Origami (折り紙, Japanese pronunciation: [oɾiɡami] or [oɾiꜜɡami], from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. Origami folders often use the Japanese word kirigami to refer to designs which use cuts.
In this Book, you will discover
- The ways to make colorful, sweet and even fierce animals (lions, tigers and bears, oh my!) There will be a total of 14 different Animal Origami projects. Each project has helpful pictures and well written instructions at each step to guide you and ensure you don't get lost.
- Some of our buddies here are a bit more difficult to make, but if you're not an origami expert, dont worry! Just like in the first book of the series "Origami For Kids," these projects progress from easiest to the more difficult, so take your time and enjoy the adventure from the start. The first few projects will start off quite easy (such as a Pig face, a Bulldog face, and an Owl) and then they gradually start to get harder with more advanced techniques (including the likes of the Gorilla and the Squirrel!).
- There are litle hidden treasures throughout the book, like fun facts about Japan, and all kinds of cool things about our animal friends.
