Origami: How to fold a Dinosaur 2

Boys always love dinosaurs.

I often see excitement in boys glittering eyes

in the museum when they see them.

Girls might be a little scared of them.

Both boys and girls can enjoy making them with origami paper.

And why don’t you compare the one you make and the one

in an illustrated reference book, after you make it?

How to make a Dinosaur 1   Stegosaur

※Get two sheets of origami paper ready,

since we make head, back part and body part separately.

Head and back part is a smaller one and the body part is a bigger one.

１．We will fold the head and back part first.

Fold and make a crease along the dotted line to meet ★and ★ part.

２．Do the valley fold on the right top,

and do the mountain fold on the left down, along the dotted lines.

３．And it’s done!

４．Now we will make a body part.  Fold it in half twice to make creases.

Fold four corners to the middle along the dotted lines.

５．Cut at 1/6 from the edge of both sides.  Fold it in half.

６．Fold both sides to make triangles, along the dotted lines.

Fold them the same way for the other side too.

７．And it’s done!

８．Put the head and back part into the body part.
