N2  - Asian Arts & Crafts for Creative Kids is the first series that provides a fun and educational introduction to Asian culture and art. Through hands-on projects readers will engage in activities to gain a better understanding of each art form. By nurturing children's abilities in areas such as haiku and origami, these books bring new dimensions to the lives of young readers. Children will have hours of fun with these 15 projects to introduce them to the exciting world of origami. A crane, a bat, and a lotus-topped gift box are just a few of the simple projects for first-time paper folders. The book includes an introduction to origami that explores its history, the kinds of paper used, preparation, and basic folding techniques. Each of the fifteen projects explores a different aspect of Asian culture. Origami is a wonderful way to stimulate a child's imagination and their interest in Asian art
