500 Fluorescent Origamis (9780228101499)

The Guardian newspaper called origami "2016's craft trend" and reported that sales of origami books have surged as customers look for alternatives to the popular coloring books. Like coloring, origami presents children and adults with a creative meditative challenge away from the screen.

Origami has no age barrier and benefits everyone, from children to the elderly. Studies show that origami activates the whole brain. It develops eye-hand coordination, sequencing skills, attention skills, temporal spatial skills, mathematical reasoning, language skills and patience. It also promotes hand and finger dexterity.

Here are three colorful stocking stuffer-sized books ideal for the holidays.
