[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.

A cute penguin you can make with a single sheet of origami paper

[Made with one sheet of origami paper] Easy and cute penguin folding method | Origami Penguin | Animal

Here’s a cute penguin you can make with just one sheet of origami paper—perfect for three-year-olds.

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

Fold the corners along the center line; you’ll be flipping the paper over to fold on both the front and back.

Next, fold the left and right sides toward the central vertical line to form the base of the penguin’s wings.

To give the wings movement and a three-dimensional look, make sure to crease firmly.

After checking that both sides are balanced, fold the tip to round out the overall shape of the penguin, and you’re done.

It might also be fun to make them in different colors and give each penguin a name.
