Chatterbox

To make the Chatterbox, simply follow the instructions below.

You will need a square of paper (21 cm x 21 cm is a good size to start with).

1. Fold the paper along line AB.
    Unfold.
    Turn the paper over.

2. Fold in the edges to the centreline (AB).
    Unfold.
    Turn the paper over.

   
3. Fold along line CD.
    Unfold.
4. Fold top edge down to the centre line (CD).
5. Fold in corners E and F.
    Unfold everything.
6. Fold bottom edge up to the centre line (CD).
7. Fold in corners G and H.
    Unfold everything.
8. Fold top and bottom edges into the centre again.
    Turn over.
9. Fold in the corners (as shown in the diagram).
    Turn over.
10. Draw on eyes.
      Hold the two ends and push together so that the chatterbox opens it's mouth. (You have to be careful the first time you do this.
      Make sure that all the folds bend in the right direction and that they do not crease.)
