Origami Architecture Kit: Create Lifelike Scale Paper Models of Three Iconic Buildings: Kit with Origami Book & Pre-Cut Card Stock: Great for Kids and Adults! Paperback – Download: Adobe Reader, October 8, 2013

This was very disappointing. I used them with a group of adults, and everyone found them problematic. First, the directions are often quite unclear. The comment "as shown in the picture" is generally useless: the image is in no way clear as to what one is supposed to do. Second, the folds onto which one puts glue are always much too small, making the gluing often impossible. (I just happened to have scotch tape with me that day or the project would have been totally futile.) Third, there should be an indication that the Sydney Opera House is significantly more difficult than the others and that the Eiffel Tower is the easiest (relatively). My group completed the Tower and the White House, but no one was truly satisfied with the outcome. My suggestion is that these materials should be completely redesigned. There is real potential here but I cannot imagine how a young person (and certainly not a child under 10 or 11) could keep from being frustrated in the process of working on them.

After cutting and building the Effial Tower, I thought I would try thing one. This is a good basic primer in these. They are not the same size as in the book and they are not completely cut out, rather dark ink where you would normally cut. Price is right, will still awe people.

My granddaughter rated it Four Stars because although the buildings were pretty, it was very hard to put it together.

the Sydney building was a bit difficult to fold

fun to do

Wow!! Finally found a hobby worth exploring!!!

Don't waste your time. It isn't origami, the paper is flimsy, the instructions are poor and the illustrations are useless.

Horrible. The only thing that makes this close to origami is the fact that everything is made out of paper. Every building piece is a small piece of paper with painfully small tabs you're supposed to fold along dashed lines. Then once you have the folded tabs you're instructed to -- get ready for this -- break out the glue (!) to affix these tiny tabs to other building pieces. It feels like gluing a house of cards together, where one false step will cause the entire thing to fall apart. It's infuriating and not worth the money, at all.

The item received, was as expected.
