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

Magic Spiral Cube

[Playable Origami] Surprisingly Easy! Stretchy and Fun! How to Fold a Magic Spiral Cube [Origami] Playable Simple Craft

At first glance, the “Magic Spiral Cube” looks like nothing more than overlapping flat squares, but if you hold both ends and pull while twisting, amazingly, everything transforms into cubes! For a two-year-old, you could put a little face at the beginning of the cube to make it look like a caterpillar—they’d probably love it.

First, use a single sheet of origami paper to make one part.

Make as many parts as needed to reach your desired length.

It’s complete once you stack and assemble the parts, but the process is a bit intricate—you’ll need to open parts to overlap them, or lift just a section to tuck it in.

Assemble it step by step, checking each stage as you go.
