Easy penguin

Here’s a cute penguin with a simple folding method that’s recommended even for three-year-olds.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle, and make a crease.

Flip it over front and back as you go, folding the corners so they meet at the center crease.

After folding the left and right sides toward the center, fold the wing sections into triangles and puff them out a bit to add dimension.

Fold the beak so that both sides are even, then round off the corners overall with small folds to finish.

It’s also fun to try making them with different colors of origami paper.

penguin ornament

Let me introduce a cute penguin ornament that looks adorable wherever you place it.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper, a felt-tip pen, and glue, and let’s get started.

We’ll fold it using the basic crane method, but for the parts where you puff up the paper, it’s best to go slowly and provide support while folding.

Open up the origami, and while puffing it along the crease lines, tuck it in to form the penguin’s body.

Folding this section evenly will make the ornament stable when displayed.

Finish by making the wings, beak, and feet.

Even just lining them up and looking at them makes for charming penguin ornaments.

Dancing Penguin

Origami toy “Pyoko-Pyoko Penguin”

Here is how to fold a dancing penguin origami that lets you enjoy a variety of movements.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and some colored pens, and let’s get started.

First, make creases as you fold.

Fold the full open corners.

Using the head area as the center, shape the whole model into a box-like form, aligning it with the creases you made at the beginning.

By carefully making inside and outside reverse folds, you’ll end up with a sturdy final model.

The feet also act like springs, so fold them firmly.

Once it’s finished, draw the penguin’s face and try playing with it together with the kids.

Cute and easy penguin

Look at this angry baby penguin!

Let me introduce an origami penguin with an adorable round shape.

After making a triangular crease, fold so that both ends become parallel.

Turn the paper over, fold the corners halfway toward the center, then fold them in half once more.

Fold both ends diagonally to form the penguin’s wings and body.

Adjust the shape, draw the penguin’s facial expression, and it’s complete.

By drawing varied expressions, you can create many different penguins.

Give it a try and have fun making them!

Plum Blossom Ornament

[Origami] Ume Blossom Ornament Made Together with a 3-Year-Old | “Origami” Ume Blossom created with a 3-year-old child.

Here’s an idea for making a “Plum Blossom Ornament” with origami.

There’s a cutting step, so please have scissors ready.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle and align the top corner with the center of the base.

At this point, press only the center to make a crease mark, then unfold without making a full fold.

Fold the top corner down to meet the crease mark, then fold the left and right corners up toward the corners of the folded-down triangle.

Flip the paper over, bring the left and right edges to the center, and fold neatly so that the left side is on the bottom.

Fold up the triangle on the back and return it to its original position, draw a cutting line, cut along it, and you’re done!

Penguin finger puppet

[Origami] Animals - Penguin - Penguin Finger Puppet

Here’s how to make a 3D penguin finger puppet you can wear on your finger.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and start by folding it into a triangle to make a crease.

Keep making creases by aligning the corners with each other.

Fold up so that the corner sticks out slightly beyond the edge, and the key is to keep folding so that the corners meet at the intersection points.

By making firm creases, you’ll give the beak and face a three-dimensional look that really brings out the penguin feel.

Finally, tuck the body area inward to puff it out slightly, and your penguin finger puppet is complete.

It can be fun to make them in different colors and play with them like a penguin family.
