[Origami] Simple Origami Ideas to Feel the Spring with 3-Year-Olds

Strawberry Pocket

Carry snacks and small items with you! Here are some ideas for a strawberry pocket.

All you need is red or pink origami paper and crayons or colored pencils.

The front features a cute strawberry with a leafy top, while the back is a pouch-style pocket—such a unique idea.

It’s perfect for yourself or as a small gift for someone.

Some of the folding steps are a bit tricky, so it’s best to work on it together with a parent or teacher.

Give it a try and have fun making it!

strawberry paper bag

Create your very own original paper bag! Here are some ideas for strawberry-themed paper bags.

What you’ll need: a kraft paper bag, origami paper, googly-eye stickers, white round stickers, glue or double-sided tape.

Many of you may want to preserve children’s ideas and designs like works of art, or even turn them into usable goods.

Let’s easily make an original bag.

The method is simply tearing origami paper and sticking it on.

It’s simple, yet full of character, and will make for a special craft.

cucumber

How about an idea for folding a cucumber out of origami to spark more interest in vegetables? This one uses a simple method that even toddlers can enjoy! Prepare a sheet of green origami paper cut in half.

Place the half sheet with the short side at the top, then fold it in half vertically.

Even at this stage it looks like a long, rectangular cucumber, but if you slightly fold all four corners inward to round them, it will look even more like a real cucumber! You can draw prickles with crayons, and adding eyes and a mouth makes it cute, too.

honeybee

@sachimama_asobi

I tried making a simple and cute little honeybee! ✨🐝 Today, by my sons’ request, we made a “bee.” 🍯 Materials: - 1 sheet of yellow origami paper (15 cm × 15 cm) - 2 sheets of white origami paper (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm) - A little black origami paper (for the stripes/pattern) We’ll make it using glue. When you make it with origami, it turns out super cute, but be careful around real bees! 🥹✨ It’s easy, so be sure to save this and give it a try! +——————————————+ I’m Sachi-mama, raising three energetic boys ages 8, 6, and 2❀ I share play ideas and easy crafts with kids using 100-yen items, natural materials, and recyclables.
