A sliding baby penguin that brings an instant smile
There it is, belly on the ice, ready to take off. This 3D origami sliding baby penguin captures a moment full of tenderness and movement. You can almost picture it gliding across the ice, clumsy and joyful, like a frozen little scene that instantly adds character to your decor.
Once assembled, the model reveals well-balanced proportions: 150 mm in height, 231 mm in width, and 287 mm in depth. Eye-catching without being bulky, it fits easily on a shelf, a desk, or in a child’s room.
This 3D papercraft also plays with paper contrasts to bring the character to life. The template is made up of 7 pages: 3 white pages for the body, 2 black pages for the dark areas, 1 black page dedicated to the eyes, and 1 red or orange page for the beak and feet details. Each color has its role, and every piece naturally finds its place.
The assembly process is accessible and enjoyable. Cut, fold, glue—step by step, the penguin takes shape in your hands. A relaxing creative moment, with an immediate visual reward once the model is complete.
