Origami flowers that even 3-year-olds can easily enjoy.
Origami helps develop concentration and creativity by using the hands, so it’s recommended to incorporate simple flower origami into childcare activities.
As children fold, using different colored papers and varying shapes naturally nurtures their sense of color and expressive skills.
The flower folds are simple, and children can create pieces they feel proud of, giving them a sense of accomplishment.
Be sure to enjoy it together with the kids and make lots of lovely flowers.

Fun to roll! Dandelion origamiNEW!
This is a voluminous dandelion origami made by rolling strips.
The petals spread out radially, giving a glamorous look.
Fold the origami paper in half and cut it, then fold each piece in half again.
Apply glue to the edge, join to form a ring, and make fine 5 mm cuts to create the petals.
Roll another piece of paper to make the stem, and fold and snip it to finish the leaves.
Wrap the petals around the stem and fluff them out for added dimension—it also works well as interior decor.
Combining yellow and orange will make it even more vibrant.
How to fold a cute tulipNEW!
Many tulip origami designs have two leaves, but this one features a single-leaf design.
To make the flower, fold a square of origami paper into a triangle, then fold up both corners.
The stem and leaf are created together from a single sheet, without separating them.
First, fold the paper into a triangle to crease it, open it, and fold all four edges to meet the crease.
Then, fold only the right edge the same way once more.
Rotate the paper so the right edge is now at the bottom, and fold it in half by bringing the top and bottom corners together.
Next, fold it in half again along the first crease, then gently pull out the thin inner section slightly to the outside to finish.
Combine it with the flower to complete your tulip.
Plum blossoms perfect for the New Year
The video uses 7.5 cm origami paper, but that may be too small for a three-year-old, so try using regular-size origami paper.
Fold the paper in half into a square and open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the crease.
Repeat the same process with the left and right edges.
Flatten the folded left and right sections to make two boat shapes, then squash both ends of each boat into squares to create four petals.
Turn the paper over and make cuts about halfway along the center creases on all four edges.
Fold the corners created by the cuts slightly inward.
Fold the front petals and the remaining four corners the same way.
Draw the stamen in the center with a pen, and you’re done.
Easy! How to fold a tulipNEW!
Here’s how to fold a tulip that looks cute, comes together quickly, and is easy for anyone to make.
You’ll create it in parts: the flower, the stem, and the leaf.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the top corner down to meet the crease.
Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the top edge; after creasing, unfold it.
Align the two existing creases on the paper and fold along them, then fold up the left and right corners to form the tulip shape.
Tuck in the corners and adjust the shape to finish the flower.
For the stem, fold the paper into a long, narrow strip.
For the leaf, make a “zabuton” (cushion) fold, then fold two opposite corners inward to complete it.
Easy Sunflower OrigamiNEW!
Even young children who are just starting with origami can enjoy this easily! First, fold a yellow piece of origami paper in half into a square twice to make crease lines.
From each corner, fold toward the center along the creases you made.
Then open each folded section outward, leaving a small edge, and the sunflower’s petals are complete.
Next, take green origami paper, fold it once into a triangle and unfold it, then fold both sides toward the center along the crease.
Fold one of the sides toward the center once more, and fold the sharpest tip upward to finish the leaf.
Combine it with the flower you made first and display it!
Cute cherry blossom paper cutoutNEW!
Recommended when you want to mass-produce cherry blossoms with ease! First, fold the origami paper in half vertically.
Then fold it lengthwise again to make it narrow and unfold; also fold it into a square from the opposite direction and unfold to create crease lines.
From one end, fold up toward the crease, then fold the folded section in half and open it.
Next, fold one end toward the part you just folded, then flip the whole piece over and fold it in half.
Finally, make cuts shaped like cherry blossom petals and unfold to finish.
Make cherry blossoms in various colors and sizes and use them as decorations for a variety of spring events.
Also for Hinamatsuri! Cherry Blossom PapercutNEW!
Let’s cut origami paper and make lots of cherry blossoms! Fold the origami into a triangle twice, then open it once.
With the widest angle at the top, crease it in half from the top.
Fold both ends toward the far edge to form a shape like a triangle with three spiky points at the top.
Next, cut it into the shape of a single cherry blossom petal and unfold—done! If you want a papercut-style design, use the same folding method, but while cutting the petal shape, also cut out the center.
When you unfold it, each petal will look slightly hollowed out.
Make them in various colors and sizes, and decorate with plenty of them!
