instructions we had printed away, ready to try.
3 rd, we used sticky-tape to attach a sizable envelope to the inside back side of the ring binder, in which we store our origami paper safely.
