How to Make A Moving Paper Toy- An Elephant

- A 20*20 c.m. color paper.
- A 12*20 c.m. color paper.

- A centimeter scale.
- A scissor.
- A Cello tape tube.
- A glues stick.
- A black marker pen.
- A straw.
- Two eyes button.
Procedure:
- Take a 20*20 c.m. color paper, place it on your desk like a diamond shape. Fold the page up to down like a triangle shape. Then fold it down to a little triangle shape, stick them both over and under part of the page with glue.
- Fold both sides of the pages right-left and left-right edgewise like an arrow-like triangle. It must look like the ears of the elephant.
- All together the page will look like an elephant’s face.
- Take the 12*20 c.m. color paper, make two points over it with the black marker pen and the points will be 4.8 c.m after each other. Draw the points with the centimeter scale.
- Take the centimeter scale, place it over the points of the page, and fold.
- Unfold the page, follow the fold lines and fold them over and under each other in a line shape.
- Unfold it and stick the bottom of the page samely with a glue stick and the left side of it. Remember do not fold the upper part of the page. It will look like a stick.
- Take the other page, the elephant face one. Stick glue on the stick-like pages above and attach the elephant’s face. It will look like an elephant with a trunk.
- Make lines on the elephant’s trunk with your marker pen.
- Take the 7*7 c.m. white paper, fold the paper in a square shape and cut it like a narrow triangle. There will be two triangles. It is supposed to be the teeth of the elephant.
- Stick glue on the small triangles and attach them under the elephant’s face.

- Turn it over and attach the eyeballs with a glue stick and then roll the elephant’s trunk from the and See the magic with a blow!!

Dear Zarana,
These are the Steps for making origami elephant-
Step 1: Prepare a square sheet of origami paper. If you don’t have origami paper, you can use any square sheet of paper and trim it into a square.
Step 2: Fold the paper in half diagonally to create a triangle. Make sure the edges line up neatly and crease the fold.
Step 3: Unfold the paper and fold it in half diagonally in the opposite direction. Again, make a neat crease and unfold the paper.
Step 4: Fold the paper in half horizontally, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. Crease the fold and then unfold the paper.
Step 5: Fold the paper in half vertically, bringing the left edge over to meet the right edge. Crease the fold and then unfold the paper.
Step 6: Rotate the paper so that the diagonal creases are in a “X” shape, with the open edges facing up and down.
Step 7: Fold the top right corner of the paper down towards the center point where the two diagonal creases intersect. Crease the fold.
Step 8: Repeat the previous step for the top left corner, folding it down towards the center point and creasing the fold.
Step 9: Fold the bottom half of the paper up, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the center point. Crease the fold.
Step 10: Fold the bottom left corner up towards the center point. Crease the fold.
Step 11: Repeat the previous step for the bottom right corner, folding it up towards the center point and creasing the fold.
Step 12: Fold the left and right sides of the paper inward, bringing them towards the center line. Crease the folds.
Step 13: Flip the paper over. You will see the elephant’s body taking shape.
Step 14: Fold down a small triangle at the top to form the elephant’s head. This will be a small portion of the top layer of the paper.
Step 15: Fold the bottom point up to create the elephant’s tail.
Step 16: Your origami elephant is complete! You can adjust the folds and shape as needed to make it look more like an elephant.
Remember to take your time and make clean and precise folds. Enjoy creating your origami elephant!
