Origami is a popular art of folding figures from a square sheet of paper. This fascinating activity captivated the inhabitants of the whole world, although it originated in Japan. Let us join millions of fans to do wonderful things with our own hands and make an origami turtle. This is a simple craft that you can collect with your child, developing his eye, accuracy, clarity of motion, motor skills of hands and fingers. This is a useful exercise before further studies at school, which helps to master writing skills.
Assembly of a figure according to schemes
In the article, we will consider how to make a turtle out of paper in two ways according to the schemes. This is a series of sequential drawings that make it easy to understand the assembly order of the figures.
As with any other origami, you will need a square sheet of colored paper. You can also learn on the white sheet A-4, cutting off the extra strip on the side, but usually the turtle is made from all shades of green. It is better to use thick paper - then the figure will not look so flat. You need to act sequentially, making paper folds according to serial numbers on the diagram. Let's start with a simple origami sample.
Mom turtle with baby
The colored square is bent in half diagonally with the white side inward. Then bend the corners, as shown in Figure 3. Return the square to its original position and pull them out, and then fold the sheet into a triangle again. Turn it so that a right-angled triangle emerges, and bend the upper part in half, and the resulting lower half - diagonally.
The most difficult action is to insert a finger into the formed pocket and turn it back to get an even line on the backs of our heroes. Then simply bend the corners sticking out from all sides, giving a more rounded shape to the shells. Draw your eyes and you can play.
Turtle with paws
The following diagram shows how to make a paper turtle with four legs, a head and a tail. We will not describe in words the order of assembly of the figure, since everything is clear on the diagram itself. Let us dwell only on the rules for the assembly of the turtle. The dashed lines indicate where the folds of paper should be, and the arrows give the right direction. The white wide arrow indicates that you need to insert a finger into the pocket and push the part apart, turning it to the other side.
In mugs you can consider folding small parts. They transmit an enlarged image to make it easier to understand the correctness of the action. Stretch all fold lines well with your fingers, and preferably even with a fingernail. But first check the clarity of the application ends so as not to correct errors afterwards.
