This is very interesting job which will be useful for children. The modular origami technique can be taught to a child, and then he will be able to independently create interesting crafts and home decorations.

The rest of the time, the child can work on the craft himself and the parents will not have to worry about the baby getting hurt with a sharp object or using the glue for other purposes.
7 rows of white modules
On a note! The modular origami technique itself involves the use of paper elements that will be folded in a certain sequence, most often you can find schemes that use 1/16 or 1/32 modules.
8 row - 4 white, 26 blue
Here we are talking about how many parts it is necessary to divide an A4 sheet in order to make elements for work from it.
9th row - 3 white, 27 blue
Modules are prepared from each separate piece of paper. To do this, you need to fold it in half, then connect the edges to get a triangle, the lower part of which will protrude slightly. Here we also fold the edges to the middle line. We fold the resulting flat paper triangle in half and get a module for further work. So it is necessary to do the same with the rest of the elements. The number and color of modules depends on the specific scheme.
10, 11, 12 rows
Modular Santa Claus
To work on origami Santa Claus, you will need to prepare white, red and light pink blanks, in total 1163 elements are used to make a figure. Of these, 559 will be white, 529 red, 47 pink and 28 light pink.
13-18 row
Step-by-step assembly of modular origami Santa Claus is as follows. The first 5 rows, each of which will consist of 30 red modules, must be laid out of white elements in a circle. In the sixth row, you need to lay out 4 white elements, and the rest will be red. There will be only 3 white modules in the seventh row of white modules. They should be located above the ones that were laid out in the sixth row. We repeat the eighth row in the same way as the sixth.
19-23 rows
Starting from row 9, a pink insert is added. It will alternate in each row by 1-2. They need to be placed on top of each other, like the white elements. We close everything else in red.
On the 19th row, pink modules should end. There will be only one white element in this row and it needs to be fixed with the back side. In the 20th row there will be only red elements, but 2 new white modules are inserted above the white from the previous row.
25 row
Then there are 2 red rows, behind which the formation of the collar and beard of Santa Claus will begin. In rows 22-24, we make only white elements. At 25, you need to start making a mouth from a light pink module. Row 26 will have a pair of pink elements and the rest are white.
Laying out modules
The top of the face, which will go behind a white beard, should also be made light pink. To do this, you need to the right place calculate 8 elements of the desired color. For a product of this size, 4 rows for the face will be enough.
30 row
Then everything is complemented by a couple of rows of white modules, which will symbolize the hat of Santa Claus, and then everything gradually goes to decrease with red elements.
32 row
The work on the modular origami technique is interesting because here you can show your imagination, and not act clearly according to the established scheme. In the process of creating origami Santa Claus, the master may have a desire to complement the product additional elements... For example, it is not at all necessary to tinker with Santa Claus with a long beard. Someone will want to give the character a wider smile. In general, the proposed scheme can be easily changed.
37 and 38 rows
As for the colors, you can combine not only traditional red with white, but also blue or gold with white modules. Novice origami masters can try their hand at smaller products, but it can be difficult to achieve realism in them, that is, the beard can be mixed with the face, hat, etc.

The face of Santa Claus also needs to be further refined. In the place where the light pink modules were used, it is necessary to glue the eyes and red nose. All this can be cut out of colored paper, but the toy will look more spectacular if the eyes are purchased in a specialized store, and the nose is made from a pin with a large round tip.

Everything will take 633 red-brown modules and 269 yellow ones. The color of the sleigh can be changed if desired. For example, if possible, you can use glossy golden paper. Such a sleigh will look just gorgeous.
As for the Santa Claus sleigh, the modular rigs are made step by step in a certain sequence. From the first to the third row, we simply make 60 red-brown elements each. In the fourth, we are already alternating 4 yellow - 20 red - 4 yellow - 32 red. The back of the sled will be on the left, and the front on the right. We begin to assemble the product from the back. In the fifth row, insert 1 yellow module - 31 brown - 1 yellow. From the sixth to the eighth we do the same, but one red-brown element less each time.

Also 14, 16 and 18, but in the middle there are only 20 reddish-brown elements. In the 17th and 19th rows there will be 19 red-brown ones, in addition to the side yellows, and in the 20th row there will be one more element less. We finish this part with a row of some yellow modules.
After that, you can proceed to the design of the front side. Here, 4 rows will be ready, and from the fifth to the seventh we lay out one yellow one on the sides and from 17 to 15 red-brown ones. At the end there will be 18 yellow elements.
On this sleigh of Santa Claus can be considered ready. To them you can add a red bag using the modular origami technique, which is very simple.
