It looks just like the real thing! Here’s an idea for making a 3D dandelion.

You’ll need yellow origami paper, yellow-green origami paper, green origami paper, pink origami paper, scissors, and craft glue.

First, connect strips of yellow origami paper that you’ve cut into long, narrow pieces.

Make 1 mm-wide fringe cuts, then roll it up while applying craft glue; once it’s rolled, the dandelion flower is complete.

After making the stem and leaves with green origami paper, create a frame with the pink origami paper.

Torn-paper collage: Cherry tree

Early childhood education at home: a cherry blossom tree with torn-paper origami collage

Why not enjoy making a cherry tree in full bloom with torn-paper art? First, draw the tree trunk on construction paper with a crayon.

Next, tear pink origami paper into small pieces.

Apply glue to the spots on the paper where you want the cherry blossoms to bloom, then start sticking on the torn pieces.

If you want to layer them, try putting glue on the origami pieces themselves.

It’s a good idea to prepare pinks with different shades and some light orange.

It’s a very simple craft, but the color choices of the origami change the mood of the cherry blossoms and bring out each child’s individuality.
