Origami Polar Bear Step 1: Start off with a square 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) origami paper. I used an origami paper which was white on both sides.

Origami Polar Bear Step 6: We need to make an inside reverse fold which means making a mountain fold on the dash line shown on each side of the paper.

From reader in Austin "The sample picture in the Polar Bear instructions looks weird...as if the polar bear was awkwardly hunched over...so this is my interpretation of the bear...But thanks for the instructions! It was clear and understandable, and the pictures of how to make it really does help, and I'm sure the kids where I volunteer at will love making this!"

Reader - Now that you mention it, the polar bear above does look hunched over. Thanks for making it better!
