| Start with a square piece of paper and fold one edge over to the opposite. | Unfold it and do exactly the same with the other two edges. | Your paper should like above. |
 |
 |
 |
| Now start to collapse the pre-folded piece | of paper as shown on the pictures. | |
 |
 |
 |
| You should have a triangle like above. | Fold the tip of the triangle down the centerline.The tip should cover about half of the folded length. | Now unfold the balloon base and squash fold it as shown. |
 |
 |
 |
| Your paper will look like above. To finish | the cow's body, simply fold it in half. | |
 |
 |
 |
| To make the cow's head, use another square of paper. | Fold it in half with the colored side (if any) on the outside. | Next fold each half downwards, as shown on the photos. |
 |
 |
 |
| Now, fold the end of the rectangle to look like above. | Each outside layer of the folded rectangle is squash-folded backwards. |
 |
 |
 |
| Now reverse fold the nose of the cow as shown on the photos. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Fold the cow's ears forward. |
Next, fold the neck downwards as shown. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Then do a reverse fold, as shown in these photos. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| To make the neck of the origami animal fit into the body, reverse fold the bottom of the neck as shown. | It can be very tricky to get the right amount of fold. If too little it won't fit into the body, if too much, the head will fall forward. | Finally, glue the neck to the body as shown. |
 |
||
| Now your origami animal, the cow is done. You can decorate it with pens, markers or crayons. |
