REVIEW
This is a fun activity book perfect for use on Sundays or for Family Home Evenings. Origami is quite popular with kids and can certainly be enjoyed by teenagers and adults. The book contains designs from the Book of Mormon, Church history and Latter-day temples. There are three skill levels available. Level 1 is more than challenging enough for beginners, these designs usually only have a couple pages of instructions, whereas the more complex designs have more. I appreciated the basics covered in the introduction since I'm fairly new to origami. I tried the Tree of Life and the Sword of Laban and managed to complete them both. They even looked like what they were supposed to. An enjoyable book for families who enjoy doing activities together.
