Children's acquaintance with birds begins in preschool age. The crow is found in fairy tales and stories. The kid sees these birds on the street. And if the child is already familiar with the skills, then he can make a crow out of paper without much difficulty. For this you can use both double-sided and single-sided black paper. From a square with sides of 19 cm you will get a craft 19 cm long and 9 cm high.
Sequence of work:
Fold the square sheet diagonally and unfold it again. If you have single-sided paper, place the paper with the white side facing up. The fold should be horizontal.
Fold the sides of the square, starting from the right corner, along the dotted lines towards the midline.
Now fold the short sides of the diamond (on the left) in half along the dotted lines towards the middle.
Bend the top edge of the sheet, straightening the fold that was created before.
Fold the part again along the finished folds, and iron the excess part of the sheet, starting from the corner, exactly in the middle.
Bend the small triangular movable part of the workpiece to the right.
Do the same with the bottom of the workpiece.
Bend the triangles so that their corners slightly extend beyond the craft and look in different directions. These will be the crow's feet.
Turn the workpiece over to the other side without changing the direction of the parts.
Move the right side of the diamond to the left, connecting the side corners together and thereby folding the craft in half.
Move the upper part of the folded diamond again from left to right, but this time making a new fold along the dotted line.
Fold the workpiece in half horizontally. The fold should face upward, and small parts of the craft should remain inside.
To make the crow's head and beak, mark a point on the fold (indicated by a cross), then bend the left side of the craft downward, simultaneously opening both sides. Determine the position of the bird's head.
Origami crow- this is another classic model of a "talking" origami figurine. Children can put a paper crow figurine on their fingers and, by moving their fingers, make the crow open or close its beak, creating the impression that the crow is talking. Another similar one origami "talking" diagram, available on our website - this is an origami fox, but a little simpler. This model is also convenient in that it uses a regular notebook sheet as its basis. Therefore, origami crow is very popular among school-age children.How to make an origami crow
A sheet of paper with proportions four to five is used as a basis. An ordinary notebook sheet has these proportions. However, it is recommended make origami crow from a sheet of thick paper. In this case, the crow will not only be able to open and close its beak, but also click it loudly.
Games with children using origami crow
Origami crow is not just a fascinating process of creating an origami figure from paper. The finished crow figurine can be used for various games with children. Here are just a few ideas for similar games. Draw a funny face on the finished crow figurine. If you have made several crow figures, then invite the children to come up with a dialogue between two crows. If you make it large enough, then with the help of the resulting paper crow head you can catch paper balls that your child will throw to you or vice versa you to him.
A paper crow based on a cone looks interesting and funny. Be sure to do it with your children, the craft is very easy. The only difficult task for children may be the design of the cone. But with proper preparation of the paper, this should not be a problem.
Materials for paper crow:
- Black cardboard;
- Yellow paper. If you don’t have ready-made eyes, you’ll also need white paper;
- Moving eyes;
- Scissors, compass, pencil, glue stick.
With such a minimum you get a nice craft.
How to make a crow out of paper?
The first step is to make a cone out of black cardboard. To do this, use a compass to draw a circle on paper. Its value depends on the size of the crow you need. In any case, from a circle covering the entire width of A4 cardboard, a cone approximately 10 cm high is obtained.
Draw a circle, divide it crosswise into 4 even parts. Depending on how many parts will be involved in the work, the width of the cone is determined. That is, if you cut off one part, the cone will be wide. The cone for the crow needs to be quite narrow, so you need to cut 2.5 parts from the circle. And make a cone from the remaining 1.5. In the photo, the sector of the circle that we need for the craft is indicated in red.
Cut it from the circle.
Roll into a ball and glue the sides together. The base of the crow is ready, now let's move on to the small details.
Draw on black cardboard, or first on white paper, a round head with forelock, tail and wings, cut out. The wing can be drawn on one side only, then fold the paper in half and cut out two identical parts at once.
Cut out a diamond-shaped beak and legs from yellow paper. Make the paws longer, taking into account the fact that later they will need to be folded into an accordion.
The components of the paper crow are ready, it’s time to move on to assembling the bird.
To do this, glue the eyes and beak to the head. Note that the sides of the beak should be at the edge of the head. The beak itself is slightly folded and pressed in the middle and glued only on the sides and in the upper part. Glue the crow's head and tail.
Attach the wings to the back of the cone.
Fold the paws into an accordion.
Glue them inside the bottom of the cone.
That's it, the paper crow is ready. Isn't she funny?
A wonderful model of such a bird made of paper will bring joy not only to children, but will also amuse adults. If you are good at onomatopoeia, then the effect of a paper crow, whose beak opens - and this is its trick - will be simply impressive. Even beginning origamists can fold such a bird.
Materials:
a sheet of thick (office) paper, painted white on one side and black on the other, 20x20 cm;
decorative plastic eyes.
Important.
The size of the figure depends on the format of the original sheet of paper, but you should not take it too large - this may cause difficulties when working.
1. Fold the basic Triangle shape. Place the workpiece in front of you so that its right angle is directed forward.
2. Align the right side of the triangle with the center fold line of the workpiece relative to the vertex of the right angle. Fix the fold.
3. Align the left side of the triangle with the center fold line of the workpiece relative to the vertex of the right angle.
4. Holding the workpiece in the center on the line where the folds align with the index finger of your left hand, lift the lower right corner of the fold made in step 2 and move it to the right until its lower right corner is completely open. The top side of the fold formed should be parallel to the bottom side of the workpiece formed as a result of creating the fold.
5. Repeat the operations described in step 4 for the left side of the workpiece.
6. Lift the workpiece, separate the layers of paper at the top with both hands and remove the top layer from the resulting folds.
7. Move the top layer of the workpiece down as far as possible until the layers of paper are completely separated along all folds.
8. Return the top layer of the workpiece to its original position, but place it above the bottom layer.
9. Align the upper corner of the top layer of the workpiece with the intersection point of its center fold line and the bottom side. Fix the fold - you have a triangle with an angle directed towards you.
10. Align the left side of the fold facing you with the horizontal fold side of the same fold relative to its top left corner.
11. Align the left side of the triangular fold facing away from you with the horizontal side of the fold of the bottom fold obtained by performing the operation described in step 10, relative to the lower right corner. Fix the fold.
12. Open the folds obtained 12 during operations 10 and 11.
13. Align the right side of the fold facing you with the horizontal side of the fold of the same fold relative to its upper right corner.
14. Align the right side of the triangular fold, which is directed away from you, with the horizontal side of the fold of the lower fold, which was obtained when performing the operation described in paragraph 13, relative to its lower right corner. Fix the fold.
15. With both hands, lift the workpiece and create a mountain fold, guided by the central vertical fold line of the figure.
20. Grab the crow by the wings with both hands. First, spread your arms to the sides, then bring them back. The crow will close and open its beak. Perform the movements rhythmically - this will allow the bird to move more smoothly.
Complete the crow's look by gluing on its eyes.
