Origami Humans Kit (9780804851008)

Celebrate humanity in all its quirkiness with this entertaining collection of paper models!

Master paper artist Marc Kirschenbaum celebrates humanity with his whimsical new collection of customizable paper people. These twelve unique characters can be customized in endless ways—you can even attach your photo or a friend's! The models are easy to fold, ranging from origami beginner to intermediate levels. The fun really begins as you add details to transform each person into one-of-a-kind origami crafts!

The following characters are included:

• 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 attached case 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

Origami Humans is a fun way to interact with friends and family and, because everything you need is included, can be used virtually anywhere.

This origami kit comes complete with:
