poisonous mushroom

Here’s an idea for making your own original poisonous mushrooms.
What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color, glue or tape, pens or crayons, and round stickers.
It’s a fun idea that sparks children’s creativity and fills them with excitement! Use origami paper in any color you like to create your very own unique poisonous mushroom.
Draw bold patterns with pens or crayons, add mysterious hues with round stickers, and you’ll end up with mushrooms full of personality! Once you’ve made your captivating poisonous mushrooms, you’ll find it so much fun you won’t want to stop.
A self-supporting mushroom

Let’s decorate your room with mushrooms you’ve made! Here’s an idea for mushrooms that can stand on their own.
All you need are origami papers in your favorite colors and patterns, plus glue or tape runner.
The step where you open the origami’s pocket and fold it is a bit tricky, but it’s an important point! Since these standing mushrooms can be placed anywhere, they’ll make your room look cute and lively.
Fold origami in colors and patterns you love and make mushrooms that match your space! It also sounds fun to decorate them with pens or stickers.
ghost

Making origami ghosts is perfect for the Halloween season.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold two sides as if you were making the tip of a paper airplane.
Next, fold the corners diagonally downward from the center toward the outside.
Lightly fold both ends inward.
Fold the top corner down, and fold the bottom corner up at a diagonal to create a tail.
Flip it over and draw a ghost face however you like.
If you hang up lots of ghosts, the classroom will be filled with a Halloween vibe.
How about enjoying Halloween together with the children?

owl

How about using an owl motif for an origami project that captures the feeling of autumn? First, fold the paper in half into a triangle and open it, then fold along the other diagonal to make creases.
Place it so that the corners are at the top, bottom, left, and right.
Fold the top corner down toward the center to about one-third of the way.
It helps if the teacher draws a guide mark.
Next, fold the bottom corner up so it meets the top corner.
Then fold the left and right corners in to align with the center line.
Slightly fold the bottom corner (the one you folded up) back down to form the owl’s beak.
After that, draw the face however you like.
persimmon

Let’s make autumn fruit persimmons with the children.
First, fold an orange origami sheet into a triangle by bringing the edges to the center, then unfold it.
Do the same along the other diagonal and unfold again.
Next, fold the top corner down to the center, then fold it back up slightly so the tip sticks out a little.
Fold the left, right, and bottom corners to create a rounded persimmon shape.
Turn the paper over, and fold the protruding tip downward.
This part represents the calyx and leaf of the persimmon, so have the children color it with a green pen.
If you prepare orange origami in different shades, you can make an even greater variety of persimmons.
pumpkin

As autumn approaches, even children in nurseries and kindergartens can feel the change of the seasons.
So let’s make an origami jack-o’-lantern, the symbol of Halloween, in preparation for the end of October.
First, place the origami paper so that a corner points downward, and fold the bottom corner up toward the center.
Next, make small folds with the two side corners.
Then fold the top corner down toward the center and fold it back so it sticks out slightly.
Flip it over, and the pumpkin shape is complete! Try drawing pumpkin-like patterns or, while showing an example, draw jack-o’-lantern faces—have fun creating a variety of pumpkins.
mushroom

Origami mushrooms are brimming with autumn charm.
They’re perfect to make with three-year-olds, too.
With simple steps, adorable mushroom faces take shape.
If you decorate the walls or ceiling with the finished mushrooms, the room will be wrapped in an autumn atmosphere.
Making them together also becomes a chance to develop new fine motor skills.
Talking about mushroom names, characteristics, and ways to eat them during the activity will spark the children’s curiosity even more.
It’s a lovely activity that lets you enjoy creating while feeling the autumn nature.
