Origami for Kids - Birds

origami penguin origami owl 1 origami owl 2 origami duckling origami chick

We have all sorts of origami birds here, and we are adding more all the time! You will find instructions for the traditional "peace" crane, two types of owls (one easy and fun for younger kids, one more "realistic" and more appropriate for older kids)and some of the cutest origami penguins you will find!

Ideas for using these origami birds:

Make a greetings card... dress them up with ribbon, bows, accessories, backing paper as appropriate
Tape them to a wooden spoon or a chopstick and use as puppets
Create a farm or zoo scene, sticking the models to a large piece of paper and drawing in the background
Make a mobile or hanging 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
Decorate a notice board at home or at school
Jazz up your breakfast boiled egg by adding an origami animal with double sided sticky tape
Make adult and "baby" birds by using different sizes of origami paper
