Easy Origami “Rice Ball” to Fold with a 4-Year-Old / ORIGAMI Tokaen

I’ll show you how to make onigiri that kids love.

Prepare one sheet of black origami paper and let’s get started.

Fold it into a triangle with the black side on the inside.

Fold both corners of the triangle up toward the center.

With the loose flaps facing you, hold the three layers of paper and fold them upward so they form the seaweed (nori) on the onigiri.

Make firm crease lines—it might take a bit of effort, but that’s the key point.

Flip it over and fold the remaining single layer up as well, then puff it up from the inside to give it shape, and you’re done! It can be fun to make several onigiri and arrange them like a bento lunch.

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!
