Last year for Christmas I received a day at a time calender.  The good part of this was that each day was a different origami art work.  And I could use the pages of the previous day to make my origami work.  This was so neat as I had something interesting to do every day.  I learned a new art form.  And it showed the thought that was given in a give for me.

I love sharing original gifts in my gift guide.  Also affordable ones too!  So for my crafty friends and especially those who have interesting ways to look at the world I give you 
World's Best Origami by Nick Robinson.  This is a easy to follow book to making over 100 different origami art pieces.  This book starts with the basic forms and even has my personal favorite, the Penguin.  I can imagine you know that person who has everything, well bet they don't have this.
If you would like to teach you kiddo a lil on this art form then you may want to start with the grade school classic of the 
Fortune Teller.   You remember this one right?  Pick a number and pick a color to get the answer to your question.  Your kiddos will have you helping out with this one just a time or two.  Then they will be answering all your questions with it.
