[Kids] Let’s Make Origami! A Collection of Easy Goldfish Folding Methods

Wobbling Goldfish

Action Origami “Wobbly Goldfish”

This goldfish origami can be moved to recreate the gentle swaying motion of swimming.

The folding process is similar to the yakko-san, pinwheel, and trick boat models up to a certain point, so it should be easy to get started.

Every part is three-dimensional, and when you move the tail fin, it looks as if the fish is actually swimming, so you can enjoy not only making it but also playing with it.

You can also make it cute by adding eyes with round stickers or a felt-tip pen.

Be sure to give it a try!

Origami easy goldfish folding method/how to make

This goldfish is one of the easiest origami goldfish to make.

Most goldfish origami usually starts by folding into a triangle, but this one is a bit unconventional because it begins with a square fold.

First, fold the paper in half to make a rectangle, then fold it diagonally along the diagonal.

After that, fold down the white section—this will become the tail fin.

Then make a small fold for the head, and it’s already done.

It’s an avant-garde style of origami, almost like a painting by Matisse or Picasso.
