Aitoh Kimono Doll Paper Kit

My daughter and I really enjoyed this product. Some of the instructions are hard to understand but overall we were able to make some nice paper dolls.

I threw my daughters’ a cherry blossom theme birthday party and ordered these paper dolls as a table decor. I was able to make 8 paper dolls with the materials it came with. Directions were a little confusing at first but after the second one, I got the hang of it. Everyone loved them.

Nice Kit. The box is overrated though, I feel like I paid more for it than the contents. It actually comes with 12 body and head templates. Paper that's included is awesome, it feels almost like fabric.Instructions are very clear and easy to understand. It would of been better it came as a small booklet. But, after you make a couple, you really don't have to look at it too much anymore.I'm happy with my purchase, I love origami and when I saw this kit, I had to have it.

The dolls are really cute. I must say I was a bit disappointed. Very nice box, and when you open it, you have a pack of paper/hair to make the dolls and black and white folded instructions. I was expecting a nice little color booklet for the instructions (for future reference & use). The box certainly is over rated to the actual contents. I think I paid more for the box than the contents. The amount of papers you get to make these dolls are definitely not worth what you pay for this kit. I can buy a 20 or 25 pack of origami paper at Walmart for $5-$6. Overall this kit is okay.

Wonderful little set. Instructions were good - simple and straightforward. We made basic kimonos with sleeves. It took about 45 minutes for us as first timers (mom with 5th grader & 3rd grader following as I made mine). The second time around with my 3 yr old took 15 minutes. I definitely recommend this set for its simplicity, ease and excellent learning results when added to our Japanese/Asia studies.

My teenage daughter, who is very good with arts and crafts, enjoyed this kit. However, the dolls are just a little too small, which makes it really hard to work on them. If you have a younger child, this may not be the kit for them. The dolls are really pretty though.

This was a great product for what I needed it for. Easy to follow instructions and plenty of material to make what is stated on the box. I would purchase this again if needed. I never made an oragami anything but I did make a Doll.

I loved this product. I received it last night and I made my first doll already. My first language is not English and i certainly do not know Japanese. But instructions were very easy to figure out and make the origami doll. I recommend this product for the beginner origami people. I will use these dolls to decorate my tags for my girlfriends Christmas presents.
