Origami for Kids - Animals

Kids love these cute origami animals, which can be made in all sizes from huge (use them as masks) to tiny. We list them roughly in order of difficulty, with the simplest models first.

Watch Tilly fold our cute origami elephant here!

NB: Please don't let your children loose on video sharing sites without supervision!

Ideas for using these origami animals:

Make a greetings card... dress them up with ribbon, bows, accessories, backing paper as appropriate
Tape them to a wooden spoon and use as puppets
Make with a very large piece of paper and turn into masks
Create a farm or other animal scene, sticking the models to a large piece of paper and drawing in the background
Make a mobile by stringing the models up with thread
Turn into a fridge magnet to give as a home-made gift
Fold a mini animal and use as a pencil topper
Stick to a strip of card to make a bookmark - another cute gift idea
Use as "pieces" in a home made board game
