As one reviewer recently wrote, "This is a captivating craft set – one that creates a truly original and beautiful piece of artwork that can be enjoyed for a long time".

The kits includes 6 recycled cardboad sheets that are printed with such beautiful patterns of leaves and tree bark that you can hardly bring yourself to press out the pieces. But you will, as its such a pleasure to do.

You'll end up with 170 robust cardboard peices, including apples, birds and a birdhouse which you can make into your own tree of life. There is a pattern you can follow, but there's no need to follow it too closely. Making it your own is part of the fun.

The tree is 70cm tall.
