DC Super Heroes Origami is folding paper fantastic, but challenging

Howdy, we received a copy of the book for review-all thoughts are our own. Our big fingered, difficult to fold Origami paper own thoughts. One thing I will always remember from when I lived in Japan was this time when a group of us went to a local yakitori. One of my Japanese friends sat down and started folding the napkins into any manner of animals. He did a snake, dragon, shark and more all before our eyes. He was a paper folding Criss Angel. DC Super Heroes Origami would make my friend smile. It has 46 different folding projects of varying difficulty for you to build your own paper version the DC universe.

Each origami project has a difficulty rating of 1 to 3 stars. 1 star is easier, while 3 stars is much more difficult. It’s also important to point out that the beginning of the book has step by step directions on how to do each fold. These 11 folds may seem simple, but each fold may have several steps in order to create your super hero.

Hint: purchase some practice origami paper. DC Super Heroes Origami has 96 illustrated sheets to complete your projects, but you will need to practice before folding them Daniel San. Wax on, wax off. He had to learn the motions before redirecting the punches, didn’t he?

We’re still using the practice paper on our origami. We’re actually still practicing the folds. Even the 1-star origami projects are not simple; they require patience and a calm mental attitude. It’s important to mention that because our 5 year old saw the book, wanted to look at the Superman and Bat Man art and do some himself.

While it would be great for him to be able to do it, there is no way. DC Super Heroes Origami would be great for kids as young as 8. Remember those paper footballs you’d make in middle school? If you can’t make one of those then this book will take some ramp up practice to really enjoy it.

The origami projects include most of the major heroes in the DC Universe as well as their identifying elements. This could be the Penguin’s Umbrella, Bat Symbol, Fortress of Solitude Key, Hawkwoman’s Mace, Auqaman’s Trident or Wonder Woman’s Boot. Just because these things are not people, don’t assume that they’re simple to fold. Some of those are the 3-star difficulty projects too.

What is helpful is that the book starts with images of every origami project completed and grouped by the superhero that they’re associated with. It’s neat to see all of the projects completed and gave me the sense of ‘see, it’s not impossibly, people can do it’. In a way it was DC Super Heroes Origami: A New Hope. You can do it, but practice. We’re practicing and the things that we thought were impossible are still out of reach, but it’s getting closer.
