Peekaboo Penguin

[Origami] How to fold a Peekaboo Penguin (it can stand on its own) – How to make it [Sea Series]

Here’s a super cute way to fold a penguin that’s perfect to attach to letters or cards! First, place the origami paper with the back side facing up and fold it into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Lift one corner up to just slightly before the center line, then fold both edges of the lifted section upward at a slight diagonal.

Fold both corners of that folded section inward.

Turn it over so the white side is facing you, and fold along the center line twice to shape the face.

Next, use a 2.5 cm piece of origami paper to make the hands.

Start with a basic “zabuton” fold, then fold both corners diagonally to shape the hands.

Make two of these.

Finally, glue the hands on, and add eyes and a mouth with round stickers or similar—done!

The opening and closing mouth is so cute! Let me introduce a fun idea for a chompy little fish.

Fish often appear on the dining table, but they also show up a lot in anime, picture books, fingerplay, and songs.

This time, let’s make an adorable fish with a mouth that opens and closes using origami! You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

Solid-color origami looks lovely, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami will give your fish extra personality.
