Overall Impression

Joel Stern is back with a new kit oriented for children, combining easy to fold origami with fun kids' activities of coloring and decorating with stickers. The kit comes with a large city design play mat, colored on one side and ready for coloring on the other, on which the folded models can be set up and played with. Some of the designs do need stickers to be easily recognizable, and over 130 of them are provided in the kit, as well as 40 special glossy sheets of origami paper with appropriate designs.

The booklet is beautifully produced, with attractive photos and design notes for each model. The designs progress in difficulty, so the kit will work well for beginners.

There are 14 Origami Designs in Origami City:
