How to Fold an Easy Origami Apatosaurus
These instructions will show you how to fold a great little origami Apatosaurus. If you’re new to the site or to paper folding in general we recommend you check out our Beginner’s Guide first to learn all the basic folds and techniques.
Step 1) Fold the paper in half diagonally.
Step 2) Fold the paper in half again and then unfold it.
Step 3) Fold the right side of the paper to the centre line from step 2.
Step 4) Fold this flap of paper in half again.
Step 5) Unfold the last few folds.
Step 6) Fold the paper back over to the left one fold at a time starting on the right. The paper will kind of roll up as you make the folds.
Step 7) Fold the top part of the paper down to form the head.
Step 8) Fold the back of the paper over to make the tail.

This is perfect 🙂 My little 5 year old niece sees me folding dinosaurs and dragons and wants to join in, which makes me happier than anything! But I find it hard to find models that are ‘kids’ versions – quick and easy enough to hold her attention and not get her frustrated – yet, are still detailed enough to stand up (for example) etc like my ‘grown up’ ones, otherwise she gets very disappointed!
Glad I could help!
