Plum Blossom Ornament

[Origami] Ume Blossom Ornament Made Together with a 3-Year-Old | “Origami” Ume Blossom created with a 3-year-old child.

Here’s an idea for making a “Plum Blossom Ornament” with origami.

There’s a cutting step, so please have scissors ready.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle and align the top corner with the center of the base.

At this point, press only the center to make a crease mark, then unfold without making a full fold.

Fold the top corner down to meet the crease mark, then fold the left and right corners up toward the corners of the folded-down triangle.

Flip the paper over, bring the left and right edges to the center, and fold neatly so that the left side is on the bottom.

Fold up the triangle on the back and return it to its original position, draw a cutting line, cut along it, and you’re done!

A cute fox that can sing and play

Origami Theater “Fox” / Easy and Quick to Make / Cute, Heartwarming Childcare

Please prepare two sheets of yellow origami paper and one sheet of red origami paper.

Fold both yellow sheets into triangles.

With one of them, turn the base to the top and fold both side edges diagonally inward to make the fox’s face.

With the other, keep the base at the bottom and fold up the left and right corners in the same way to make the fox’s body.

Attach a nose to the bottom corner of the fox’s face, draw the eyes, and glue the face to the body.

At this point, if you attach a diamond-shaped piece cut from the red origami to the back side of the corner where you placed the nose, lifting that nose corner will make it look like the fox is opening its mouth.

stag beetle

[Origami] Summer origami “Stag Beetle” to make with a 3-year-old child

A big hit with kids! Here’s a fun stag beetle craft idea.

Stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles are insects that children really admire.

This time, let’s make a stag beetle—famous for its large jaws—using origami.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper and a pen.

It’s best to choose a color that matches the image of a stag beetle your child has in mind.

For steps where layers of paper need to be tucked in, it’s reassuring to work together with a parent or teacher.

We hope it turns into a wonderful creation that kids will be proud to show off to friends and family.

A flapping pigeon

Origami That Delights Babies: Flapping Pigeon ☆ “Action Pigeon” [With Voice Commentary]

Focus on movement! Here’s an idea for a flapping pigeon that moves.

Many children are drawn to moving toys, right? While origami often brings to mind flat creations, it turns out you can make pieces that move and flap, too! This time, let’s make a cute, flapping pigeon.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper and a pen.

Pigeons are familiar birds for children, aren’t they? If your child enjoys spotting pigeons while out on walks or trips, give this a try!

A fish you can make by folding five times

[Origami for Summer Festivals] Easy-to-Fold Fish

Let me show you a very simple way to fold a fish.

First, fold it into a triangle and open it to make a crease.

Fold the left corner slightly inward, then fold it back into a triangle.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to the bottom edge, and then make a valley fold on the right corner—and you’re done! Feel free to draw the face, fins, and scales as you like.

Even if the folding angles aren’t exact, it won’t affect the finished fish; in fact, you’ll end up with a charming, unique fish.

It sounds like a great way to fully enjoy the fun of origami!
