Halloween origami that captivates 2-year-olds! A fun collection of ideas to make together with your child

Halloween bag

Here’s a handmade Halloween bag idea that’s great for preschoolers.

It can be made with just a single sheet of origami paper, so it works well in settings with many children.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold up the bottom corner.

Next, fold it in half and use scissors to cut it, leaving the handle portion, and fold the cut sections inward.

Finally, unfold the bottom corner back to its original position and glue it in place to finish.

This simple, few-step bag helps children practice fine motor skills while giving them a sense of accomplishment and the fun of origami.

A ghost whose hands move

How about making a Halloween origami ghost with flappy, wiggly hands that’s fun to play with? Enjoy crafting it together as a parent and child to boost the Halloween mood! The charm of this idea is that you can make it with just one sheet of origami paper.

There aren’t too many folds, so it should be easy even for three-year-olds! By bending the ghost’s hands, it becomes three-dimensional, looks animated, and super cute.

Draw adorable faces—like a tongue-out face or a smiley—and decorate with them to make your Halloween lively for sure!

Pumpkin and ghost in one shot

[Halloween Origami] Pumpkin and Ghost with One Sheet of Paper [ハロウィン折り紙] 1枚でカボチャとおばけ

When people hear “Halloween,” many probably picture pumpkins and ghosts.

That’s why I recommend this piece: “Pumpkin and Ghost with a Single Sheet.” As the title suggests, it’s a simple art project that lets you create both a pumpkin and a ghost using just one sheet of paper.

The shapes look intricate, but the folding itself is straightforward, so even young children whose fine motor skills are still developing can make it.

In the video, the facial features are drawn with a pen, but depending on the type of origami paper, the ink may bleed or the color may not adhere well.

In that case, it’s also a good idea to cut the parts from a different sheet of origami and paste them on.

A ghost made with just five folds

[Nursery Teacher’s Observation Diary] Origami Ghost #shorts

When it comes to big events in October, Halloween is the standout.

Let’s boost the Halloween mood by making a ghost out of origami! Open a sheet folded into a triangle, then, as if you were making the tip of a paper airplane, fold the two sides along the crease.

Next, fold the opposite tip flat, then treat the pointed side as the tail and fold it diagonally.

Finally, flip it over and draw the face and hands, and you’re done! Since there aren’t many intricate steps, it should be easy for kids to learn.

Try making lots of them along with things like origami skeletons!
