Origami Dog Face

The origami dog face is a simple animal that you can make from folded paper.  It looks a lot like a dog with floppy ears. It's easy enough for kids to fold as well and they are sure to love it!

Origami Dog Step 1:Start with a square piece of paper.  If it is colored paper, put the colored side face down on the table as shown below. Then fold along the diagonal to give a triangle.

Origami Dog Step 2:Now fold the corners together and unfold, to give a crease as shown. Then fold the dog ears down, using the crease line as a guide.

Origami Dog Step 3:Next fold the top and bottom of the head, away from you.  The dog is done! If you like, you can draw eyes, a nose and a mouth.
