Welcome to the magic of paperfolding—from flat piece of paper to 3D creature. No scissors or glue required!

Ingeniously designed using interlocking tabs and only two simple types of folds, Paperfold Sea Animals is a new kind of paper craft that’s fun and mess-free for kids 7+. Punch out and construct an array of ten amazing models of animals from all corners of the ocean and its shores: a playful dolphin and calf, a regal walrus, a floating sea horse, a pelican gulping down a fishy meal, a sea turtle laying eggs in the sand, a pufferfish, a hammerhead shark, a prehistoric-looking anglerfish, an octopus, and a great blue whale.

Then, on the back of each instructional sheet is a Fact File card—a set of surprising facts about the featured animal: Did you know that walrus tusks never stop growing? Or that octopuses have three hearts? Or that pufferfish are highly toxic, yet are eaten as a delicacy in Japan?

PAPERFOLD SEA CREATURES is an engaging, self-contained activity book. The book includes punch out paper with instructions that fold them into different sea creatures. For each animal, the book also includes a page of facts and information about them.

What I loved: This is fantastic for kids who love crafting and are on-the-go. The book is completely self-contained, as you don't need scissors or tape or anything else to put these together. They punch out easily and have marks for the folds, with tabs to help hold them together. The resulting animals are incredibly cool-looking and three-dimensional.

Kids will love putting these together - and learning about the different animals. The facts give a lot of great information, which is perfect for kids who love to know cool tidbits to share. Although they are intended for 7 years and up, younger children would be able to do these with a little assistance from caregivers.

Final verdict: PAPERFOLD SEA CREATURES is an enjoyable and entertaining activity book that teaches children about sea animals while allowing them to easily create 3D figures. Highly recommend for on-the-go or a rainy afternoon.
