3D Paper Tiger

To make a tiger you need:

- colored A4 paper sheets (orange, green, and white)

- a pair of scissors

- a glue stick

- a black marker

Cut a sheet of green A4 paper in half (horizontally).

Cut a sheet of orange A4 paper in half (lengthwise).

Draw 2 rectangles of 2.5 x 8.5 cm on each side of the orange paper strip (in the center).

Completely cut out the first rectangle.

Only cut the sides of the second rectangle, then wrap the strip around a pencil to create the tiger's tail.

Round off the 4 legs as well as the tip of the tiger's tail using a pair of scissors.

Draw the tiger's stripes with a black marker, then fold the tips of the paws.

Glue the tiger's paws onto the cut green paper rectangle from the first step.

To create the tiger's head, cut the following elements from a sheet of orange paper:

- one circle of Ø 10 cm

- 2 circles of Ø 6 cm

Cut out of a sheet of white paper:

- 2 circles of Ø 4 cm to glue inside the ears

- one oval shape of 5 x 6 cm

- 2 circles of Ø 2.5 cm for the eyes

Glue the white elements inside the orange circles.

Glue the 2 ears and then draw the tiger's head with a black marker (eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers, stripes).

Cut 2 strips of paper measuring 3 cm x 21 cm (the width of an A4 sheet) and then glue them together to form a right angle.

Fold the paper strips over one another along their entire length to form a "spring" out of paper.

Secure the ends of the strips with a dot of glue.

Glue the paper spring behind the tiger's head and then attach the whole piece to the body.
