Origami: How to fold Totoro

‘Totoro’ is one of the popular characters in the anime produced by Miyazaki Hayao.

 

It’s a big, fluffy, kind and mysterious forest inhabitant,

which you can see only when you are a child.

 

Let’s fold Totoro,

who not only children but also adults want to see at least once in their lives.

It becomes a little smaller than we expect so you can make the one

which is more like a real one

with big-size Origami paper of colored drawing paper!

 

Since both of them are three dimensional-shapes,

you can let them stand on the desk too!

 

It will be even better

if you make various Totoro such as a big one, a middle one and a small one!

 

Let’s give it a try!
