Origami has something that anyone of almost any age can learn to create and enjoy. Children especially take pleasure in using their imaginations to create origami toys and animals. There are countless patterns and designs of origami, all based on only a few different folds.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • One or two square pieces of lightweight paper
  • Pen
  1. Step 1

    Place your paper flat with a point at the top, like a diamond. Then fold the paper in half from the bottom corner to the top corner.

  2. Step 2

    Fold your triangle from the right corner toward the left corner.

  3. Step 3

    Turn the triangle so the top point is the bottom-right corner. Fold the first flap toward the top corner.

  4. Step 4

    Turn the triangle over so the top point is the bottom-left corner. Fold the second flap toward the top corner.

  5. Step 5

    Turn the triangle so that the top point is the bottom-right corner.

  6. Step 6

    Fold both sides of the triangle to the center. The small point will form the wolf's tail.

  7. Step 7

    Separate the flaps and press them flat to form the ears.

  8. Step 8

    Fold the center point of the flaps down to form the face.

  9. Step 9

    Use the pen or the marker to give your wolf eyes, and color the point of his nose.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you use paper of various sizes and colors to make several wolves, you can create an entire wolf pack.
  • In many areas of the United States, wolves are considered to be an endangered species. There are several really terrific websites dedicated to expanding the knowledge of wolves and increasing the concern for saving what is left of the few remaining wolves in these regions.
