Ideas for Easy Winter Origami Crafts That Even 2-Year-Olds Will Love

Since it’s the cold season, how about enjoying some indoor origami play? Here, we’ll introduce simple winter origami ideas that you can do together with two-year-olds.

From Santa Claus and Christmas trees to snow bunnies, there are plenty of creations that capture the season! The activities also include elements that promote children’s fine motor development, such as aligning corners and using glue.

All of the projects feature simple steps, making them perfect for fun, hands-on creation in childcare settings—so give them a try.

Because the children’s work is regarded as “artworks,” we use the term “seisaku” (制作) in the text to refer to their creations.

The snowman has evolved! Here’s an idea for making a rabbit snowman with origami.

You’ll need two sheets of white or pink origami paper and a pen.

First, make the rabbit’s face.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then unfold one layer.

Fold up the bottom by about 1.5 cm, then fold both sides upward.

The key is to leave a gap in the middle so the ears don’t touch.

Next, flip it over and tuck the square corners to the back.

Finally, fold the body part, glue the pieces together, and you’re done! If you add facial features with a pen, it will look super cute!

Next, tear the origami paper and stick it onto the plate using glue.

Using patterned origami will look cute, too.

For pieces that stick out at the edge, fold them to the back and glue them down.

Finally, attach the plastic bottle cap with double-sided tape, and you’re done!

Once the glue dries, it’s nice to cut it into an oni face shape.

Finally, glue on the parts, draw the face, and you’re done! Using patterned origami paper is fun, too.
