| Shape Making Puzzles |

| In
shape forming puzzles the object is to fold a sheet of
paper to match the outline of a target shape or motif. The puzzle may also add
additional requirements, eg that the solution must only
use a set of pre-existing creases or that the solution
must be achieved using the minimum number of active
folds.
