This is a unique mix of Traditional forms that tie together one flows into the next
the sequence is so simple and natural that it makes a good teaching lesson
for showing how one model can flow into another more complex model. I take no
credit for this sequence of folds all I did was tie them together to provide a
lesson plan a long time ago.
1. Fold the model in half on the diagonal
Crease well and unfold.
2. Fold both sides into the center
daigonal crease.
3. Valley fold the model in half on the diagonal.
4. Inside reverse fold the top down to form the head.
5. This is the first stage of the model the pecking crow.
6. For the next step in the models
progress unfold the head.
7. Fold the bottom edge up on each side
of the model.
8. Outside reverse fold the upper part
of the model to form it’s neck.
(Also a good way to teach Outside
and inside reverse folds.)
Tap the crows tail and see him peck at the ground.
9. Another ouside reverse fold to form the pidgeons head.
10. This is the finished pigeon.
If you push down on the pidgeon just
behide the neck you can make the head
move forwards and back just like
the pidgeons do in the park!
11. Now to finish up pleat the the head in to form a
beak and reverse fold the back end of the model
up to form the ducks tail feathers (optionaly you
could fold with an inside reverse fold the tip of
tail feathers down.)
12 Finaly the end of the sequence is here! You have
a duck! If you are fond of mischief and are doing
this for a young person, you could show them how
they can stick a finger or a thumb into the pockets
on both sides of the duck and pull outward, thus
forming the dreaded attack duck!
