The Origami Squirrel enchants both young and old with its playful shape. Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, promotes the development of fine motor skills and activates both brain hemispheres. Children and adults alike benefit from this creative activity. Our instructions are child-friendly - with videos and photos for every single step. Don't be afraid to start! We test each instruction with a 10-year-old child. If the child can do it, you can too!

An Origami Squirrel evokes memories of forest adventures and nature experiences. Children love this figure because they can reenact forest scenes with it. The folded squirrel can sit as a cute decoration on the desk, embellish autumn decorations, or be used when playing with other forest animals.

While folding, you train patience, concentration, and precision. You also learn that each step must be executed precisely. If a mistake happens, simply start over. Origami folding enhances your endurance and discipline.

Origami Squirrel: Folding instructions with video and images

Before you begin folding your squirrel, watch the video once or twice. For your origami project, we recommend special origami paper. You can find it in almost every stationery store. The packages contain square sheets in different colors. Origami paper is thinner than regular paper and folds more easily.

Tip: In the video, we show each step precisely and at a comfortable pace. You can pause it at any time to follow along with the folding steps.
