Easy way to make mushrooms

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Origami Mushroom Tutorial♪

Open the paper after folding it twice to make a square.

Fold the top two corners in so they meet at the center of the paper.

Turn the paper over, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the horizontal crease.

Turn the paper over again, and fold the left and right sides in to meet the vertical crease in the center.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top corner, then fold it back down at the point where the color changes, making a valley fold.

On the rectangular section, tuck the top left and right corners inward to make creases, open them, then squash-fold those sections into triangles while aligning both side edges with the center.

Finally, tuck the remaining corner inward and round the overall shape slightly—your mushroom is complete.

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.

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!

Peekaboo Penguin

[Origami] How to fold a Peekaboo Penguin (it can stand on its own) – How to make it [Sea Series]

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.

Lift one corner up to just slightly before the center line, then fold both edges of the lifted section upward at a slight diagonal.

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!
