Hands up if you're looking at the swiftly-approaching summer holidays, wondering how you are going to keep the kids entertained and away from their screens for at least some of the time ! Well, I have the perfect solution for you - Carlton Kids' Rainbow Origami.
Whether you're a total beginner or already have some basic knowledge of the ancient Japanese art of paper-folding, the book will give you lots of simple advice and tips to help you get started, as well as eight projects of varying degrees of difficulty to hone your skills.
The step-by-step instructions with illustrations are very easy to follow and within minutes, you'll have a finished project ready to show off so it's a really rewarding activity.
I also love the way the book gives you an idea of how to use or display your work once it's finished.
You can have fun making a heart garland, a bunch of paper flowers, a rainbow butterfly wall in your bedroom or an origami boat race, for example.
The rainbow part of the title comes from the fact that the book includes lots of brightly coloured paper for you to use - there are eight designs (Crane, Heart, Bow, Flower, Frog, Boat, Fish and Butterfly) and seven colours to choose from.
It's a lovely project that the whole family can get involved in that even the grown-ups will enjoy as much as the children.
