Yes, adults are easily amused, and since their folding skills are not developed, they really do need the basics. Remember, the crane is NOT the place to begin with a group of more than 2 or 3. The jumping frog, from smaller and thicker paper, hence better jumpers, are a hit. Simple money folds, using the large sized bills available at the dollar type stores are folds that then they can turn into tips. Just being able to do something other than end up with wads of paper will make adults feel a sense of accomplishment, and have fun.
Just remember even if they are adults, most of them are just beginners. I teach the magazine cover box, and a frog to hop into it, ( this is either from a 3 by 5 index card or a business card), a simple money wallet from 8 1/2 by ll paper , and a simple noise maker to end off the class or program with a bang......Tell them they can give these to their children or grandchildren......oh, what fun! And you have got it made.....Dorothy Kaplan
