Beginner's Origami: Birds, Beasts, Bugs, & Butterflies

For more indoor fun, kids can learn the art of paper folding in Beginner's Origami: Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Butterflies by Steve and Megumi Biddle. This guide, with artwork from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, teaches youngsters to create a butterfly, cat, swan, peacock, snake and more. A photograph of a painting or sculpture depicting each animal is paired with step-by-step directions and illustrations, plus 40 sheets of brightly colored origami paper (tucked behind the die-cut front cover).
