Pacific saury

[Can be done in 2 minutes] Simple and cute! 6 types of autumn origami 🎃👻🍄

It’s a lovely idea to feel the “appetite of autumn” by folding a Pacific saury (sanma) with origami.

First, fold the paper in half into a triangle and open it back up.

Fold both sides in toward the crease.

Next, fold the left and right sides of the saury’s body toward the center.

The width you fold will change how thick the fish is, so let the kids choose the width they like.

For the tail at the bottom, have an adult make a small cut, then fold it open to the left and right.

Finally, fold the head section toward the center, and your saury is complete! Add color, draw eyes, or put on eye stickers—have fun making all kinds of saury.

squirrel

[Origami] Easy and Cute Squirrel Craft ♡ [How to Make]

As an autumn-themed animal, how about making a squirrel that loves nuts? It’s great as a motif for craft projects, and also recommended for helping with wall decorations.

First, fold the paper in half to make a triangle, then fold both ends toward the center as if making a paper cup.

Flip it upside down, then fold the tip of the triangle upward.

On the front, fold up the white section at the bottom, and make a small reverse fold at the tip to represent the squirrel’s belly.

On the back, make a slit along the border where it meets the body.

Please have an adult handle any scissor work.

Slightly fold both sides of the body, then fold up the part with the slit and shape it into a tail.

Have the children draw the squirrel’s facial expression!

dragonfly

How to make a simple dragonfly

Many children are familiar with dragonflies they see in autumn—chasing them or following them with their eyes while playing outside.

Here’s how to make a dragonfly with origami.

First, make the body.

Fold the paper in half into a triangle, then unfold.

Next, fold both sides toward the center crease.

Then fold the corners in toward the center.

Fold to hide any remaining white areas, and the body is complete.

Next, use a separate sheet of origami paper to make the wings.

Fold it in half into a triangle so the white side shows.

Then unfold and fold the left and right sides toward the center, leaving a small gap between them.

Flip it over, fold back the corners, and have an adult make small cuts with scissors.

Fold small sections from the cut edges to shape the wings.

Make two wings and attach them to the body to finish! Since there are many steps, it may be good to spread the project over several days.
