Halloween origami that captivates 2-year-olds! A fun collection of ideas to make together with your child (1–10)
ghost
Making ghosts out of origami sounds exciting.
The shape is simple enough for small hands to fold easily, so everyone can enjoy working on it together.
Using plain white origami paper will give it a ghostly feel.
If you add eyes and a mouth at the end, you’ll have a collection of unique ghosts.
It’s sure to spark the children’s imaginations.
Displaying the ghosts in the classroom will also enhance the Halloween atmosphere.
Working together will make for fun memories, too.
Through seasonal activities like this, children’s creativity and expressive abilities can be nurtured.
Accordion-fold bat
An accordion-fold bat that can also be used as a Halloween room decoration.
Since it can be made with a few parts centered around construction paper, it’s recommended for childcare settings with two-year-old children.
The key is to pre-cut the paper for the wings, eyes, and ears into separate parts.
Fold a square sheet of construction paper in half three times to make creases, then accordion-fold along the lines and secure the center with tape.
Align the two ends to form a paper fan.
Finally, attach the wings, ears, and eyes to complete a three-dimensional bat.
Halloween hat
Try making a classic Halloween cosplay item: a witch’s hat.
First, fold the paper into a triangle and open it up.
Then fold two sides to align with the crease you just made, and open it again.
Using those three creases as guides, form an isosceles triangle.
Roll up the base edge tightly as you fold, and the hat is complete! The rolled part looks just like the brim of the hat.
Stick it onto a jack-o’-lantern face you made separately to boost the Halloween vibe! To make it lively, use a variety of colored papers.
Paper fan pumpkin bat
These paper fan Halloween decorations are eye-catching and guaranteed to make everyone smile.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half several times, then accordion-fold along those creases.
Fold the now-narrow strip in half, fan it out, and glue three pieces together to form a neat circle.
Finally, add eyes, a mouth, and a nose as you like, and it’s done.
By changing the color of the paper, you can make all kinds of spooky characters like pumpkins and skulls.
Make one in black and attach wings on both sides to turn it into a bat! Stick them on the wall to boost the Halloween mood.
A ghost wearing a hat
This is a cute ghost origami made with two sheets of origami paper.
First, take a white sheet cut in half and fold the two top corners.
When folding the two bottom corners, fold them toward the center, then fold them back once more.
Fold back the top part, then fold back the bottom part with a slight curve to complete the ghost.
Next, make the hat using a sheet cut into quarters.
Fold two corners toward the center, then fold the remaining corner over to overlap, create the hat’s brim, and you’re done.
It’s a fun idea for 2-year-olds, and they can enjoy drawing the ghost’s face too.
Pumpkin wearing a hat
Here’s a craft idea for a Halloween pumpkin wearing a hat.
First, fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.
Fold the left and right corners toward the center, then make small reverse folds on the remaining corners and fold up the bottom—your pumpkin is done.
If you tape the parts on the back, it will be more stable.
Fold the hat in the same way as the pumpkin, and when you fold back the corners, shape the brim.
Finally, draw illustrations on the pumpkin and hat to decorate, and you’re finished.
Repeating the same steps makes this a great fine-motor activity for 2-year-olds.
A pumpkin that breaks after five folds
A Halloween pumpkin you can make with just five folds of origami.
It’s also fun to decorate the finished piece with pens or crayons, or draw a jack-o’-lantern face.
The steps are simple: fold the origami in sequence with the colored side facing down.
With the paper turned to a diamond orientation, fold the top corner toward the center.
Next, make small folds on the left and right corners, and finally fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold it back until a little point sticks out—done! This is a great origami craft for 2-year-olds to practice fine motor skills.
