[Age 2] Summer Fun! Simple Origami Toys Perfect for Indoor Play

Spinning origami

[Origami] Beautiful! Fun! Play with your kids! Easy! Twirling falling origami (around 1 year old and up) Let’s play with origami #Origami #Kindergarten #NurserySchool #Childcare #Parenting #Play

Let’s make a “twirling origami” you can play with just by dropping it from a height! When you drop it, the fluttering strip-like parts spread out and it turns like a propeller, making it fun just to watch.

It can also be enjoyable to observe how the falling speed and the way it spins change depending on the drop height and the type of origami paper.

You can make two of these from a single sheet of origami paper.

The steps are very simple, so an adult can make one in about two minutes.

There is a step where you need to make cuts with scissors, so be sure to have them ready.

The opening and closing mouth is so cute! Let me introduce a fun idea for a chompy little fish.

Fish often appear on the dining table, but they also show up a lot in anime, picture books, fingerplay, and songs.

This time, let’s make an adorable fish with a mouth that opens and closes using origami! You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

Solid-color origami looks lovely, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami will give your fish extra personality.

Kids will absolutely love this! ☺️✨ Chomp-chomp Froggy 🐸💚 Today I tried making a little frog that opens and closes its mouth 🐸✨ This is sure to be a hit with children ☺️ My boys at home can’t get enough of it 👀 You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, plus another sheet cut in half 💓 For the eyes, use round stickers.

Unique and adorable expressions! Here are some fun ideas for a chomp-chomp frog.

Frogs are often seen during the rainy season, but they’re also familiar to children through nursery rhymes and picture books.

This time, let’s make a chomp-chomp frog that feels like you can have a conversation with it, and enjoy interacting with kids.

What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper, one sheet cut in half, glue or double-sided tape, red origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and more.

The lively, talkative movement is sure to capture children’s interest.

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!

Fishing made with origami

[Handmade Toy] Easy with Origami! Fishing 🎣✨ / Perfect for Children's Summer Festival Events♪

Let’s make and play! Here are some ideas for a fishing game made with origami.

When you think of summer, many people probably imagine goldfish scooping at summer festivals, right? On scorching days when it’s hard to go outside, how about enjoying a pretend fishing game indoors? You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, straws, a pen, cellophane tape, and scissors.

When making the fish, the key is to cut the tail into a heart shape! It also sounds fun to freely decorate the fish you make out of origami.

Secret Base Dome

@mami_asobi

Today’s post is the Newspaper Dome. This activity got my child the most excited ever 🤭 It’s spacious—about 5 or 6 kids could fit inside 😁 Kids love secret-base-type spots, right? With the breeze coming in, it felt cool and comfy inside! For a dome this big, one fan might not inflate it enough; using two made it pop up nice and full! If you only have one fan, I recommend making a smaller one 😊 How to play: Go in and out, jump around inside Bring toys into the dome and play Toss in a blanket for a cozy nap Bring in snacks and drinks Stick stickers all over the walls Scribble on the floor or walls with pens Let them go all out, and finish the day by tearing it up—that alone can keep you busy all day 🤭 Materials: About 30 sheets of newspaper (use more or fewer—try any size you like) Packing tape Plastic sheeting (for the ceiling) I made each wall panel with 6 sheets of newspaper this time! The entrance side used 5 sheets! For the ceiling, I opened up two plastic garbage bags and used those! I used plastic for the ceiling to let in light this time, but you can make the ceiling out of newspaper too! Thanks always for watching 😊 Let’s keep adding to our at-home play ideas and enjoy parenting together ☺️✨ At-home play Indoor play Educational play Parent–child time Newspaper play Newspaper dome Secret base Secret-base dome

Original Song – mami_asobi – mami_asobi

Let’s secretly play in your very own room! Here are some ideas for a secret-base dome.

For children, a secret base is a special place that sparks their sense of adventure and imagination.

It’s an appealing space they can use freely—as their personal hideout or a place to invite trusted friends to play together.

This time, let’s make a secret-base dome using materials you already have at home.

You’ll need newspaper, plastic bags, and duct tape.

After making the walls and roof with the newspaper and plastic bags, blow air in through the entrance using a fan.

It will puff up softly and it’s really fun!
