I liked the directions in this a lot. It was very easy to follow. The shapes are fantastic, and I'd love to get some students in on making some of the modular shapes (since I don't have the patience to make 90 copies..)

A very calming and beautiful activity. The making of these balls, the frustration of everything falling apart, the satisfaction when things fit and the undeniable beauty in paper.

These modular origami designs are so fun and chill to fold. The book delivers on its promises of getting your brain to slow down. Today I folded a 30-piece sphere and it was perfect to do while listening to an audio book.
None of the folds here are difficult and the instructions are easy to follow. The hard part for me was wrapping my brain around the 3D geometry involved in correctly putting the modules together. A lot of the models are scalable--12, 24, or 30 units--so there is plenty of room to play around.
I would recommend this for math teachers to use as a project or homework, or for origami enthusiasts who would like some awesome modular designs to fold.
