Highly recommend for anyone who wants to dip their toes into origami!" —Gilad's Origami Page blog"The projects are geared towards beginners but not necessarily children. The kit actually includes a wide range of difficulty. […] When the book instructions were difficult to follow, they watched the videos on the included DVD. The videos are excellent and really helpful if you find the instructions confusing." —Omiyage Blog blog"This set is perfect for anyone interested in Japanese art in general—but especially in learning Japanese origami (art of paper folding). I'm not very good at origami…but I was able to fold many things by following the steps on the DVD and in the book!" —Tokyo Five blog"Ultimate Origami for Beginners is not your average beginner's guide. It includes a substantial booklet with easy-to-follow directions for somewhat more advanced beginner items—an oxymoron I realize—but I say that because this is not the cup, the crane, the box. The booklet includes flowers, animals (baby dinosaur, seahorse), airplanes, and dollar folds. Not to worry, though, the instructions are thoroughly illustrated and described. Plus if you're really stuck, there's a DVD guide to take you through the steps one-by-one." —8asians.com blog"It's the first kit to introduce all the various forms of origami that are popular today.

I will admit I thought this was just a book with stuff with it, I did not realize this was a full box, kit. I am not disappointed. The book is the perfect size and quality of it seems good. Everything is packaged in the box in great order. First you see then book, then the DVD, then lastly the paper. The paper that comes with the kit comes as follows, 10 Dollar Bills, 20 small 4in squares, and 25 large 6in squares ( 8 of which are speacil for the Two Lips design: Red on one side, green on the other. 4 lighter green, 4 dark green). The paper feels to me like a good quality. Besides the Two Lips sheets, all the other colors have white on one side, color on the other. The DVD is very user friendly. You can either scroll threw all 19 projects and select the specific one you want by hitting NEXT then the design desired, or you can hit play all. They videos were easy to see what was going on, and the audio was loud and clear. As the books beginning pages state, in the videos they rotate the paper so they are always folding away from you, in the book they are all oriented the same way. To some this may seem confusing but its done that way in the book to make it easier to follow. This is a great kit, I wish I could give it more then 5 stars.
