Origami Humans Kit (9780804853910)

Create 3D models of your friends and family with these fun (and funny!) origami paper people.

Bring a smile to your loved one's face by recreating them in origami form. Everything you need to start folding customizable characters is in this kit! Follow the step-by-step instructions to create a basic human form, then customize using the included colorful papers. Add stickers to accessorize and give your paper person their own unique personality, and finally add a photo of a friend, family member, co-worker, favorite TV character or historical figure.

This kit contains the following characters, each of which can be customized in lots of different ways:

• The Dog Walker: There are many origami dog models—only this one comes with a built-in leash
• The Superhero: No capes! Okay, one cape. Up, up and away!
• The Construction Worker: Squeezing the attached drill makes the bit go up and down
• The Businessperson: The briefcase has a space for small papers (and other surprises you may wish to place inside)
• The Weightlifter: One barbell, or two? You decide.
• The Baker: The apron is adjustable—which is good news for bakers who like to sample their own wares
• The Guitarist: A player who is at home with everything from classical to rock
• The Skier: Once you attach the skis and poles, this character is ready to hit the slopes
• The Tennis Player: Can also be a racquetball, squash, ping-pong or badminton player
• The Golfer: Can also be turned into an ice hockey or field hockey player
• The Kayaker: The kayak has built-in oars, which your character really rows!
• The Baseball Player: Just like the game, this model is trickier than you expect

Creating paper people is a fun activity for the whole family, and online video tutorials help everyone to fold these figures.
