Penguin from Sumikko Gurashi

Re: [Sumikko Gurashi Penguin Origami] Slow Version

Here’s how to fold a loose and cute Sumikko Gurashi-style penguin.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper, some colored pens, and scissors.

Start by folding the origami paper into a square.

Open it once, then fold the left and right sides toward the center crease.

After making firm creases, hold the center down and fold both sides into triangles, puffing them up slightly as you go.

The key is to keep both sides symmetrical.

Make small cuts on the two layers at one tip on one side, then fold them inward.

Shape the figure, folding while letting the corners peek out a bit, and you’re done.

Use felt-tip pens to draw the face and other details—have fun creating your penguin!

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.

Perfect for summer! A penguin folded with two sheets

[Summer Origami] Easy and Cute Penguin Folding / Animal Origami Origami Penguin

Here’s a penguin you can make from two sheets of origami paper, featuring an adorable plump shape.

Prepare one large sheet, one smaller sheet, scissors, and glue.

First, use the smaller sheet to make the penguin’s face.

After creasing along the diagonal, fold the left and right sides in along the vertical line.

Open it up once, then fold the corners along the crease lines.

When the overall shape is folded, round the corners to finish.

Use colored pens to draw the facial expression.

For the body, fold the large sheet into a triangle, then fold the base of the body along the center crease.

When making the wings, snip slits with scissors and fold along the crease lines.

The key is to leave a wide area for the belly.

Finally, glue the face and body together to complete your penguin.

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!

A fox that can be folded into a whole body with a single sheet

[Origami] Easy and Cute Fox Folding Tutorial – A Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do [Origami]

I’m going to show you how to make a cute fox out of a single sheet of origami paper, with the whole body folded from just one piece! First, turn the paper over and fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

Fold both corners up toward the center.

Fold the model in half so that the parts you just folded end up on the outside.

Next, make a slight diagonal fold starting from the corner, and open the middle.

This part involves some fine work, so an adult should help.

Finally, tuck the tip inward and you’re done.

Use a pen or round stickers to draw the face!

An easy fox you can fold with just two sheets

Easy “fox” origami

Here’s how to make a fox with two sheets of origami paper that even a 3-year-old can fold.

First, fold one sheet into a triangle.

Next, fold the top part up just a little, then flip it over.

Fold the left and right corners up toward the center—this completes the face.

Now take the second sheet and fold it into a triangle the same way, then fold the triangle’s tip diagonally.

This makes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together, and your fox is done! Drawing the face with a pen or using round stickers is also cute, so I recommend it.

Have fun making it!
