Put one square in front of you and work through the folding instructions step by step. Because the coat and face are already printed on, the colour ends up in the right place once the last crease is made. The two square sizes give you animals of different sizes, which makes the finished herd livelier than a row of identical cows.

The maker suggests the cows as desk decoration, as characters in a farmyard adventure, or simply as something small that makes you smile. The pack says as much in English: the idea is to fill your desk with a herd of mini paper Highland cows.

If you like Highland cattle, this gives you fifty of them, made by hand rather than bought as finished figures. The kit appeals to craft and origami fans, to animal lovers and to anyone who enjoys furnishing a desk with small things. As a present it works for birthdays, for Christmas, as a small something to bring along, or for an office Secret Santa.

Take your time with the first cow and follow the instructions closely. As the coat and face are printed on already, you need no scissors, glue or pens, just a clear stretch of table.

Split the herd up: a few cows on the desk, a few on a shelf, one tucked into a greetings card as a surprise. For gifting, the flat box is handy. At 14 x 22.2 x 0.4 cm and 85 g it needs very little wrapping paper and slips easily behind a larger card.

How many Highland cows can I fold? The kit contains 50 pre-printed origami squares and each one becomes a Highland cow. The squares come printed in two sizes.
