How to make an elephant using origami technique

The elephant is considered the largest land animal. There are 2 types - Indian and African. A distinctive feature of elephants is their trunk, which many consider to be their nose. But in fact, the trunk is an upper lip fused with the nose. With the help of its trunk, the elephant picks up food, draws water, douses itself with sand and water, and also caresses itself. You can tell your child about this and much more during creation. crafts in the form of a funny pink elephant. Step-by-step making it from paper using the technique origami presented in this master class.

To create such an elephant you need to take:

• - 2 square paper sheets;
  
• - black marker.

From one square we will make the elephant's head, and the second will be needed to create the torso and legs. Let's start with the head. To do this, fold one of the squares along two diagonal lines.

Then the top corner needs to be folded towards the center. This will be the top of the elephant's head. And we bend the bottom corner up quite a bit (1 cm). This will be the bottom of the trunk.

Now we form the sides of the head. To do this, we make folds on the sides. First, bend the left side diagonally.

After this, we perform a symmetrical fold on the right.

We bend the corners from the resulting folds to the sides. These will be the ears of our elephant.

On the reverse side, our animal’s head looks like this.

Let's start creating the trunk. To do this, bend the bottom part up.

Then we bend it down, forming a small fold.

We continue in the same way.

Let's draw the elephant's eyes on the head.

We bend the upper corners back a little. This will give the elephant’s head a roundness.

From another pink square we will form the body and legs of the elephant. To do this, first make transverse folds in two directions.

On one side we make a small bend (about 1 cm).

Turn the sheet over to the other side. After this, we make a fold from the side to the center.

On the other side we perform a symmetrical fold.

It remains to connect two finished parts together. Our pink origami elephant is ready.
