This book
World's Best Origami explains how to make such creations step by step.
Each project contains a difficulty rating from 1 to 5. My 10 year old daughter and I tried some of these out last night. We only attempted Difficulty level 1 projects. She made a couple flowers and I made a swan. I was able to easily teach my 8 year old son how to make the swan. There some very detailed designs in the high level of difficulty projects.
Chapter 1 of the book is titled Origami Basics that explains how to properly fold the paper, cut the paper to the proper shape and many other techniques that must be learned to master the art of paper folding. The chapters that follow contain instructions for making flowers, people, animals, containers, birds and many other fun items.
The instructions are easy to follow and there are lots of models that show you exactly what to do. The only drawback is that this book is in black and white. It's also quite technical so it's too advanced for young children.
