Fun spring craft ideas using origami to make with your one-year-old!

Stained glass-style cherry blossoms

Let’s make a stained-glass-style cherry blossom using construction paper, OPP tape, and transparent chiyogami.

First, cut out five cherry blossom petals from the construction paper; for three of them, cut out the inside so only the outline remains.

Place the outlined petals on a piece of parchment (cooking) paper, stick OPP tape on top, then cut along the petal shapes and peel off the parchment paper.

Attach small pieces of transparent chiyogami to the adhesive side of the OPP tape.

Once all three are done, assemble them together with the remaining two petals to form the cherry blossom, add handprint-shaped leaves, and you’re finished!

A 3D ladybug made by rolling origami

Let me share an idea for making a ladybug using a clear cup and origami paper.

First, prepare the ladybug’s face parts using construction paper.

You can either draw the face or use stickers.

Next, tear or crumple red origami paper into small pieces.

Once you’re ready, put the small pieces of origami into the clear cup, close the lid, and attach the face parts.

Finally, stick black round stickers on the cup lid to make the spots, and you’re done! The post uses tissue paper, but you can make it with origami paper too, so give it a try!

A flapping pigeon

Origami That Delights Babies: Flapping Pigeon ☆ “Action Pigeon” [With Voice Commentary]

Focus on movement! Here’s an idea for a flapping pigeon that moves.

Many children are drawn to moving toys, right? While origami often brings to mind flat creations, it turns out you can make pieces that move and flap, too! This time, let’s make a cute, flapping pigeon.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper and a pen.

Pigeons are familiar birds for children, aren’t they? If your child enjoys spotting pigeons while out on walks or trips, give this a try!

strawberry paper bag

Create your very own original paper bag! Here are some ideas for strawberry-themed paper bags.

What you’ll need: a kraft paper bag, origami paper, googly-eye stickers, white round stickers, glue or double-sided tape.

Many of you may want to preserve children’s ideas and designs like works of art, or even turn them into usable goods.

Let’s easily make an original bag.

The method is simply tearing origami paper and sticking it on.

It’s simple, yet full of character, and will make for a special craft.

Fun flip-and-find Easter eggs

We’d like to introduce a fun Easter egg wall display where cute animals pop out of eggs when you peel them open.

Get scissors, construction paper, double-sided tape, glue, crayons, and colored pens ready, and let’s get started.

Sketch on the construction paper and cut out animal shapes.

The key is to cut them to the same size.

On the base sheet, place the animal cutout and then attach the egg on top so that the opening lines up with the animal’s face.

Once it’s complete, gently tear along the slit by hand—the egg will ‘crack,’ and the animal will peek out from inside! It’s a perfect wall decoration for the Easter season.

Sparkly-winged butterfly

Let’s make one with colored foil origami! Here’s an idea for a butterfly with sparkly wings.

Colored foil origami has a unique texture and a beautiful finish, giving a more glamorous impression than regular origami.

This time, let’s make the butterfly that appears in the beloved children’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” It’s also great practice for cutting straight with scissors.

For toddlers, it might be easier if they tear the paper by hand to create their own arrangement.

Let’s have fun sticking stickers with our fingertips! Here are some strawberry craft ideas you can make with sticker pasting.

For one-year-olds, sticking stickers is a wonderful activity that nurtures fine motor skills and concentration.

Placing stickers helps them practice using their fingertips and learn precise movements and pressure control.

Completing a craft also gives them a sense of accomplishment and boosts their confidence.

You’ll need a craft paper plate, construction paper, and round stickers.

Give it a try!
