The use of two papers folded together to create pockets is so clever. It is amazing that simple folds lead to a great geometric model. It is helpful, though not required, if you are familiar with the Froebel base. The overall shape is a cuboctahedron, but it’s hard to see it. Don’t worry; you don’t need to understand a cuboctahedron to make and enjoy the model. Since the model is springy, the 6 pointed star shape gap can compress together.
