Fold-Along Stories: Quick & Easy Origami Tales for Beginners

Storytelling + origami = StorigamiI have always been fascinated by origami and interested in ways to make the folding experience more pleasurable especially for beginners and kids.The models in this book is simple, very, very simple, not suitable for adults even for begineer adults. Most adults even begineers prefer simple models with a bit more details in their models, something easy to identify. Of course there are adults to prefer the simple childish elegance of simple models. Most of the models can be completed in less than 10 steps. This book is definitely not for people who prefer complicated models and those looking for new models to try out.I bought the book with the intention of looking for new ways to enhance the teaching of origami. Usually telling stories is not for me as I do not like to speak much.I read some of the stories in the book and was very amused by the way origami is taught with stories. It was interesting enough for me to try it out. It was interesting enough for me to order the other 2 books on origami and story telling.The usual flow goes as follows: The story would start, at a strategic point, a fold would be used to illustrate a step in the story. You will find that the story step synch very well with the folding step and it is rather amusing too. It could raise laughter among the children. The model can end with a twist.I find this book suitable for teachers who tell stories and wants to get the children to get more involve in the story. It is also suitable for teachers who teaches craft and wants to add another dimension into the craft.
