Fold, decorate & play! Learning to fold simple paper models is
just the beginning in Origami Games for Kids! Children of all ages
can enjoy playing 15 interactive games with their finished origami
crafts. The paper models can be used to play 15 simple but highly
entertaining games that will keep children engaged for hours, and
allow them to collaborate as well as compete. Everything you need
is in this box--a full-color instruction book, 48 sheets of
high-quality folding papers, and over 50 stickers to decorate the
finished models. It only takes a minute or two to fold up each game
piece, and then you can use them to play the following exciting
games: Balancing Act--Who can keep the spinning wing balanced on
the pyramid longer? Basket Bombs--Shoot the ball through the hoop
using the catapult! Bowl 'Em Over--How many bowling pins can you
knock down at one time? Can You Top This?--Build a tower of
triangle chips as high as you can! Chip Toss--How many triangle
chips can you juggle between two inverted pyramids? Fill 'Er
Up--Who can flip the most balls into the box using the dragon's
nose? Football--Scoot the football in between the goal posts to
score! Frog Olympics--Spring the frog into, over or on top of the
box! Ghost Dodgers--Can you slide a triangle chip under the ghost
without knocking it over? Leap Frog--Keep the leaping frog leaping
as long as possible! Pick Up Chips--Carefully remove the triangle
chips one at a time without jostling the adjacent ones! Slay the
Dragon--Take turns launching footballs at the dragon on the goal
post until he's knocked down! Snap Dragon--Slide a penny under your
opponent's dragon without getting "pinched!" Stormy Seas--Who can
blow the sailboat from one end of the path to the other in the
shortest time? Timber!--Stack as many sheets as possible on top of
the "tree" before it falls over! These games will appeal to kids of
all ages and personalities. Beyond having fun, origami engages
children's minds with the physical world--allowing them to make
discoveries and solve problems. Research shows that origami
stimulates the logical and creative sides of the brain, so both
zones are actively engaged when folding. It also teaches the basics
of geometry and has concrete benefits for developing minds. Whether
at home, at a birthday party, on vacation, or in the classroom,
Origami Games for Kids Kit will provide hours of creative, hands-on
fun for everyone! This kit contains: A full-color 48-page origami
