[Origami] Try it with your 2-year-old! Easy spring origami ideas

peach blossoms

Let’s try making a spring blossom—peach flowers—out of origami! There are quite a few steps in this folding process, so please work through it together with the teachers.

First, make a petal out of origami paper; once you’ve made five petals of the same shape, glue them together to finish the flower.

Since you’ll be making multiple identical pieces, it’s helpful for teachers to demonstrate and fold along together.

You can enjoy displaying the finished flowers on the wall, or hang them as a mobile using clear thread—they’ll look super cute either way! The sight of the hanging peach blossoms swaying in the breeze is sure to captivate the children.

horsetail

[Origami] How to Fold a 'Horsetail' <Yoshimoto Comedians>

When spring arrives, horsetail shoots pop up above the ground.

Horsetail is one of the plants that signal the coming of spring.

When you go out for a walk, try looking for them along riverbanks and embankments.

Let’s make this familiar plant, horsetail, with origami! There are quite a few slightly complicated steps, so be sure to fold along with an adult or a teacher.

Horsetail often grows in clusters, so make lots of them and decorate! If you display them together with spring creatures like butterflies and ladybugs, it’s a fun idea that will let you feel spring indoors, too.

pinwheel

Origami Windmill: Easy folding method for ages 2 and up

Let me show you how to make a pinwheel that’s perfect for spring.

We’ll fold it using the basic “two-layer boat” method.

With this method, identical boat shapes appear on the top and bottom; usually you’d fold those together to complete the boat, but since we’re making a pinwheel, stop at the point where the matching top and bottom boats are formed.

Next, create the pinwheel’s blades by folding the bottom-left corner downward and the top-right corner upward—that’s it! It looks super cute in lots of different colors.

Display it in your room to bring in the feeling of a pleasant spring breeze.
