How to Make an Origami Bunny Head
The origami rabbit is one of the easiest origami animals you can make, and my entire family finds making them entirely addictive.
When I was in grade school, I loved origami. One of my good friends was Japanese, and I have strong memories of folding cranes and boats in her house to hang on a community Christmas tree. The cranes were tricky, but learning the series of folds tested and strengthened our memories, while the physical folding was good for fine motor skills.
And when I taught middle school, my students and I were inspired by the story of Sadako and the thousand paper cranes 
When I first did this with my 3 year old, she didn't have a hand in this project, but once she turned four she could easily fold up a batch of these origami rabbits in one sitting.
Origami Rabbit Supplies
- Origami Paper. You can find origami paper in shops such as Daiso, Paper Source, Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Amazon (affiliate)
- Sharpie
How to Fold an Origami Rabbit
Fold your paper in half to make a triangle.
Fold the creased side of the triangle up about 3/4″.
Fold one side toward the center, line up the points, and crease.
Match it on the other side.
Turn it around, and fold the bottom up about 1″. This will be the base.
Flip it over.
Fold the top point inside to create the top of the rabbit's head. Crease.
Give your rabbit a face.
I used a Sharpie because washable markers would smear on this paper, but you may want to experiment with different kinds of drawing tools. Make one or make a bunch. Because they're so easy to make, I find the process is pretty addictive and made a little family in a matter of minutes.
Display somewhere festive, hide them around the house, or plant them in funny spots around the neighborhood where friends might find them.
