Origami Water Bomb Here is a fun outdoor water activity for children of all ages! Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Fold a square piece of paper diagonally in one direction, unfold, then fold diagonally in the other direction and unfold. Push the two sides together to form a triangle. Your paper should now be in the shape of a triangle (also known as the swallow or the pigeon fold). Fold the left and right points upward to meet at the top point. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Your paper should now look like this. Fold the tips of the triangles on the left and right edges toward the center. The peaks should meet in the center. Your paper should now look like this. Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Fold the top two small triangles down to meet the triangles folded in the previous step. Tuck these small triangles from step 7 into the triangles formed in step 5. Be careful when you do this step - it is a little awkward. Your paper should now look like this. www.EscapadeDirect.com Copyright 2007 Escapade Direct LLC Origami Water Bomb Step 10 Step 11 Step 12 Turn your paper over and repeat steps 3-9 on this side. Your paper should now look like this. Fold the bottom peak up to meet the middle fold, and fold the top peak down to meet the middle fold. Your paper will be a square. Unfold these two peaks. Step 13 Step 14 One side of the paper now has a small hole in it. Hold the paper gently in your hands and blow into this hole to inflate your cube. Your cube is now formed. Pour water into the hole at the top of the cube and you are ready to throw your water bomb! Additional Tips: - Always make sure to have crisp clean folds for best results. - When blowing to inflate your water bomb, it inflates best when held perpendicular to the floor. - Your water bomb won’t hold water for long, so you might want to be outside when you fill it! - These water bombs are so much fun, you might want to make dozens of them before you head outside. - Try experimenting with different kinds of paper to see what kind works best (this is a great way to recycle all that junk mail)!
