[For 1-year-olds] Play with your child! Easy summer origami ideas

Magic Triangle

[Origami] A shape that changes again and again!? Magic Triangle ★ With easy folding diagram ★ | Origami Magic Triangle

Let me introduce a curious toy called the Magic Triangle, which changes shape as it squashes and inflates.

The squishy feel when you press it and the sound at the moment it puffs up are sure to stimulate children’s senses.

This Magic Triangle is made using three sheets of origami paper, folding each sheet into parts and assembling them.

Although there are many steps, the result is sturdy, making it suitable for repeated play by one-year-olds who are still learning to control their strength.

Try making them with origami in different colors, patterns, and sizes to deepen children’s interest while having fun.

♪ Happy Cha-Cha BGM – MaksJ

A quirky shark that bends! Here’s how to fold a shark using a single sheet of origami paper.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color and some decorations for the eyes and mouth.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Using the corner as a pivot, fold one corner up to the center, then fold the tip down along the crease.

Repeat the same steps on the other side, layering the folds.

Finish by decorating the shark’s eyes and mouth, and you’re done.

It’s also cute if kids draw the eyes and mouth with crayons, so that’s recommended!

fish with a big mouth

[Easy Origami] Big-Mouthed Fish 🐟 How to Make a Paper Fish #魚 #さかな #fish #मछली #pez #poisson #рыба #魚 #cá #물고기 #howto #origami

The wide-open mouth is so cute! Here’s an idea for a big-mouthed fish craft.

You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, and a pen.

You can make the distinctive large mouth by inserting and connecting the origami into a circle, which is perfect for developing fine motor skills.

By adjusting the size of the origami, you can create fish in any size and add your own touch.

Finish by using round stickers and a pen to draw the eyes and patterns, and you’ll have an even more charming fish! It’s simple, yet with a little creativity you can enjoy lots of variations—highly recommended.

a twirling fruit

Origami you can play with: “Kurukuru no Mi” (Spinning Fruit)

Things that spin—like car tires, windmills, fans, and tops—have a mysterious charm that captivates children, don’t they? For kids who love that kind of thing, this toy is highly recommended: the Spinning Seed.

If you drop it from a high place, it twirls as it falls, which is so fun to watch that you’ll want to do it over and over.

Since making it involves lots of delicate steps and is fairly difficult, an adult should do the crafting.

The challenge makes the sense of accomplishment even greater when you see it spin beautifully once it’s finished.

Drop them together from a slightly higher spot, and it’s sure to be a hit! Picture the kids’ delighted faces and give it a try.

Boing Origami

No scissors needed! Fun and playful origami: Stretchy toy origami (childcare ideas for kids) · Origami toy

Let’s make a fun origami toy that stretches and shrinks with a boing—so addictive! A nice bonus: you don’t need scissors.

Some steps, like creasing lines and gluing parts together, are a bit tricky, so an adult should do the making.

Since you’ll use several sheets of origami paper, let the kids pick their favorite colors and patterns.

Once you build it properly, you can play with it over and over, and it’s great for fine motor skills, too! It folds up compactly, making it easy to carry around.

It might also be fun to use this toy to create a jack-in-the-box.

Give it a try and have fun playing!

[Origami] How to fold a Pac-Pac (Pakkuncho) — a lively activity everyone can enjoy! Origami play — #play #childcare #nurseryteacher #kids #athomeplay #craftactivity #origami #video #folding #craft

Here’s how to make a “Pakupaku,” whose unique movements spark children’s curiosity.

Many of you may remember playing with one when you were kids.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper in half, then fold it in half again to make a quarter-sized square and create crease lines.

Open it back up, then fold all four corners into the center.

Flip it over and again fold all four corners into the center.

Finally, fold it in half, and place your thumbs and index fingers into the pockets—now it’s ready.

Of course, you can have fun opening and closing it, but it’s also great to let kids decorate a Pakupaku that an adult has folded by drawing pictures or adding stickers.

Pac-Pac Fish

Surprisingly easy 💫 Pac-Man fish 🐟 #origami

Let me show you an easy way to fold a fish whose mouth opens and closes.

Fold the origami paper into thirds both vertically and horizontally to make crease lines, then unfold.

If you have a 3×3 grid of squares, you’re set.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases and unfold, then add one vertical crease on each side of the center line and unfold again.

Fold the top and bottom corners inward along the three vertical creases to form the protruding parts.

Pinch the left and right corners and fold along the creases—like magic, it turns into a fish shape! Fold the tail fin and dorsal fin inward, puff it up slightly, and it’s done.

If you pinch it top and bottom, the mouth opens and closes—very fun!
