Origami for children

Rachel was given the book "Origami for Children" for her birthday.

I had put off trying to have a go with Rachel, expecting it to be fiendishly difficult, but I was wrong. Every project is ranked by difficulty as 1, 2 or 3. We started at the simplest and created a cat, a dog and a penguin in quick succession.

Basking in our success I gave in to Rachel's pleas for an origami balloon and was completely dumbfounded when it inflated as promised in the final step.

The book is everything it promises in the title; origami for children with the instructions and paper you need to make one of each. We are mighty impressed with our creations
