Melissa & Doug Origami Paper Review
This is a decent little selection of very vibrant and fluorescent colors. You get 51 sheets and a generous number of them are metallic which are my favorites. This comes in a nice little box that has a string seal on it which helps to keep the paper safe and organized.
It also comes with a little stapled booklet that shows you how to fold five different projects: Airplane, Swan, Fortune Cookie, Wishing Star and Inflatable cube. See my accompanying picture to view these five projects. The paper is okay. It is pretty durable which is good for learning, refolding and working at the projects. It is colored on one side and white on the other.
I love the bright colors, but some of the colors will bleed through to the white just a little bit and will leave a bit of smudging on your fingers. So, that is why only four stars. The instructions are pretty clear but I had trouble with the swan. I couldn't quite get it right. I did make a nice swan but it seems to be a bit different than the one in the booklet. Nonetheless it is a nice little kit that gives you the paper and folding instructions. I like the star and the inflatable cube the best.
Considering the amount of paper and the booklet this is a pretty good value for the price and at the writing of this review it is also available for super saver shipping which potentially means free shipping. So if you want to start out easy or have the kids start out then this is a good place to start inexpensively.

Customer Reviews
durable paper - S. Morgenstein - Ohio, USA
This paper is easy to fold yet has a shiny plastic like coating on it. The metallic colors are fun and the box works well to store the paper. Our only problem is that the paper was popular with our son and we ran out pretty quickly.
Great inexpensive pack of origami paper. - Lorie B - PA
My 11 year old son loves origami, and I had a very hard time finding origami paper for him for Christmas. This was a nice set, perfect size and a variety of colors. He was very happy with it.
Great origami fun in a small package - C. G. King - Horse Country, VA USA
There are 51 sheets of quality paper in this kit--many bright colors, including gold and silver. They are smoothly colored on one side only (white on the other) to better appreciate the origami process, particularly if you are a beginner. There is an insert with six projects carefully outlined, starting with two easy ones.
I've tried other Origami sets with my grandchildren and failed miserably, so I was pleased to have some success with this one. I can always count on Melissa and Doug products. The sheets aren't too large for little hands to create some easy projects too, so we all had fun. After trying the projects on the included leaflet, we moved on to another book that had great instruction, but no paper. I'm glad I purchased both products together. Recommended together for beginners.
