Here are directions for making origami cats and dogs!
I do these with kinders - it is a perfect introduction to folding. After we make one of each, as a class, I let the make as many as they can for rest of the class. I make sure to supply different sized paper - kids loving making families (mom, dad, baby, brother, sister) and markers to add eyes, noses, spots or stripes. Often the dogs end up with laser vision and purple eyes - it is hysterical.
For students that start to reach ultimate fun with cats and dogs I challenge them to make up different folds to make other animals. This year I got an elephant, turkey(picture above), spider, and some reindeer!
Dog:
|
Start with a square piece of paper. |
|
Pick up one corner and pull diagonally across paper - match up corners and crease. |
|
You should have a triangle. (make sure the long side of the triangle is at the top) |
|
Pick up top corner - pull towards you and then down. |
|
Crease. Point of ear should hand off the dogs head. |
|
Repeat with opposite corner. |
|
This is where I stop with Kinders - but if you have awesome folders, try the next few steps! |
|
To add extra detail - pull up top layer of dog's chin. |
|
Pullup as far as desired - crease down. |
|
Pick up top of triangle you just folded and bring down to meet folded edge. |
|
You should get a tiny triangle - here is your dogs snout. |
|
Add some details! |
Cat:
