Too Easy Flappy Bird

Paper is one of the favorite materials for almost all craft enthusiasts around the world. I too love paper for its easy availability and versitality. It always amazes me that how a piece of paper can be molded into almost any shape we want.

In this Instructable project, we will build a Flappy bird in few easy steps. I'm sure kids will enjoy making and playing with this toy.

• Black Pen or Marker
• Pencil
• 15 x 15 cm paper
• Scissor

• Lay the paper on a flat surface and fold it along one of its diagonals.
• With the help of a pencil, mark two dotted lines and one solid line. We will fold along dotted lines and cut along the solid line.

In picture 3 above:

• Length AB = 9.5 cm
• Length BC = 2.5 cm
• Length CD = 13 cm
• Length DE = 2.5 cm
• Length DF = 5 cm
• Length FG = 3 cm

• Cut along the solid line to make the Tail and Head of the bird.
• Next, from the right corner, first, fold along the first dotted line and then again along the second dotted line. Crease all the folds nicely.

• Lay the paper so that the tail is pointing away from you.
• Lift the lower part upward and fold along the dotted lines.
• Now, pinch the top part between your thumb and index finger so that it folds along the triangular dotted line.
• Last, fold the paper along the centerline so that the two corners(A and B) meets below to make a flap.
• Gently crease all the folds and draw the eyes of your bird with a pen or a marker.

Hold the bird at point A with one hand. Now pull the flap downward to make the bird flap.
