Creepy Crawly Animal Origami

Book excerpt: "A good choice for paper-folding enthusiasts who enjoy challenges."--School Library Journal From ants to open-mouthed alligators, from turtles to tarantulas, young crafters can make a really cool origami menagerie of creepy-crawly creatures using only some simple paper folds. The detailed instructions are all laid out in generously sized full-color illustrations. Practice the folds: the kite, valley, mountain, squash, inside and outside reverse, and four others, to use as a base. Big bright diagrams guide children through the 14 projects, like the lobster that has quite a realistic-looking shell; eight legged grasshopper; gecko with claws and long tail; winged dragonfly; plus a scary scorpion, komodo dragon, mosquito, praying mantis, and wasp.
