Make a Paper Fish: Easy Origami Fish Instructions and Diagram

PinFollow the instructions below to make this Easy Origami Fish
Difficulty: Easy

Kids will have lots of fun folding this easy origami fish and drawing in its eyes and stripes. I doubt they need help at all, but if they do, it would be to collapse the paper into a triangle and folding the fins perfectly. To center the fins perfectly, first place one over the other without creasing. Then kind of roll it up or down till they’re centered, and crease when they are.

If this easy origami fish doesn’t satisfy you, you can try the more challenging origami fish. It’s not an angelfish like this one, but leans towards more of the traditional fish figure. It’s not too hard, but definitely “showoffable”.

Step 1: Start with a square piece of origami paper. If you only have regular 8.5×11 paper, follow these instructions to make it into a square sheet.
