How to fold an origami bus

A roof strip folds down and the side folds up, leaving a white band of windows between them. One more fold opens a glass door at the front, then draw the wheels.

You need: Half a square sheet, yellow on one side (cut a square in half). Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold down the roof. Lay the half sheet white side up, long side across. Fold the top edge down a strip as wide as a pencil. That's the roof.
  2. Fold up the side. Fold the bottom edge up to a little above the middle, leaving a white band about a thumb wide under the roof for the windows.
  3. Open the door. Fold the coloured side's top right corner down, so its right edge lies along the bottom edge. The white square at the front is the door.
  4. Round the corners. Fold all four corners of the bus behind, just a little, so it looks rounded.

Draw lines to split the windows, a stripe along the side, the door's middle and two big wheels.
