How to make an origami elephant?
Prepare two pieces of paper in a square shape. The head should be 4 cm smaller. That is, if the sides of a large square are 10 cm each, and a small one, respectively, 6 cm.
Folding the Head of an Elephant
Place a smaller piece of paper in front of you.
Fold two opposite corners together to define the middle.
Open the paper. Align the right side and the left side along the center fold.
Redirect the corners from the middle outward.
Fold down a small area of the top corner.
Turn the part over, you can see that you get an origami elephant head with ears and a trunk. Glue on the eyes and draw folds on the trunk. If desired, you can do without folds, if they remind you of a sad smile.
Folding the Body
For the body, use a larger square piece.
Fold it in half, connecting the opposite sides.
Then open and connect the other two sides to make cross folds.
Open the paper and fold along the sides, about a third to the fold area.
Fold the resulting part in half, connecting the top to the bottom.
On one side, bend a small corner. The body is ready. You can also attach a tail to it.
Glue the head to the body to make such an origami elephant for kids.
