Origami Chomper step 27

Difficulty: Easy

Make your own Origami chomper! A fun, interactive paper craft that bites back—follow our simple instructions and start chomping!

Some people call it an origami snapper and some call it Pacman, but I like to call it a chomper because it makes this origami sound hungrier and with bigger and sharper teeth. Rowrr!

The origami chomper is made with rectangular paper instead of square origami paper and is very easy to fold. As we fold this, you may recognize some origami shapes like the hat and boat, but eventually we’ll mold it into this awesome chomper.
