Fun Halloween Origami for 3-Year-Olds

Many places likely incorporate origami into their Halloween crafts.

Origami is easy to include, but the difficulty can vary depending on the folding method.

In this article, we’ll introduce Halloween origami ideas for three-year-olds.

While jack-o’-lanterns and pumpkins are classic Halloween motifs, we also show how to fold other Halloween-themed items like ghosts, bats, and black cats.

You can fold various pieces, combine them for decorations, and enjoy them as wreaths or wall displays.

After folding the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it and place the origami so the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the top corner down to align with that crease.

Fold the left and right corners to the center line to crease them, then unfold.

Make step folds so the creases you just made overlap with the center line, open the pocketed parts, and squash-fold them into triangles.

These will be the ghost’s hands.

Fold both top corners into small triangles to round the ghost’s head, then fold the left and right edges of the bottom corner to the center line to form the tail.

Turn the paper over, fold both hands inward, and fold the tail up at an angle.

It’s complete.

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.

Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.

Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.

After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.

Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.

Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.

Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.

If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.

Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.

Cute Halloween bat

Fold the paper into a triangle by matching the top and bottom corners.

Crease well, then open it.

This time, overlap the left and right corners slightly out of alignment and fold.

Fold up the base, leaving a little of the top corner of the triangle visible, then fold that remaining corner down—this will be the bat’s head.

Fold the paper in half along the vertical center line, and fold in the left and right sides of the head, aligning edges to edges, creasing as you go to shape the bat’s wings.

Once all the creases are made, open the paper and make wavy cuts along the lower part of the wings to finish.
