Origami is a fun way to make cool shapes using just a piece of paper. Today, we’re going to learn how to fold a cute origami fox. It’s easy and perfect for doing with your family or friends!

What You Need

To make your origami fox, you’ll need:

  • A square piece of paper (orange is great for a fox, but any color will do)
  • A flat surface to fold on

Step 1: Get Your Paper Ready

Start by placing your square paper with the white side facing up. This is where we’ll begin our fox.

Step 2: Make the First Fold

  1. Take the bottom corner of the paper and fold it up to the top corner.
  2. Make sure the corners match perfectly.
  3. Press down the fold in the middle and out to the sides to make a nice, sharp edge.

Step 3: Fold Again

  1. Open the paper and turn it around.
  2. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner again, just like before.
  3. Press this fold well to keep its shape.

Step 4: Fold the Side Corners

  1. Take the corners on the sides and fold them up to the top point.
  2. Start from the bottom and work your way to the sides for easier folding.

Step 5: Flip and Fold

  1. Flip the paper over.
  2. Fold the paper in half, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the top edge.
  3. You should now have a triangle shape with three flaps pointing up.

Step 6: Make the Fox’s Ears

  1. Take the top corner of the triangle and fold it down towards the bottom point.
  2. Press this fold well to make the fox’s ears.

Step 7: Shape the Fox’s Face

  1. Find the second flap under the first one and fold it upwards.
  2. Use your finger to help shape the face.
  3. Adjust the nose to line up with the edge and press the top.

Step 8: Add the Tail

  1. Take the bottom corner of the triangle and fold it inwards, lining it up with the bottom edge.
  2. Press this fold to finish the fox’s tail.

Step 9: Final Touches

Your origami fox is almost done! To make it special, you can draw a face on your fox. Add eyes and a nose to make it come alive. You can also color the ears and tail if you want.
