The Color & Collage Origami Art Kit offers a unique approach to an ancient craft that allows children to fold, assemble, compose, color, and display large collages using origami shapes. "Everyone can fold" is creator Andrew Dewar’s belief, and he also believes everyone’s origami looks great when it’s displayed in a collage.

The dozens of origami folding papers, six large backgrounds, and full-color instruction booklet help children of all ages fold like a pro right out of the gate, Dewar says. They’ll enjoy folding the individual models for stand-alone play, or arranging them on the backgrounds to add another dimension.

The backgrounds are printed in color on one side, and feature outlines on the reverse side for coloring fun. The double-sided origami papers feature folding lines incorporated into the playful designs.

The projects in the Color & Collage Origami Art Kit include Penguin Picnic, Starry Sky, Gingerbread House, Noah’s Ark, Christmas Tree, and a three-dimensional Playhouse with room, furniture, and paper doll templates — there’s even a piano that doubles as a sofa!

The Color & Collage Origami Art Kit includes:

• 88 sheets of origami folding paper
• six backgrounds
• a 64-page, full-color instruction booklet
