So, now that it is raining more and more often and the weather is not suitable for walks, use your free time with your children to make interesting things. In keeping with this, we would like to introduce you to a very special and popular craft idea. The figures are created by simply folding them. We'll show you some great instructions with which you can make funny origami animals. Even your children will have fun and be happy with the finished product.
The animals are also perfect for collecting and playing with. It is best to use special paper as it is thinner and easier to fold. In our instructions for making origami animals we have found something for every level of difficulty. If you are a beginner, it is best to start with the simple ideas and then gradually work your way up. Soon you will be able to recreate the attractive 3D parrot or cute penguin.

Well, now you can try it with a cat too. The cat is equally suitable for beginners and children and you can fold several beautiful cats for a short time. The folding instructions are similar to those for the dog and only contain a few steps.
For materials, get several square sheets of paper in any color that corresponds to the number of origami cats you plan to have. The first step is to prepare a square sheet of paper.
Place the paper with the white side up and fold it diagonally into a triangle.
Fold the resulting triangle again into a smaller triangle.
Now, unfold the second triangle and place the sheet with the long side down.
Now fold the top corner down a little.
In the next step, fold the bottom right corner diagonally upwards.
Repeat the previous step with the bottom left corner.
Now turn the page over. The result is the cat's head.
The last step is to paint the face with a black pen and the cat is finished. Using this method, you can make as many paper cats as you like with the children and conjure up a creative decoration for the children's room.
If you have already mastered the simple designs, you can also try with a more complicated figure. Here you will find the instructions for a pretty oneOrigami Vogel. However, for this motif the paper is not only folded, but also glued with glue at the end. This way it doesn't lose its shape over time.
