Before you start

This guide follows the Little Fox activity in Origami Pico. Open the interactive version to see the current paper, highlighted fold and movement in 3D. Choose a free basic paper to try it as many times as you like.

No physical paper is needed for the on-screen activity. If you want to try real paper too, use the linked folding reference below alongside the app. Some movements are adapted for the interactive guide.

Folding instructions

1. Find the middle

   Fold left to right, then let the paper open again.

2. A little triangle

   Bring the bottom point up to the top point.

3. Make a wide forehead

   Fold the top point down to the long bottom edge.

4. One pointy ear

   Swipe the left corner up to make the first ear.

5. And another ear

   Lift the right corner to make a matching ear.

6. Hello, little fox (automatic view change)

   Turn the whole piece over to reveal your fox’s face.

Use this lesson together

Read one instruction aloud, describe where the moving corner will go, then make the fold. Students or family members can take turns explaining the next step.
