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

How about incorporating origami into a spring craft project for three-year-olds?

Around age three, children’s vocabulary grows, and more of them start showing interest in colors and shapes.

We’ve gathered plenty of spring-themed origami ideas that are perfect for three-year-olds.

There aren’t many folding steps, and the instructions are simple, so even children who aren’t used to origami can enjoy folding!

In addition to folding, there are also ideas that involve cutting with scissors.

We’re introducing lots of spring motifs that kids will be eager to make, so please use them for inspiration.

Because we regard what the children create as “artworks,” we use the term “seisaku (制作)” in the main text.

A strawberry you can make with three folds

A strawberry you can make with three folds

Cute and round! Here’s an idea for making a strawberry with just three folds.

You’ll need red origami paper, green origami paper cut to quarter size, glue, scissors, and colored pencils.

The charm of this idea is how easy it is—you can make it by folding the red paper three times! If you want a rounder shape, fold the corners to the back to adjust as you like.

For the calyx (leafy top), cut the quarter-size green paper into a long vertical strip and glue it on.

Finally, draw the seeds with colored pencils to finish it off!

Let’s make a cute butterfly using construction paper.

First, fold the paper in half, then add creases about 1 centimeter to the left and right of the main crease.

When you do this, make sure the center crease is a mountain fold.

Return the paper to the folded-in-half position and cut out a butterfly shape.

The part with the mountain fold will be the butterfly’s body, so make two horizontal slits in that area.

Finally, tear some colored origami paper and paste it onto the wings to create patterns, add the antennae, and you’re done.

Prepare several colors of origami paper to make a bright, decorative pattern.

Let’s make an adorable, realistic gift box with a fun open-and-close mechanism that you’ll find addictive! For steps that involve cutting stacked, thick paper or origami, it’s safer for a parent or teacher to handle them.

Drawing patterns and threading the ribbon can help develop fine motor skills, too!
