Traditional model (Japan)

Snapping bird

The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.

A little traditional origami that children will love, because it is simple to make and it moves. It is a bird that snaps its beak when you pull its wings apart and bring them back together. Choose a slightly stiff paper, such as printer paper or card, so that you can hear the snap. And of course you can add eyes with a pen or with stickers.
