Pokemon Origami: Fold Your Own Pokemon!

So far we've only done Pikachu, which is the easiest Pokemon in the book (the book arranges the projects in order from easy to hard), and it was hard. The book cover says it's for ages 6+, but my 8.5yo struggled a lot and there were 2-3 spots *I* had serious trouble figuring out what to do. The only way this book is appropriate for a 6yo is if the 6yo has been an origami fanatic for quite a while.

You're going to need scissors, tape, and glue for some/most of the projects.

My kid loves it.
Some characters, it is not easy to follow the directions, I have to spend time to help him understand.
Some characters require you to cut into the paper, like Pikachu, if you didn't pay attention, you will end up ruin your origami.
I ended up had to tape the cut off pieces together and went through it my kid.

So the book might be challenge for some younger kids and even adults.
And it is almost a must that it requires parent's participation.

However, it is a good bonding time between me and my kid and I really believe it will be a good boding time for you and your kid as well.

I like this book, but I really have to think about the instructions sometimes, they are not always intuitive. I haven't folded origami in years, though and this was fun. I borrowed the book from the library so I could preview it and see if I really wanted it, and I think I still want it. That being said, I folded all the characters out of regular origami paper and then drew and glue on character features. Which I probably would have done anyway just to practice before using the pre-printed paper in the back of the book

My seven year old son loves Origami and loves Pokemon, so he loved this book! He was able to follow the instructions and make some of the characters. Some he thought were too difficult for him at this time, but that gives him something to work towards!

I didn't realize that in the bak it comes with the paper to make them out of. I will be buying this again for other Pokemon lovers. well work it and good quality .

Not for kids! Very difficult to figure out. Dissatisfied and would have cost me $5 to return. Pikachu is the easiest one (picture for example) and my 7&9 year old couldn't do it.

Super cute but not for kids. 9 year old struggled so mom tried with no luck and dad got frustrated as well. 38 steps is too many for elementary kids. Better for teens or those who do origami more frequently.

My nephew loved this origami book. Though you do need scissors and tape for a few of the characters.

Exactly as advertised - got here quick

These are fun to make and very cute when done! Instructions are very easy to follow. All you need is the book and a pair of scissors. However, it is Origami, so it could be quite frustrating if attempting to do with any children who haven't yet mastered cutting straight lines or folding straight lines. But I highly recommend otherwise.
