Paper animals. Origami paper patterns for beginners animals, cat, dog, hare, fox. Pig from a top hat

What can be done using origami technique? Paper animals make great animals. Children can also be involved in this activity. The assembly diagrams are quite simple, kids will be delighted with their new hobby.

Origami paper animals: assembly diagrams

We suggest making a chanterelle first.

Prepare a sheet of paper and fold it first once diagonally, and then a second time (Illustrations 1 and 2).
Then fold the left and right corners of the resulting triangle from the center line (Illustration 3).
Fold the piece in half (Illustration 4).
Unscrew the top half of the figure a little and divide its top into two parts (Illustration 5).
Unfold the spread and turn the piece on its side (Illustration 6).
Fold the right corner (Illustration 7).

To make the craft completely complete, draw a face for the fox.

Cute paper pig using origami technique

The master class will tell you, from paper.

Animals can be absolutely any color. It will be better for the child if you take bright colored paper.

First, a rectangular blank is made. To do this, a sheet of paper is folded in half lengthwise. To make the pig beautiful, it is better to use a regular leaf rather than a square one.

To facilitate further assembly of the craft, make an accordion from the blank in three folds. Then flatten the rectangle. As a result, you should have four fold lines.

Now pull the left edges so that the bottom and top of this part are straightened. The purpose of this movement is to make a pointed rectangle shape. Repeat the same action with the other side (picture 1).

Turn it over and fold it in half lengthwise (picture 2).

Unscrew the sides of the side triangle (picture 3).

Do the same on the other side.

Fold the right triangle inside (picture 4).

Fold the tip of the left triangle inward (picture 5).

Raise the bottom of the figure as in picture 6.

Draw a face and straighten the paper.

Our origami pig is ready!

Paper origami: savannah animals

Using this technique you can make not only cute animals, but also real predators. We offer you a master class on how to make origami from paper.

Savannah animals include zebras, giraffes, lions and many others. We think that children will find it interesting to make a lion. Therefore, take yellow paper.

Make a diagonal fold line (picture 1).
Tuck the top and bottom parts to the center line (picture 2).
Bend the corners of the figure slightly inward (picture 3). This is done diagonally.
Fold the top and bottom of the figure onto the reverse side diagonally (see Illustration 4 for more details).
Bend half of the figure back (picture 5).
Visually draw a diagonal line that intersects the two halves of the figure. Fold the front part of the part inward along this line (picture 6).
Bend down half of the right side (picture 7).
Fold down the part shown in picture 8.
Fold in the bottom triangle of the part (picture 9).
Wrap the right side diagonally (picture 10).
Bend back half of the tip (picture 11).
Fold half of the tip in the opposite direction again (picture 12).
Tuck in a small corner (picture 13).

The cute predator is ready. All that remains is to draw his eyes, mouth, nose and mustache.

Paper craft tip: Origami (savannah animals) will look best if you use paper that is white on one side and orange on the other. This makes the mane stand out more clearly.

Furry animals

After the predators, I want to make some cute crafts. Therefore, it would be appropriate to describe the procedure for assembling an origami cat from paper.

Making animals (scheme of work).

Prepare a sheet of paper. To do this, roll it diagonally twice (Illustration 1).
Flatten the sheet and tuck the top and bottom corners to its center line (Illustration 2).
Bend the lower and upper right parts a few millimeters (Illustration 3).
Turn the figure over (Illustration 4).
Fold the bottom and top of the right side of the part to the fold line (Illustration 5).
Tuck half of the figure (Illustration 6).
Unscrew the top half (Illustration 7).
Wrap the “wings” of the part, as in illustration 8.
Straighten the “nose” of the figure, as in illustration 9.
Fold the bottom triangle (Illustration 10).
Tuck the “ears” on both sides (Illustration 11).
The top part should also be removed back (Illustration 12).
Fold in part of the bottom triangle as shown in illustration 13.
Spread the “wings” of the lower triangle (Illustration 14).

Draw the kitten's face (eyes, mouth, nose, antennae). If you wish, you can add a forelock.

The craft is ready!

Paper rabbit

To make a rabbit, you need to assemble the usual blank (pictures 1, 2 and 3). Then tuck the protruding triangle twice in different directions and turn the resulting figure over (pictures 4, 5 and 6). Now fold the piece in half, first lengthwise and then widthwise (pictures 7 and 8).

All that remains is to form the rabbit's ears. To do this, the right triangle needs to be cut and the halves unfolded (pictures 9 and 10).

Draw a face and the craft is ready!

The simplest origami models are animal faces. Even children 3-4 years old can do them. The basis for such crafts is the basic shape of origami “triangle”. When explaining to children how to make a triangle, you can do without complex geometric terms. We simply fold a “kerchief” (a square) into a “kerchief” (actually a triangle). The faces made of paper very vaguely resemble the animals we make. Therefore, it is necessary to further decorate them - draw eyes, nose, mouth, etc. with felt-tip pens. If you are doing work with older children, then you can not draw the details, but make an applique.

Having made such faces, you can put them in an origami house, send them on a journey on a fun train, make finger puppets or set up a tabletop paper theater.

Origami animal faces: cat.

Let's bend our triangle in half, marking the center line. Then we'll expand it again.

Let's turn the figure over. Fold the triangle back at the top of the muzzle.

All that remains is to draw the details.

Origami animal faces: dog.

Let's make a basic triangle shape.

Bend and then unfold the triangle, marking the center line.

Focusing on the center line, at an arbitrary angle with the sides of the triangle folded down, as shown in the photograph.

Bend back the triangles at the bottom and top of the muzzle.

All that remains is to draw the eyes and nose with a felt-tip pen.

Origami animal faces: fox and wolf.

Bend the edges upward from the center of the triangle at an arbitrary angle, as shown in the photograph.

Let's turn the figure over. The fox's face is ready. All that remains is to draw the details.

The origami wolf face is made in the same way, but from gray paper.

Origami animal faces: mouse and bear.

Now let's make the faces more complicated. Children 3-4 years old are unlikely to cope with these faces. But for 5-6 years old it’s just right.

Let's make a basic triangle shape.

Fold the triangle in half.

Let's expand the triangle. Bend the corner, as shown in the figure, from the center of the figure (we marked the center in the previous step)

Bend the corner in the opposite direction. This is a mouse ear.

We will also make the second ear.

Let's turn the figure over. Bend the triangle at the top of the muzzle back, as shown in the figure.

Bend the corners of the mouse ears back to make them more rounded. You can use scissors to do this and round off the ears.

Let's draw a face.

The bear is made in almost the same way as a mouse. But we make the bear’s ears smaller (cut it off with scissors) and bend the triangle at the bottom, forming a heavy bear jaw.

Origami animal faces: hare and frog.

Let's make a basic triangle shape.

Bend the triangle in half and straighten it, marking the center.

Fold the base of the triangle up.

Bend the small triangle at the top of the figure down.

Fold the bottom edges of the figure up, aligning them with the center line.

Let's turn the figure over. The origami hare face is ready.

Let's color the face with felt-tip pens.

The frog is made in the same way as the hare. But we need to trim and round off the “ears” with scissors so that we can get eyes. And at the bottom of the muzzle we bend the triangle back - the muzzle will become more round.

Simple animals for children in technology origami- this is entertainment for the child and a reason for parents to teach him something new. The only materials you need are colored single-sided paper, scissors, glue, a black pen or felt-tip pen. The result is easily recognizable funny faces: cat, dog, panda and elephant.

How to make paper animals

You can assemble simple figures in just a few minutes. Be sure to seat your child next to you. Take the necessary materials and go ahead.

Origami panda - instructions for assembly with children

Take a black single-sided sheet of paper measuring 9x9 cm. Fold it in half in diagonal directions. Place it in front of you with the white side facing out.

Focusing on one of the central folds, bend the opposite ends towards the middle, not reaching exactly half the distance to the center.

Fold the workpiece in half outward along the transverse strip.

Bend the lower sharp tip upward. Bend the top layer down. Hide the tip inside. The panda has black ears and a nose. All that remains is to make the eyes. Cut out two circles from black paper and make white centers. Glue it to the craft.

Simple paper elephant

There is nothing complicated about assembling an elephant head using the origami technique. Take a 15x15 cm square of gray color and follow these steps:

Fold the sheet in half diagonally to form a triangle. Divide it lengthwise into three equal parts so that they can be folded together to form a figure as in the photo.
Bend the bottom part up.
Bend the upper end forward and down so that it is on the outside - this is the future trunk, and the ears are on the sides.
Finish the trunk by making a couple of folds at the top. The paper is folded like an accordion.
Draw eyes on the animal or glue on colored paper.

Origami dog

You can create a funny dog in just a few simple steps. Fold a 9x9 cm single-sided brown sheet along a diagonal line to form a triangle.

Fold the side corners of the triangle together and press the center fold well.

Direct the sides towards the formed center so that the ends are at the top and you get a multi-layered rhombus.

Position the workpiece - the outer ends of the diamond are at the bottom. Bend them up diagonally.

Bend the top corner down. Turn the figure over to the other side.

Form the ears by making squares from the triangles sticking out on the sides.

Bend the bottom of the outer layer upward. Point the tip down.

Turn the dog's face over to the wrong side again. Bend the free lower end upward so that it is aligned with the outer end and is not visible on the front side. Place the side pieces inside out.

Turn the dog's face over. Draw the eyes and mouth.

Cat and paper cat

It’s difficult to touch on the topic of animals using origami technique without passing by cats. Let's make a cat. Repeat the same steps as with the dog until the workpiece is turned over to the other side.

The ears are already ready. We fold the lower part like a dog's, folding the outer layer up. The tip is down again.

On the wrong side, hide the second bottom end and the side parts. Turn it over. Draw eyes, muzzle, mustache.

And finally, an easy version of a cat. Fold the orange 9x9cm square in half to make a triangle.

Lightly mark the middle by making a barely noticeable transverse fold. Fold the top corner towards it. Lift the sides of the triangle up.

A large selection of ideas for what paper animals can be. All work with step-by-step photo instructions.

Animal crafts occupy most of the site’s work, and the process of creating them is not completed. As usual, so that you don’t have to look all over the site for interesting options, I collect tops where I post a short review and photos with links to a step-by-step master class. Let me clarify again that the links do not go beyond the site. You won’t have to switch to any illegal resources.

Since there are many animals made of paper, I will divide them into categories, depending on the technique used to create this or that craft.

Accordion paper animals

Accordion Bunny

The whole bunny is in the shape of a round accordion, this is a great creative activity for children, room decoration for themed events, Easter.

Pig made from paper accordions

Accordion folding is a useful and fun technique for children of all ages. There are already many different characters on the site made in this way, only the heads and sometimes the limbs differ.

Bunny made from a complex accordion

Above is a hare and a simple accordion, which is made by folding paper into a small fold. This option is more complicated; the accordion consists of two strips intertwined in a certain way.

Paper bear

A large and imposing bear can also be made from accordion paper. Moreover, it can be made with a minimum of materials. All you need is:

Brown cardboard;
Some orange paper;
Stationery (glue, scissors, pencil, markers)

Funny sheep

The work uses a complex accordion, which is also rectangular in shape. But its complexity does not lie in its execution; there is simply an even simpler version of the accordion. But both are ideal for creating paper animals.

Rolled bunny

The paper roll bunny consists almost entirely of rolled strips of paper. This technique is easy and useful for children.

Fox from a roll

The original paper fox is made from a paper roll. But you can simplify the task by using a toilet paper roll. The work is not at all difficult, but it will require some perseverance to make several details that complement the fox.

Simple hedgehog from a roll

Even the smallest children can make a hedgehog made from a toilet paper roll. After all, the base is already ready, all that remains is to paint it, glue it, add details, and you will get an interesting character, a frequent guest of fairy tales and cartoons. Try making such a hedgehog with your children, they will like the process and the result of the work.

Hedgehog from a sleeve

Despite the fact that there is already one example of a hedgehog made from this material, I present to you another idea of what a hedgehog made from a toilet paper roll could be. The creation process itself is a little more complicated compared to the previous hedgehog from a sleeve, but the result is worth it. The hedgehog turns out to be original, all so prickly, prickly and funny.

Paper squirrel

The squirrel is not a simple one, but with a real acorn, which it holds in its paws. This craft will be an excellent option for an autumn holiday in kindergarten.

Pigs from the bushing

There are 2 ways to create pigs in the review, although this is not the limit. There are many variations, both in color and in the method of processing the sleeve. And, of course, instead of a sleeve, you can quite successfully use ordinary rolls, that is, paper rolled into a cylinder.

Bush dog

We continue our collection of crafts made from waste materials, and this time it’s a dog made from a toilet paper roll. The sleeve is an excellent basis for creating a wide variety of characters, even dogs can be completely different. I present to you two options for dogs, very light and cute.

Bat

She specifically clarified that this is also an animal, that is, the family of bats, but from the order of animals and something else. The craft is usually relevant for Halloween.

Regular mouse from a roll

Despite the fact that there are already a lot of different mice on the site, there is no mouse made from a toilet paper roll yet. Therefore, this review will present one of the options for creating a mouse, which, in my opinion, is very funny and cute.

Paper tiger cub

A tiger made from a toilet paper roll, or from any roll, like all other crafts made from this material, looks interesting and bright, and is easy and quick to make.

Cat from a top hat

From a sleeve or a paper roll you can make such a wonderful, flirty fashionista - a cat. The process itself is extremely simple, there are many variations for creativity.

Mythical animals made of paper

A bright and beautiful paper dragon is a wonderful craft that children can make with their own hands. It consists of a voluminous body with several halves of circles, as well as two parts in the form of a head and a tail, which can be drawn or use ready-made template images

Paper Toothless

This wonderful Toothless made of paper consists of simple parts - a cone body and a head with wings and paws, for which a template is provided. There are many ways to make such a dragon, but most often these are complex origami and designs. This same craft is ideal for children; they will enjoy the process of creating Toothless and the interesting toy itself.

The character is suitable for two sections - crafts from vtolk and crafts of mythical animals from paper. I will place it here, since it is one of the brothers of Toothless and the popular cartoon.

Crafts of the snake Gorynych

The three-headed Serpent Gorynych made of paper is not the easiest craft. One child may not be able to cope with it; adult help is needed. And it’s even better if it’s a team effort, where each child makes one of the parts of this gorgeous fairy-tale character.

A paper deer using a template is a simple craft that does not require much effort or time. You can make a lot of such deer, both in realistic beige-brown colors and in bright, sometimes unexpected colors.

The ability to create paper figures will not be superfluous in life, especially if you have children.

Origami paper animals are the best children's toys, although they are short-lived. Such animals can decorate a home, becoming unique decorations, and the process of creating them can take even the most restless child for a long time.

If you don't have the skill, you can start with a paper swan. This is the simplest DIY paper craft. You can also use other origami paper animal patterns.

First you can make a swan using one sheet of paper.

To do this, you need to take a sheet in the shape of an even square and bend it in half diagonally.
When the line has acquired sufficient clarity, the sheet is returned to its original state.
Then the parts of the paper that are located below are brought to the created line.
After this, the sheet is turned over and the procedure is repeated. The lower corners are brought to the line.
The resulting figure is divided in half and the bottom corner is brought to the top.
To make a swan head, the thinnest corner is folded down.
Then the entire structure is bent in half again, but on its own side.

This is how the swan neck is formed. She rises and her head moves to the side.

To make the swan's head more expressive, the inner folds unfold and fold along the fold lines.
Then the beak is folded - the bird is ready.

Of course, you can make more than just swans. Today there are various patterns of origami paper animals for beginners.

Of course, this type of paper origami for beginners, when animals are made, is easier to create than volumetric origami of paper animals for beginners, for example, the same swan, only created using modular technology. Such toys turn out to be very beautiful and interesting, for example, a hare or a toad, although they take quite a long time to put together, since each component is made separately and subsequently fastened together.

Volumetric figures

To learn how to make three-dimensional origami animals from paper, you can search the Internet for a master class where people with experience show how to work in a modular style or provide diagrams.

There are many ready-made projects for a frog, wolf, dog, cat and many other animals. The whole process is described step by step. By strictly following the instructions, even a beginner can do this activity.

A voluminous swan can be made using satin ribbons. The bird turns out to be very beautiful, elegant, and most importantly, it will please the eyes for much longer. But creating a swan from ribbons is incredibly difficult because ribbons don't hold their shape like paper.

Photo lessons for beginners with step-by-step instructions will help you make a three-dimensional animal.

You can not only fold animals out of paper, but also make a kite. This Chinese toy is very loved by children: they enjoy watching the snake wriggle in the sky under gusts of wind.

To make a kite you need to have:

For the frame - tubes or slats. The materials should not be heavy, otherwise the kite will not rise into the sky. You can also adapt branches.
Paper, cellophane or light fabric are suitable for the surface material for the kite. They should be selected based on the weather outside the window. If it is very windy outside, you can use fabric, and if there is only a slight breeze, then paper or cellophane.
You also need a reel. Anything you can wrap a rope around will do.
Strong thread or rope, as well as material for creating the tail.

The “monk” snake is very easy to make, and models of wild or domestic animals are made using the same principle.

How to make origami animals out of paper, for example, a snake? You will need a thick sheet of A4 format, PVA glue, thread and scissors.

Step-by-step instruction:

A square is formed from a piece of paper.
The square is bent diagonally. The longer side of the triangle is turned towards itself.
The free corner of the triangle is pulled towards the fold to align the lines.
Turn the craft over and repeat the process.
The corner that has become free stretches away from itself towards the previously outlined bend.
Turn the craft over again and repeat the process.
Then the very first bend should be straightened - the base is ready.
A 30-centimeter thread is cut, treated with glue and inserted into the resulting pockets. Until the thread dries, the toy should not be touched.

To form the tail of the snake, you can take thin threads of 50 centimeters each. This is the most optimal length for flight. Suitable threads for knitting. You need 5-6 of them. Then the threads are tied into a tassel. It should be secured in such a way that the tail is at the tip. Glue and a piece of paper are used to secure it. A skein of thread is attached for control - the toy is completed.
