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!

How to make easy oden

[Made in February] Oden

Recommended for those who want to make an oden pot packed with lots of ingredients! Prepare as many sheets of origami as you can in colors that match typical oden ingredients.

For example, for daikon radish, take a beige sheet of origami, cut it into a half-sized rectangle, fold it in half, fold the corners, and draw lines with a crayon to finish.

For konnyaku, simply fold a small piece of origami into a triangle and add a pattern.

For kombu, fold a black sheet of origami three times to make a small rectangle, then stick a thin strip of yellow origami down the center.

Finally, glue all the pieces you made onto a sheet of construction paper cut into a pot shape, and your oden pot is complete.

Try making and adding any other favorite ingredients with your own creative twists!

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.

Cozy Penguin

Origami [Cozy Penguin] Origami Penguin

Here’s how to fold an origami penguin that can also wear a hat and scarf.

First, fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

With a corner pointing down, fold up the top layer so about 2 centimeters stick out, then fold it down along the edge.

Fold the edge you just made in half to make a crease, then fold the bottom corner up to that crease to set a guideline.

Next, fold the other corner up toward the front crease.

Fold the tip of the corner down just a little.

Fold up along the crease you made earlier, align the edges, and fold the whole piece in half.

Finally, adjust the shape to look like a penguin and draw the eyes with a pen to finish.

Try making a hat and scarf for it, too!

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.

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!
