Folding for Fun

Written by Didier Boursin

This book has all the basic origami designs with patterns for a box, a plane, and a boat. But there are also some that are different and fun to try outside. This book is advertised for ages 4 and up, which is perfect for kindergarten or as an introduction to origami for older kids. The number of steps ranges from 15 for the box to only four steps for a noisemaker.

The large pictures and clear instructions are great to help ELLs practice their directional vocabulary. Unlike a more complicated origami book, Boursin limits the number of symbols used to seven. Boursin also uses four types of folds throughout the book.
