Origami Butterfly
The origami butterfly is easy to make, and is also a fun action toy. You can decorate it with colored pencils or crayons.
Start with a square piece of paper.
If it is colored paper, put the colored side face down on the table as shown below.
Then fold along the diagonal to give a triangle.

Next fold the triangle in half to make a smaller triangle.
Then fold one corner upwards to make the first butterfly wing.
Then fold the second wing upwards.
Now open the butterfly out as shown, and it's done!
But wait, there's more!
By gently pressing up and down on the body of the butterfly, as shown below, the wings will flap up and down. Go here for the video!
You can also decorate your butterfly to look like a real one or a picture that you've seen.
