Once you have mastered the flowers, you'll find 400 pages of coloured and patterned square paper sheets that are perforated allowing you to easily remove them and start folding. Origami is a relaxing and mindful activity that has proven benefits to mental wellbeing, as does being surrounded by nature, so the fusion of these two subjects is a pure delight.
