Hamtaro Origami
Kids love making things, and what better way to make things than with origami based on the adventures of ten-year-old Laura, her pet golden hamster Hamtaro, and his Ham-Ham Gang? Included are 80 colorful pages of origami paper imprinted with the hottest new Japanese pop culture phenomenon Hamtaro and the Hamtaro characters and simple, straightforward instructions for beginners. The preprinted paper and instructions direct readers in creating three-dimensional figures of the whole gang — Laura, Hamtaro, Pashimina, Bijou, Maxwell, and other Hamtaro characters — as well as characters they dream up on their own. This colorful kit is not only perfect for teaching kids hand-eye coordination and problem solving, it’s fun too!
