Fence The Fence can be used to corral your animals, and it can be made from any size rectangular paper. Fence The Fence can be used to corral your animals, and it can be made from any size rectangular paper.

A fence requires at least three sheets. The more sheets you use, the larger the fence. The one shown here is made from four sheets of American letter-size paper (8 x 11 inches). This kit doesnt include paper for this model, so you can make as many as you want with your own paper supply, of any size, and decorate them any way you like. Position the paper with the long edge toward you, then fold the bottom edge to the top. On the top layer, fold the top edge down to the crease.

Repeat behind. Fold the model in half, left-to-right. Unfold halfway. This is one corner of the fence. Make 3 more of these units. Feed the ends of each unit into the openings of the adjacent unit.

You can slide them back and forth to change the fences shape. The completed Fence.

TREE The Tree can be used to add more shade to your zoo. You can place it by a body of water and gather your animal models around it. When you run out of Tree paper, you can make more from any size square, and fold an entire forest! Note that the accordion pleats in step 5 dont have to be parallel; in fact, the Tree will look more natural if theyre not. Fold corner-to-corner. Unfold. Fold the top two edges to lie even with the center crease. Fold the point up and slip it under the two flaps. Fold the model in half. Accordion-pleat the model top-to-bottom any way you like. Accordion-pleat the model top-to-bottom any way you like.

The creases dont have to be parallel. Unfold. To make the Tree stand, swing the rear portion around and to the left. The completed Tree.

Zoo Guest What zoo would be complete without guests? When youre done folding, stick on a face from the sticker sheet or draw one of your own! You can also curve the arms by rolling them with a pen or chopstick. To make a smaller version of the guest using one of the papers included with the kit, do the following: Position the paper like a diamond.

Fold the left corner to the right corner and crease, top-to-bottom. Unfold. Bring the bottom corner up to lie along the central vertical crease (creating a triangular flap), and then fold across the bottom. The farther up you bring the corner, the bigger the square will be. With scissors, trim around the edge of the triangular flap, as shown below. Unfold whats left, and youve got a smaller square.

Begin with the color you want for the face and hands facing up. Fold the left corner to the right. Unfold. Bring the bottom corner to the top but dont crease all the way; just make a pinch across the vertical center crease and then unfold. Fold the left and right corners to the center. Unfold.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center. Mountain fold the top point behind to the center. Fold the left corner to the right-most crease. Fold the corner back to the left along the existing crease, which lies along the center of the model.
