How to fold an origami igloo

A white snow strip folds up, the top folds behind, and four folds round off the corners into a dome. Draw the ice blocks and a little tunnel door.

You need: 1 square sheet, pale blue on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold up the snow. Fold a thin strip at the bottom edge up. The white strip is the snow the igloo sits on.
  2. Top behind. Fold the top edge behind, down to the top of the white snow strip.
  3. Round the top. Fold both top corners behind on a slant to start rounding the dome.
  4. Round it more. Fold the four new little corners behind too, so the top is a smooth dome.

Snug as a bug!

Draw rows of ice blocks and a tunnel door on the snow. Make a polar bear or a penguin to live inside.
