How to make an Origami Bear

 

 

May managed to make these bears with only a little help. Its a good Origami make for Primary kids a bit too hard for Preschool. I have put  instructions below ,its a lot easier than it looks! Why not give it a go.



Start with a square and fold diagonally across. You will be left with a triangle like the one below. I have puts lines on the example to make it easier.



fold in half and unfold
.

Fold the left and right tips over towards each other so it looks like below.

 Next 2 folds

Fold the right and left tips outward at an angle so it looks like below

 

Next 3 folds in ,each ear and the bottom tip

Then turn over and fold the other side of the bottom tip up

 

 

Then make the final fold to finish the mouth!
