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.

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

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!
