Moving or making-sounds origami figures are loved by all children! Today we are going to share with you a step-by-step instructions of one of such toys. Pecking Chicken is a funny and sweet origami toy. After folding the origami chicken, you can make it move its head up and down, imitating the pecking process.

Fold both sides so that they correspond to the center fold.
Flip the paper over. Fold both sides toward the center, starting at the top.
You should get a diamond-shaped figure with the bottom triangular part longer than the top one.
Place the Diamond horizontally and turn the figure over.
Flip the paper over and turn it over.
Along the dotted lines on the ends of the Diamond, bend both triangular ends towards the center.
