Origami Koala

This very cute koala is a simple model to fold and makes a

perfect project for beginners who are looking to push

themselves just a little.

You could make a koala collage scene: use brown paper

to cut out a tree trunk and green paper to cut eucalyptus

leaves. Assemble your pieces together on a blue

background paper.

1. With colored side down, fold your

square in half on the diagonal.

2. Fold one of the top points down to

the bottom, as shown.

3. Now fold the other side

down.

4. Begin to form your koala’s

ears by folding one of the ﬂaps

up and out at an angle, as

shown.

5. Now fold the other ﬂap out too.

Crease well.
