This collection has 16 free craft tutorials: 7 paper animals (an origami dolphin, an owl, a lion, a toilet-paper-roll mermaid, a wobbly-head bear, and a flying honey bee with moving wings), 4 paper character projects (a fortune teller, a paper doll, a paper puppet, and a LEGO storage box), 3 greeting cards (a heart for a birthday, a tie for Father’s Day, and a flamingo card), plus 1 seasonal paper fan and 1 buying guide to craft glue.
Every tutorial is a real step-by-step guide, not just a template to print — each one lists the exact materials, walks through the folds or cuts in order, and says roughly how long it takes. The animal crafts use basic paper-folding and cutting, so they suit the same age range as VerbNow’s coloring pages; the character projects like the paper doll and puppet run longer, closer to 15-17 steps, and work well for a rainy-afternoon project rather than a quick activity.
None of these need special craft-store supplies beyond paper, scissors, and glue — the glue guide covers which type holds up best for paper crafts specifically. For drawing rather than folding and cutting, see the how-to-draw collection.
