Origami flowers that even 3-year-olds can easily enjoy.

As children fold, using different colored papers and varying shapes naturally nurtures their sense of color and expressive skills.

Fun for 3-year-olds! A collection of easy and enjoyable flower origami ideas (21–30)
Easy and cute tulip
It’s an idea that takes six folds for the flower part and seven folds for the stem and leaves.
This count includes steps like folding corners to refine the shape and pulling out the leaves, so when you actually make it, it will feel simpler.
First, fold the flower origami into a triangle, then fold both corners up diagonally.
Next, fold the left, right, and bottom corners into triangles to finish the flower.
For the stem and leaves, fold the origami into a triangle twice, then unfold one layer to return to a single fold.
Fold the left and right edges to meet the center line.
Then fold up the bottom, fold the paper in half, and pull apart the split sections on both sides to form the leaves.
The part left in the center is the stem, so attach the flower there to complete it.
How to fold a tulip bouquet
A bouquet of tulips that’s perfect as a handmade gift for someone who’s helped you.
For the flowers, fold the origami into a triangle and make a crease down the center.
Fold the left and right corners diagonally toward the center line to form the petals.
Round off the left and right corners and the flower part is complete.
Using the same folding method, make five flowers, changing the origami colors as you like.
For the leaves, make a center crease and fold the left and right corners toward the center.
The key is to leave a gap at the center and fold into a triangle.
Using the same method, fold eight leaf-and-stem pieces.
Attach the flowers, stems, and leaves together, then wrap them with gift wrapping paper to finish.
It may be appreciated as a heartfelt present.
Cute for display! 3D tulips
Introducing a tulip idea that results in a striking piece by curving the tips of the petals! After doing the “zabuton fold,” which gathers the corners of the origami to the center, fold it into a triangle twice, squash the pocket that forms, and return the paper to a square.
Fold the corners of the square on both sides to the center line, flip the paper so the folded parts are on the inside, and then fold the bottom edge slightly inward.
Cut the bottom corner of the origami and puff it out from the inside to complete the tulip flower.
Curve the tips of the petals for a three-dimensional finish, attach the stem and leaves, and you’re done.
Also great for walls! A cherry blossom made with 5 sheets of origami
Let’s make a cherry blossom using five sheets of origami.
Prepare five sheets of origami paper and start folding.
First, fold the paper into a triangle once; the key for the second triangle fold is to offset the tip slightly as you fold.
Fold up the side where the paper is not fluttering, and fold the opposite side to match the crease.
It’s also recommended to use glue to hold it in place so it doesn’t spread open.
Make five pieces in the same way, combine them, and finish as a single cherry blossom.
Using different colors of origami to create a variety of colorful cherry blossoms is also cute.
An easy way to fold a tulip
It’s a clever idea that recreates one of the tulip’s features: leaves shaped to hide the stem.
For the flower, you basically fold the origami into a triangle, then fold up both corners.
Tuck the tips to the back to round them off for a nice finish.
For the leaves, fold the origami into a triangle to make a crease, open it, then fold the top and bottom corners to the center.
Next, fold all four edges slightly away from the initial crease.
At this point, make sure the top, bottom, left, and right corners come to sharp points.
Once all edges are folded, fold the paper in half along the crease, then overlap the left and right corners to halve it again.
Finally, fold one of the overlapped corners back diagonally, and you’re done.
Perfect for pairing with potted origami too! Cute tulips
A tulip that looks cute displayed with a potted plant and can stand on its own.
For the flower, fold the origami into a triangle twice, then fold both sides up to meet the tip at the center to form the base of the flower.
Fold a petal from the center toward the lower right, then open it with your finger and make a squash fold so the petal puffs out.
When overlapping and folding the petals so they cross the center line, the key is to keep an eye on the overall balance.
For the leaves, cut toward the center line with scissors, leaving a narrow stem section, and insert the cut origami into the pocket area.
If you glue the stem section together, you’ll create a stronger stem.
After making squash folds on the leaves to shape them, attach the flower and leaves together to finish.
Smile Flower
Spring is the season when it gets warmer and insects and plants come to life, isn’t it? Among the flowers that show us their cute faces in spring, this time I’ll show you how to make a smiling “Smile Flower.” First, fold the paper in half both ways to make creases, then open it.
Fold all four corners toward the center point.
Once that’s done, repeat the same step one more time.
Next, fold down each of the corners gathered at the center one by one.
Try folding as if you’re opening flower petals.
Fold down the inner corners in the same way, and you’re finished.
Lastly, draw a cheerful smile in the center of the flower!
