Paper squid

You can introduce your child to marine life in many ways, including using crafts. In our master class, it is proposed to make squid from paper using technique origami.

To work, you need to take:
- a square sheet of paper;
- black felt-tip pen;
- scissors.

We start squid making by adding a square diagonally.

After this, the obtained triangle needs to bend the side corners towards the center line.


Now turn the sides of the resulting square.

Make the bend of the bottom corner.

We begin to straighten the blank of the future squid, giving it a more elongated shape. To do this, we straighten its right side and fold it into a triangle.


Do the same with the left side of the squid. It turned out a rhombus.

In the upper part of the resulting rhombus we make two small cuts on the sides.

Bend the paper to the side and get the tail fin of our cephalopod mollusk.

Now let's get to the front of the squid. First, flip the workpiece to the other side.

At the triangle located in the middle, we will make a fold at its base.

Bend the triangle down and form another fold. The remaining triangle of a slightly smaller size will be the squid's head.

From the lower remaining part we will form the tentacles of the mollusk. To do this, using scissors, make cuts on both sides.

We bend small triangles on the sides in the opposite direction.

The remaining part is cut into strips, these will be the tentacles of the mollusk.

The tips of the tentacles can be slightly twisted using a round small object (for example, a toothpick).

It remains to draw eyes, our squid from paper is ready.
