The Best Storigami Books, Videos, and Origami Supplies

Over 100,000 students, teachers, and families have experienced the intellectual and educational benefits of Christine Kallevig's creative presentations since her first book was published in 1991. From Chalkyitsik, Alaska in the Arctic Circle to Mission, Texas on the Rio Grande, she has presented teacher workshops, family programs, and large student assemblies in public and private schools, libraries, and at literary festivals and conferences. She says, "Storigami is a kid magnet. It draws students into a world where language and art co-exist as equal partners, a world where paper folding captures attention and comprehension is provided by words. The stories stimulate imagination and offer entertaining examples of creative problem solving, but more importantly, they serve as a platform to examine the literary elements that make them successful. Fold-along activities allow students to experience illustration as a dynamic, active art form. Every component of Storigami is designed to provoke questions, stimulate new ideas, or provide information so that students will look at their own writing in exciting, new ways."
