Penguin

A friendly, waddling penguin folded from a single diamond-shaped sheet in just a handful of quick folds.

Estimated Time: <5 minPaper: 15 cm x 15 cm (6 in) square paper

1Step 1

Start with the colored side facing up, with the paper in a diamond position (so a corner points up).Fold and unfold the paper in half diagonally (top corner to bottom corner). Then, turn the paper over.

2Step 2

Fold the top edges inward, but don’t fold all the way to the centerline. Leave a gap between the edges (see the next diagram for reference).

3Step 3

Turn the paper over.

4Step 4

Fold the side corners inward along the dotted lines.

5Step 5

Fold the bottom corner up, using the bottom corners of the flaps from Step 4 as a guide.

6Step 6

Fold the paper in half vertically, using the crease you made back in Step 1.

7Step 7

Make an outside reverse fold at the top corner to form the penguin’s head.
