A T. rex you can stand up and play with

Cat’s Origami Lessons: Easy for Kids! “Tyrannosaurus” — Origami T. rex

I’ll show you a very simple way to fold a Tyrannosaurus! You only need one sheet of origami paper.

First, flip it over so the back side is up and place a corner facing you, then fold using this style.

Fold the inner bottom corners diagonally toward the center so the tips stick out to the outside.

Turn the white side horizontally, then fold so the protruding corners on both sides connect straight to the tip.

Turn it back and fold in half so the white part is on the inside.

Fold the narrow tip slightly diagonally, about one-third of the way, to make a crease.

Open and squash-fold along the crease, and finally draw the face and patterns with a pen or crayon—your Tyrannosaurus is complete!

Plesiosaurus

Easy Origami Dinosaur: How to Make a Plesiosaurus (Long-Necked Dinosaur) ~How to make an easy origami plesiosaurus~ #shorts

We’ll show you how to fold a Plesiosaurus using a single sheet of origami paper! First, start with the traditional crane base.

From the diamond shape on one side, continue folding as you would for a crane to form the legs.

On the opposite side, fold both edges to the center line, flip it over, and make an inside reverse fold at the tip.

Once you adjust the shape, your Plesiosaurus is complete! Since there are many delicate steps, children who find it difficult should work together with an adult.

You’ll end up with a small, cute dinosaur, so have fun making it with your kids.

Dinosaur Gaburincho

Moving origami toy “Dinosaur Gaburincho”

I’ll show you how to fold a dinosaur whose mouth moves.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper and round stickers or a pen.

First, flip the paper over and fold it in half.

Fold the near edge to the center crease twice.

Do the same on the opposite side, then open it and rotate the paper 90 degrees.

Again, fold toward the center line, then open it once.

Make guide creases by folding the left and right edges: fold the left edge to the second line from the right, and the right edge to the left line.

Next, fold the left and right corners in to meet the center, and tuck those folded corners inside.

Fold along the second line to make a triangle, and valley-fold the outer edges.

Flip it over; fold the triangle inward so one side becomes the head and the other becomes the jaw.

Finally, draw the face with round stickers or a pen, and you’re done!
