Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UNLIKE OTHERS WHO LEFT GLOWING REVIEWS FOR A FREE PRODUCT...I PAID FOR MINE... TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!!! They sell these in scholastic school book orders so they are for children my son's age, but they were very difficult for my 8 year old to do. Myself and my husband also were left scratching our heads on a few. My son has been doing star wars origami and more for a couple of years now so we figured we would try this one for our little muggle. He LOVES HARRY POTTER LOVES ORAGAMI, but won't use this book. He tried for about two days and stopped. He was so excited when he opened it inn his birthday....but the fun quickly fizzled away. First, some of these projects are kiragami, which involves cutting. Also may need tape and glue, etc..what kind of origami is this? It involves parent help for sure and messy. Supplies everywhere! Origami is supposed to be good, clean fun lol. Next, the projects are already difficult for younger children, but can be done after a bit of practice, BUT you have to use the paper they included to make folding easier to understand and to get the real look. Without it, the hat just looks like a pointy turd, etc. They just don't look correct without the fancy paper...which the book only comes with one piece per project. Each piece is difficult to get out of the book without ripping it all up though. Fold it wrong the first time, your fancy paper is unusable and the project looks less HARRY POTTER. Parents need to help...Not an alone play time type fun. Ours came release day, all smashed up and ruined, had to send back for replacement. All in all, this book had pretty color photos, cool looking, but not practical at ALL, especially for younger kids...more like Middle school grade and up. Either way, it is a big disappointment.
