How to fold an origami banana
Fold a square into a long yellow shape, fold it in half end to end and snip a curved banana shape through both layers. Open it out and colour the tips brown.
You need: 1 square sheet, yellow on one side, scissors and a brown pen. Medium, 5 steps, about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Corners to the middle. Start white side up, like a diamond. Fold the top and bottom corners in to meet in the middle.
- Turn it over. Flip it over so the smooth yellow side faces you.
- Fold in half. Fold the left point behind onto the right point.
- Snip the banana. Snip a long slanted strip off the top edge, cutting deepest at the fold. Then snip the bottom edge round, curving up to the tip.
- Open it out. Unfold the back half. Now it's a curved banana with a point at each end.
Time for a snack!
Colour both tips brown.
