Perfect for summer! A penguin folded with two sheets

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

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.
Cute and easy 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!

Stack green and yellow origami so the colors show, fold it into a triangle, and make a crease.
Fold both sides of the paper toward the center line.
Then partially open the folded corners outward halfway to create the corn husk.
Adjust the balance between the corn kernels and the husk, and you’re done.
Try drawing a face to make your own original summer corn!

For the hot summer, a great recommendation for preschoolers is the “Munch-Munch Goldfish” origami.
Fold it, open it up, and move its mouth, and it looks just like a goldfish from a scooping game swimming around.
Use cool-colored origami paper for a fresh look that instantly boosts the summer vibe.
Once finished, kids can show their goldfish to friends or use them for pretend play—the possibilities are endless.
Many children get hooked and say, “I want to make another one!” fostering imagination while using their fingertips.
Display them on the wall to instantly create a nostalgic atmosphere.
It’s an origami idea full of seasonal charm—fun to fold, delightful to display, and memorable too.
Penguin you can make with two sheets of origami paper
I will show you how to make a cute penguin that feels cool for summer.
Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue, and let’s get started.
We’ll begin with the penguin’s face.
Take one sheet of origami and fold one corner by about one third.
Flip it over, then fold the left, right, and bottom edges to form the shape of the penguin’s face.
For the body, fold the left and right sides of the origami diagonally, flip it over, then fold up the tip of the bottom section to finish.
Attach the face and body together, then add the beak, eyes, and facial expression to create your cute penguin.
Ice cream for 3-year-olds

Let me introduce a cold and tasty ice cream craft.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper, construction paper, crayons, and glue, and let’s get started.
Fold the origami paper in half.
Fold the left and right corners toward the center line.
Glue the finished ice cream cone onto the construction paper, and have the children draw the ice cream with crayons to complete it.
It’s also recommended to prepare round stickers or fruit stickers for toppings.
Be sure to try making this delicious-looking ice cream!
