Hello friends,

We hope you are all doing well in these challenging times. Since we can’t visit the poles to see the wildlife in its natural habitat at the moment, we thought we’d bring polar animals to you! 

Introducing our polar-themed Origami Challenge! Over the next month we want to see your best origami art, so tag us in your photos and videos of your polar origami animals and put a #PolarOrigamiChallenge.

Each week our committee members will also be uploading their attempts and links to instructions to help you with your projects. We will be posting some of the best on our social media for all to see! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter (@UKPolarNetwork) and Instagram (@ukpolarnetwork) for further updates. 

Remember – we will only repost things that live in polar environments. Happy crafting everyone!

Here you can see a beautiful origami penguin and krill by one of our VPs, Dr. Anna Belcher! 

If you’d like to make these for yourself, follow the links below for tutorials:
