Simple elephant origami tutorial for toddlers

Many kindergarten children like elephants very much. Although elephants do things and walk slowly, they have a very flexible trunk and can absorb water and bathe themselves! Today, the toddler origami tutorial I will make with kindergarten children is to make a cute elephant. And it’s an origami elephant with a long trunk and cattail ears. If you like, take a minute to try it!

Step 1: First fold the top edge to the bottom edge, unfold to leave a crease, fold the left side to the right, and unfold to leave a crease.

Step 2: Then fold the top corner to the lower right corner.

Step 3: Then fold the top edge to the bottom edge.

Step 4: Then follow the instructions in the picture, open the thick arrow on the left, pay attention to the location of the crease, and press it flat.

Step 5: Use a paintbrush to draw the wrinkles on the elephant’s trunk and the cute little eyes, and the hand-made origami elephant is now complete!
