The origami whale is a very simple model for children aged 5 years and older. It can be made from any paper, even from an ordinary white sheet. We used double-sided origami paper with designs printed on it. At the same time, the figurine turns out to be very decorative. But it also has its drawbacks - it is difficult to draw details - eyes and mouth. They are simply not visible. We solved this issue by gluing the white parts and drawing everything on them. But if you make a whale from ordinary paper. Then such tricks will not be required.
Before you start, talk to your children about whales. Tell them that whales are not fish at all, although they are very similar to them. These animals are mammals. Like, for example, a fox, a wolf or a hare. Or ourselves. Read poems about whales. For example, B. Zakhoder’s fairy tale “The Whale and the Cat” or this educational quatrain:
There is no whale bigger than the beast, you can hardly find one bigger.
For many years no one has been able to surpass the whale in size.
A huge giant lives in the seas far from the earth
It eats plankton in the depths and ships sail above.
Only sometimes it floats to the top to get some fresh air.
A fountain of water will shoot upward and the path will continue again.

Who swims across a huge ocean, feeds on plankton, releases a fountain of water from a hole on its back and inspires fear in everyone with its enormous size? Ask your child about this. Even kindergarten kids will tell you that these are whales - mammals that live in the water. Exactly for children preschool age And this master class is intended to tell you about... Everyone is already accustomed to the fact that figures of animals and birds are made on paper in the form of colored appliqué. But here a fundamentally different method is shown - the whale turns out to be three-dimensional, and is made from a strip of cardboard. There is nothing complicated, but this kind of work needs to be thought through.
What is needed to model a three-dimensional whale craft from paper:
- thick blue cardboard;
- thin paper in blue and white colors;
- a simple and black pencil (or only black) with scissors and a ruler;
- glue.
How to make a paper whale with your own hands?
A voluminous paper whale is a very simple craft that will be understandable to children. It will be based on a regular ring made of blue cardboard. It is only advisable to choose thick paper that will hold its shape well. All other tools are needed for marking and cutting out parts.
Using a ruler and pencil, cut out the main strip from blue cardstock. The length of the strip can correspond to the width of an A4 sheet. Measure 3-4 cm in width (the wider the strip, the wider the body and muzzle of the whale). First, make a marking with a pencil (straight line). Then cut. Make cuts at the ends of the strip (one on each side). Place the cuts mirror image from each other. Do not reach the end of the paper by 1-1.5 cm so that the ring holds tightly.
The cuts will allow you to fasten the strip into a teardrop ring. Insert one cut into the second, folding the paper. This will be a figurine resembling the head, torso and tail of a large whale.

It is better to draw the pupils with a black pencil or felt-tip pen, since cutting out such small black details from paper is quite troublesome. There are also sets of plastic eyes with moving pupils on sale - this option is even more suitable. Draw vertical stripes on the strip using a black pencil under a ruler.
Glue the mouth and eyes to the front of the muzzle.
If you are using single-sided cardstock, you can glue a tail to the back to hide the back gray side of the paper.
Cut out a cross-shaped piece from soft blue paper. Cut along each side, but do not reach the middle - there should be a square in the center.

Symbolism
The whale is a very deep symbol, it personifies the power of cosmic waters, and often its image was associated with death, on the one hand, and with rebirth and transformation, on the other. Previously, sailors considered the whale a sign of deceit.
This is the easiest origami whale; you can fold it in 5 steps. Ideal for children's creativity, looks great in compositions with ponds and any aquatic inhabitants.
Materials:
- Single-sided colored paper;
- Sticky eyes;
- Scissors.
Origami whale step by step
Prepare a square piece of paper. A whale made from one-sided colored paper turns out beautiful. In this version, one side is blue and the other is white. As a result, the whale turns out to be two-colored, blue with a white belly. You can also use double-sided paper, but the character will just be all one color.
Fold the square to make a triangle. That is, connect opposite corners.
Open the paper and fold the bottom side, aligning it with the fold in the center. The paper is specially placed in a horizontal position so that further actions are clear and consistent.
Turn over to the other side and fold the bottom edge, aligning it with the bottom of the piece.
Now center the top side by folding it down.
Make small bends in the corners: top, left.
Turn the paper over, bend the tail up, glue or draw an eye. That's it, the origami whale in the children's version is ready. It can be part of an application on water theme, a bright, interesting craft. An interesting motif is a combination of a design in the form of water and a fountain on top and a paper character.
