Paper folding, or origami, is a creative and easy-to-learn craft that's great fun for all ages and abilities. This book demonstrates 26 fun and imaginative projects, each with straightforward diagrams and tips that will guide the reader from start to finish.
Children can learn to make all sorts of figures from foxes to flying spaceships and from birds to floating boats. They can race jumping frogs, send gifts in a treasure box and amaze friends with the magic purse trick -- all just using paper and imagination.
Activities are graded by difficulty level from 'starting out' to 'experienced', enabling children to develop their skills gradually and creatively as they learn to make more complex figures.
This book is ideal for teachers or parents with children aged 5 -12 years old.

It makes this creative craft easy to learn and provides a wide variety of projects for fingers of all sizes... it is a book that would be as happy at home with children, siblings and friends as it would in school for wet lunchtimes, special occasions, art projects and crafty clubs.'

Join Sir Cumference and the gang for more wordplay, puns, and problem solving in the clever math adventure that introduces readers to charts and graphs through an annual bake-off.
In the eighth installment of this popular math adventure series, Sir Cumference and Lady Di need a baker to prepare a special dessert for the annual Harvest Faire. Two bakers compete to see whose dessert is most popular. When Pia of Chartres and Bart Graf have trouble keeping track of the votes their desserts receive, they each develop a better system. Pia places a colored candy around the edges of a pie dough (like a pie chart), and Bart stacks up cookie tins (making a 3D bar graph). Puns--both literal and visual--abound in this fun adventure story that introduces different methods of collecting data.
Perfect for parent and teachers who are looking to make math fun and accessible for everyone.
Recommended for children ages 7-10 years.
