Origami Dog

The origami dog is a simple animal that you can make from folded paper.  It looks a lot like a dog with floppy ears.

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.

Now fold the corners together and unfold, to give a crease as shown. 

Then fold the dog ears down, using the crease line as a guide.

Next fold the top and bottom of the head, away from you.  The dog is done! 

If you like, you can draw eyes, a nose and a mouth.
