How to fold an origami kangaroo face

A tan triangle whose side corners fold down low and swing back up into tall ears with blunt tips. The long pointed chin is the muzzle.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, tan on one side, and a black marker. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. Turn the square like a diamond, white side up. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
  2. Corners down. Fold the left and right corners down so their points meet on the middle line, about 1 cm above the bottom point.
  3. Ears up. Fold each flap back up from its outer corner, so it stands straight up as a tall ear.
  4. Blunt the ears. Fold the tip of each ear behind, straight across, about 1 cm down, so the ears are blunt.

G'day, roo!

Draw a line inside each ear, two eyes, a wide black nose near the chin's tip and a little line under it.
