Dinosaur Origami

by Duy Nguyen

To bring back the age of the dinosaurs, all it takes is folding some pieces of paper! Using the ancient and magnificent art of origami, construct an entire prehistoric world of dinos. Mastering the basic folds is so simple that it takes less than 10 pages of instruction to show you how to. Once you've got those down, start having fun. Follow the generously sized, colorful diagrams and see the animals' bodies emerge, including a long-necked, graceful brontosaurus; the squat, low-to-the-ground pelycosaur; and a velociraptor, looking all ready to head out on the hunt. Or, try your hand at the pteranodon, compsognathus, triceratops, tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus, ankylosaurus, and more.
