Wildlife & small animals: paper squishy ideas & making tips

Choose your design

Compare big cats, foxes, a wolverine, a Komodo dragon and smaller animals. Their body shapes differ, so follow each animal's own assembly guide.

How these projects differ

The tiger and Komodo dragon use two mirrored faces taped around light filling. Their tails and legs follow the printed silhouette. The wolverine instead has four hollow legs and double-sided ears. Choose a paired-panel animal for fewer separate body parts, or the wolverine for a more segmented build.
