The elephant is considered the largest land animal. There are 2 types - Indian and African. A distinctive feature of elephants is the trunk, which many consider the nose. But in fact the trunk is upper lip fused with the nose. With the help of the trunk, the elephant picks food, collects water, pours sand and water on itself, and also caresses. This and much more can be told to the child during creation in the form of a funny pink elephant. Step by step manufacturing his paper technique is presented in this master class.

To create such an elephant, you need to take:

• - 2 square paper sheets;
• - black marker.

1. Mark on the square the central parts of the diagonals and midlines. Bend two opposite corners towards the center.

2. Mark lines on each of the two triangles dividing the corners in half. Then bend each at the same time along all the marked lines.

3. Bend the figure in half - bend its upper part back.

4. Bend inwards the triangle on the right. The fold line should fall into the corner. The line "valley" is necessary for the time being only to outline. It falls into the middle of the lower side and divides the corner in half.

5. Front and back, bend the right edges of the figure to the corner of the triangle. The inflection line on the left makes a right angle with the top side of the figure.

6. Check the result and pull up two layers of paper, concave inward on the right side of the figure.

7. Left and right, make two double zipper folds.

8. From the front and back, bend the figure along all the indicated lines, as if pushing the left side of the figure onto its central part.

9. Pull the future front legs down to the stop and bend the future tail inward.

10. Make the tail thinner. Bend down in a triangle front and back.

11. In order to perform this action, open the left side of the figurine from above. It is not difficult to find the intersection point of all the lines indicated in the figure on the figure.

12. Check the result.

13. Bend inwards the triangle at the top of the back. It is advisable to pre-mark the fold line. Pay attention - it hits the point of intersection of the lines.

14. Picking up one layer of paper, mark a line that bisects the corner. Repeat from behind.

15. Now fold all the layers of paper. The outlined lines of the folds of the "valley" turn into "mountains". As a result, the future trunk is approaching the body.

16. Bend inwards the triangles of the ears and front legs.

17. Make the front legs thinner.

18. Bend inward a triangle on the crown. Fold back the bottom edges of the ears and belly.

19. Curve the tip of the trunk, and bend inward the triangles of the hind legs. Origami elephant is ready. Get the elephant to stand confidently on the table.
