Super easy! Origami play ideas for autumn that even 1-year-olds can do

Grapes made with rings

Here’s an easy way to make grapes using paper loops.

Prepare several long, narrow strips of purple origami paper in different shades and combine them.

Instead of simply linking the loops, cross them as you connect them to create a realistic grape cluster shape.

Once the shape is formed, secure a few spots with glue.

Attach a leaf at the end, and your delicious-looking grape cluster is complete.

Make several and stick them on the wall to create a seasonal wall decoration.

You can also prepare the paper loops for the grape clusters in advance.

Easy! How to fold an apple

[Preschool Craft] Easy Origami Apple: How to Make It♪

Let’s make a winter treat—an apple—using two sheets of origami paper.

You’ll need a standard 15 cm red sheet for the fruit and a small orange sheet for the stem.

First, we’ll make the fruit.

Place the red paper with the white side facing up, fold it in half top to bottom, and crease well.

Fold the bottom edge up to the crease.

Fold the top left and right corners in toward the center.

Rotate the paper 180 degrees, then fold three corners inward into triangles.

Next, fold the two new side corners inward the same way.

Cut a small slit at the center of the top edge, open the cut outward and crease—this completes the fruit.

For the stem, fold the orange paper into a rectangle, then roll it tightly from a corner to make a thin strip.

Attach it into the slit you made, and your origami apple is finished.

Perfect for autumn! How to fold a mushroom (origami)

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Origami Mushroom Tutorial♪

When it comes to autumn flavors, mushrooms are a classic! Let me show you how to make a mushroom using just one sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half into a rectangle, then fold it in half again to make a square.

Unfold it completely, then fold two corners toward the center.

Flip it over and fold the bottom half upward.

Flip it back, tuck the left and right sides inward, then fold the whole piece in half.

Fold down only the white section, then tuck the white part inside to finish.

For the mushroom cap, tuck in the corners to round the shape overall.

It might look cute if you draw some patterns on it, too!
