Aesop's Fables Origami ebooks

Origami-club is a site with all sorts of printable paper activities, including instructions for making hundreds of origami objects.

The site has a special page dedicated to flip ebooks. Two of their online books are based on Aesop’s Fables – The Hare and the Tortoise, and The Lion and the Mouse.

All the characters in these two graphic books are created using folded paper via origami style.

At the back of each of the ebooks are written and illustrated instructions for making the origami characters featured in the books.

If you love origami, you can make and use these characters to re-enact the Aesop’s Fables, or create your own stories. Below are some screenshots from the origami ebooks.
