Origami fly - simple and interesting craft made of paper for children aged five years and older. Despite all the structural simplicity, you can get a rather naturalistic insect, especially if you additionally paint and make legs for the fly. If you paint the fly with black and yellow stripes, then you will get a working bee or an angry bumblebee. Then you can make a small panel “Bees in the meadow”. Glue the flowers onto the cardboard base, and then the bee flies.
In its classic form, the origami “Fly” model is also very cute, but, however, then the choice of paper becomes very important. Make a lot of colorful, bright flies with your children. If you are working with a group of children, then such a craft can be designed as a garland by attaching flies to a thread.
Stages of making an origami craft “Fly”
Fold the square diagonally. Get the basic shape of a triangle.
Let's lift two corners up.
Fold the corners of the top layer of paper down.
Bend the top triangle down. We bend only one, the top layer of paper.
Fold back the second layer of paper so that the lower triangle protrudes from under the upper one.
Fold the top right and left sides back. The origami fly is ready!

Design option for origami craft “Fly”
The easiest way to make any origami craft beautiful and elegant is to take paper with a bright print. For example, Chinese washi paper.
This is what an origami fly looks like made from such paper. Real princess flies!
But if you don’t have any exotic paper on hand, it doesn’t matter! We make a model from plain paper and color it with felt-tip pens or colored pencils, as our imagination dictates.
Now you can make the eyes. Let's cut out two circles from paper, color them and glue them.
And so that our origami fly turns out just like a real one, we’ll make legs for it! To do this, take three thin strips of black or brown paper and glue them crosswise onto the fly's abdomen. You can cut such strips from paper painted on both sides. If you have single-sided paper, then make the strips twice as wide as finished legs and fold them lengthwise (you can even glue them together).
We turn the fly over, bend its legs - and you're done!

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS.
V.: Hello, guys, today we have a design lesson. And what exactly we will do with you, you will find out by guessing the riddle.
Mystery.
Wears a red sundress
With black polka dots,
And puts it on your feet
As many as six boots!
What kind of beetle is chewing?
Are aphids clever under the leaf?
Everyone knows that
What is this (ladybug).
(children are shown a picture of a ladybug).
Q: Why do you think this bug was called “ladybug”? (answers are children's assumptions).
V.: They called it “God’s” because this small bright bug at first glance seems harmless. And “cow” because when it sees danger, it secretes a liquid similar to milk. But this “milk” is poisonous, it scares away animals trying to attack the bug.
Q: Tell me, does a ladybug belong to the category of herbivorous or predatory insects? (children's answers).
V.: In fact, this beautiful insect is a predator. But it is a useful predator because it eats aphids - plant pests. And that’s why people specially breed ladybugs on their farms and build houses for them in which they can comfortably spend the winter.
V.: Guys, what else do you know about ladybugs? (children's answers)
V.: Do you know that there are ladybugs different colors: red, pink, orange, yellow, white and even black. They are good performers because when they see danger, they can pretend to be dead. Monuments have also been erected in her honor. different countries: in the USA, in Japan, in South Korea, in the capital of Poland, in the French town of Millau and here in Volgograd.
V.: Guys, do you know how ladybugs reproduce? (children's answers)
V.: First, an adult ladybug lays eggs on the underside of a plant leaf, from which, after about a week, larvae emerge - small black worms, they are very voracious and eat not only the shell of their egg, but also the eggs of unhatched larvae. After some time, the larvae become immobile pupae, which after 10 days turn into a bug. The ladybug is a perennial insect, and the younger it is, the more black spots it has on its back.
V.: Before we start making a ladybug, I suggest you relax and play a little.
