A lying penguin that comes to life, sheet by sheet
With just a few cuts, a bit of patience, and suddenly… the penguin appears. Lying down, relaxed, almost nonchalant, it seems to glide gently across the ice floe. This 3D origami model turns a simple creative moment into a truly calming break. You assemble, you watch the volumes take shape, and very quickly the familiar silhouette of this marine animal comes together.
With its soft lines and endearing posture, this penguin naturally finds its place on a shelf, a desk, or in a bedroom. It fits perfectly into an ocean- and polar-inspired décor, alongside other creations from the sea animal origami collection.
Technical details and sheet composition
The finished model measures 120 mm in height, 245 mm in width, and 440 mm in depth. The set is made up of 13 sheets, carefully distributed to give the penguin depth and contrast.

This color balance delivers a faithful, expressive result without visual overload. The pieces come together progressively, guided by a clear logic, making it ideal to start the adventure with confidence.
An accessible model, built for the joy of assembling
Designed for an easy level, this lying penguin is suitable for curious beginners and seasoned craft lovers alike. Each step brings its own sense of satisfaction. And in the end, it’s more than a decorative object: it’s a creation you’ve watched come to life, piece by piece.
