Book: The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book 21 Paper Folding Creations

Thanks to Fox Chapel Publishing | Happy Fox Books for allowing me to read and review this craft book in exchange for an honest review on NetGalley and Goodreads, as well as Amazon.

There are different paper crafts to choose from. Note: Origami would be a new to me craft. The book gives specific instructions and I can foresee a learning curve. Would strongly recommend several knowledgeable helpers if this is used in a group setting. I found the print to be small on my Kindle.

Overall, if prepared ahead of time, this could fill a snowy afternoon or rainy day.

I only downloaded this book just to look at some origami ideas because I was interested in doing some to cure my boredom. Origami might be hard, but if you follow instructions properly, you will eventually get the hang of it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for more origami ideas.

What a great little introduction to the craft of origami. Clear and simple instruction with easy to follow illustrations makes this a the perfect guide for beginners to create many different shapes, and QR codes link you to tips and tricks to help master basic folds and techniques.

The book comes with everything you need to get started (paper, stickers). Provides hours of fun for all ages.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to preview an advance digital copy of this title in exchange for my honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.

I have worked through a couple different origami workbooks and videos over the years. This one did not disappoint. The instructions are clear and large enough than younger children can follow along easily.

There are several different classic projects (boxes, paper airplane, and the crane) as well as some more challenging ones like a person and jumping frog. The majority of the book is filled with folding papers of all colors, patterns, and objects printed on them. You might find yourself taking more time to pick the perfect sheet than actually doing the project. There are also a few pages of stickers included.

Origami is a great way to develop finer motor skills and relax with a quiet project.

While the book can be used on its own, there are references to the show that it accompanies. The beginning talks about the different characters, and several of the projects include QR codes and references to specific episodes in the show.

It is always hard to follow instructions for origami shapes you’ve never made before, but this book manages to convey them well and chooses easy ones at first that are great for beginners.
I don’t know the characters from before but I’m sure they’ll also make it appealing to their fans.

My 8 year old and I went through this book together and it is approved by both of us!! The symbols at the beginning were essential, so we had to bookmark that page and refer to it often.
The designs were cute. Some offered my daughter more of a challenge, but in a good way! The extras and added images were great. The QR code episodes were a perfect addition!

I like the book cover to this book as it gives you a little insight of what to expect in the book. I like the cartoon characters as well. I especially loved the beginning of the book where it showed what the arrows meant, which can be very helpful for starters.

I did origami when I was little and the instructions were in Japanese, which I did not understand, so it was very difficult for me to learn the harder projects. This book does a great job for beginners to understand. The patterns are simple, but a great way to start and I love the characters that were being created/built with a single piece of paper.

I also liked that in the back of the book, there were patterns for people to print out and use as origami.

My only con was that this book was not formatted correctly for the kindle and tablet. I had to open up the NetGalley app to view it correctly.

This was so fun and a great activity! The photos/instructions were a little hard to follow from the pictures, but it was still doable.

I looked at this book with my younger grandchildren and it had some really good ideas. Beautifully illustrated and looks a lot like a comic book format that was very appealing to the children.

What a lovely book! There’s a lot of value inside beyond making the origami, including fun characters, stickers and QR codes. I would definitely consider buying this as a gift.

Loved this book! Easy to follow instructions made doing origami with my 8 year old daughter a breeze! I wanted to share my love of origami with her and spark her creative side, and this book was perfect.

Thank you Netgalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for the digital ARC. The opinion is my own.

For a children's origami book this is so colourful! I can't say much about the show The Paper Girls but the style in the book is so nice. There are QR codes for each project that goes to a significant episode of the show. The projects are explained well enough - there are instructions in the beginning on how to do the folds are read the instruction illustrations. Some projects I knew as they are relatively popular such as the crane (the quintissencial though interestingly it is not named so), the jumping frog and the butterfly.
Though it is a digital version, the papers given and the stickers were also shown in this version. The stickers are simple and to the point such as eyes and mouths. The papers some of them are so pretty!

All in all, if you have a kid that is curious and hands-on or simply want to have an activity to do with said kid (Or by yourself), this book seems to be a good choice.

Origami book is colourful and creative book for anyone who trying new things, who are creative, or wants learning Origami. I'm always want to learn to make Origami and this book is perfect for me.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book and enjoy the process of making the Origami!

"The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book" is a fantastic choice for anyone who loves origami, whether you're an adult or a child. The instructions are easy to follow, making it simple to create beautiful designs. The stickers and special papers included would be especially fun for kids, adding an extra layer of creativity to the experience.

Inhalt
"The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book" entführt junge Leserinnen und Leser in die faszinierende Welt des Origami und der Papierkunst. Basierend auf der beliebten und preisgekrönten Serie "The Paper Girls Show" vermittelt das Buch die Grundlagen des Origami durch einfache, verständliche Anleitungen. Es enthält 21 kreative Papierfaltungsprojekte, von niedlichen Tieren wie einer Maus und einem Fisch bis hin zu dekorativen Elementen wie einem Schmetterling oder einer Modekleid-Kreation. Mit jedem Projekt wird nicht nur eine neue Origamifigur geschaffen, sondern auch eine wertvolle Lektion über Problemlösung und Kreativität vermittelt. Das Buch enthält zusätzlich 100 Origamipapiere und bietet QR-Codes zu den entsprechenden Episoden der Show, was das Erlebnis noch interaktiver macht.

Meinung
Dieses Buch ist ein echtes Highlight für Kinder, die sich für Basteln und kreative Projekte interessieren. Die Anleitungen sind klar strukturiert und leicht verständlich, sodass auch Anfänger schnell Erfolgserlebnisse haben. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Verknüpfung der Origamiprojekte mit den Episoden der "Paper Girls Show". Die Kinder können direkt sehen, wie ihre Kreationen in der Show eine Rolle spielen, was den Lernprozess noch spannender und greifbarer macht.

Die beigefügten Origamipapiere sind ein tolles Extra und ermöglichen es den Kindern, sofort mit dem Basteln zu beginnen, ohne zusätzliches Material besorgen zu müssen. Die Auswahl der Projekte ist abwechslungsreich und bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Ob Tiere, Musikinstrumente oder modische Accessoires – die Vielfalt der Falttechniken wird spielerisch vermittelt.

Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt ist, dass manche der Projekte für jüngere Kinder möglicherweise etwas herausfordernd sein könnten. Hier wäre es hilfreich, wenn das Buch zusätzlich zu den QR-Codes auch Hinweise auf die Schwierigkeitsstufe der Projekte geben würde, damit die Eltern besser einschätzen können, welches Projekt für ihr Kind geeignet ist.

Fazit
"The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book" ist ein inspirierendes und unterhaltsames Buch, das nicht nur die kreative Seite von Kindern fördert, sondern auch wertvolle Lektionen über Problemlösung und Durchhaltevermögen vermittelt. Die Kombination aus Origami und einer beliebten TV-Show macht es zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis für junge Bastelfans. Insgesamt ein sehr gelungenes Buch, das ich mit 4 von 5 Sternen bewerte.

I have been wanting to revisit origami and this book had some nice ideas - the instructions are all in pictures and you need to pay attention and follow them the 1st time, and then they were easy... lots of new items to make now :) the cartoon drawing were cute. a fun book.

5⭐️

What a great activity for children and adults alike! It taps into STEM, mindfulness, motor skills, and your “inner child.” I know I’m feeling like a kid again - about to go grab some scrapbook paper and make me a frog 🐸!

🎥 This visual book offers a cute cast of characters that teach you how to fold origami, QR Codes that take you to story lines and video tutorials, and a variety of difficulty levels.

🔄 The directions were easy to follow, and there was a great assortment of origami options to choose from, including 3D. Here are some of my favorites:
-frog
-crown
-stars and planet mobile
-ferret finger puppet

🛒 You will want to buy the print version of this book for sure. The back of the book has 100 fun colored patterns that you can tear and fold, and some really cute stickers that include facial features to use on your origami designs, and some of the characters from the book.

🎁 What a great gift for young kids, or even for grandparents to keep lying around for visits. I could see families and friends bonding over this activity together. This is something I’ll be doing with my son, and maybe we’ll make a bunch and leave them around his school with some uplifting messages on them 🫶🏼

📌 I plan to try some of these soon. I’ll post to my blog www.hippie-blossom.com if you want to subscribe for updates.

Thanks to NetGalley, Fox Chapel Publishing, and Nicole C Kear for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review!

The Paper Girls showing origami craft is a great idea. It is a better idea than real life people showing origami or only photos of the steps and the final pieces. The characters make this book more engaging.
Some nice designs and illustrations and the range is good.
The steps are easy-to-follow and we will surely try all of the designs in this book.
