Snail

[For 4-year-olds] Let’s try! Seasonal Origami (Snail)
Snail

Let me introduce a snail you often see when it rains.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and let’s make it.

With the colored side of the snail facing inward, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Make sharp creases.

Open it again, then fold the corners to the creases you just made to form small triangles.

Using the existing creases as guides, fold three times toward the center.

Align with the center line to form the snail’s body, flip it over, and fold the corner on the side that isn’t yet the body toward the center.

A small pocket will form—inflate it by folding to puff it up.

Fold the top corner down in half to make the tail.

Adjust the overall shape, and you’ll have a cute little snail.
