Watch this step-by-step tutorial to fold a moving paper dinosaur:
Below is a guide on how to create these figures using paper and how to recreate the "dance" effect. 🦖 Making the Paper Dinosaur
You can create a 3D paper dinosaur that actually moves its mouth, allowing it to "sing" along to the dance track.
Fold each square along the diagonals to create an "X" crease.
Two squares of paper (green is best) and a pair of scissors [1, 18].
Create two separate pieces—one for the upper head/body and one for the lower jaw—then slot them together [1, 20].
By holding the side flaps, you can make the dinosaur's mouth open and close [1, 22].
Putting together a (Dinosaur Frog Dance) paper craft typically involves creating the two iconic characters from the popular viral trend so you can "perform" the dance yourself. This trend originated from a catchy animation featuring a green dinosaur and a frog dancing together, often set to high-energy remixes [10, 17].
