You can print out instructions here to make this cool and fun origami prairie dog!

Project 1. Origami Prairie Dog

Utensils: Scissors, computer printer, and tape

Directions:

1. THE PRAIRIE DOG'S HEAD

 a: Print out the prairie dog's head below by clicking on the
      picture.

                              
Cut on the full line and follow these directions.

    b: Fold the piece of paper in half diagonally above the face.

    c: Fold the two white corners  backwards on either side of the
       face to form a point at the top of the face. 

   d:  Then fold up on the dotted line closest to the face. Repeat
        this process on the other side of the face. 

    e: Finally, fold on the other dotted line creating an ear-flap
       over the face. Repeat this process for the other ear.

2. THE PRAIRIE DOG'S BODY

   a: First print out the body of the prairie dog by clicking on the picture.

   b: Next fold diagonally on dotted line 1 so that the numbers are on the inside. Then open it up so it looks like a diamond and the crease is vertical. Then, with the numbers at the bottom, fold the bottom corner of the diamond backwards from the point 
(on line 2).This will be the tail.

  c: Then fold the paper back  into its original diagonal form with numbers on the inside, but keep the corner the way it was folded. Grab on the tail and pull out so that it folds on dotted line 3.

   d: Tape the head on the top point of the body.

   Now you are finished making your prairie dog.
