A quirky shark that bends! Here’s how to fold a shark using a single sheet of origami paper.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color and some decorations for the eyes and mouth.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Using the corner as a pivot, fold one corner up to the center, then fold the tip down along the crease.

Repeat the same steps on the other side, layering the folds.

Finish by decorating the shark’s eyes and mouth, and you’re done.

It’s also cute if kids draw the eyes and mouth with crayons, so that’s recommended!

Fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Fold that top part inward once more to neaten the shape.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to the side, then fold the left and right corners back to create the tail fin.

Easy-to-make fish

[Origami] Fish - Easy and cute way to fold, even toddlers can do it

Let’s fold a cute, square-shaped fish! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then open just one layer.

Fold the left and right corners up toward the top point of the triangle.

Next, fold the flappy part up slightly, and do the same with the lower flappy part, folding it up a little.

Flip it over, then fold the split flaps on the left and right diagonally upward, and fold the bottom corner down to create the fish’s tail.

Flip it over again, and you’re done! It would be fun to make lots of fish and set up an aquarium corner!

Fish with pectoral fins

Fish [Origami] Easy folding method for kids – Cute sea creature origami <How to make> | With a slow and careful audio guide

It turns out just like a real fish! Let me share an idea for a fish with pectoral fins.

All you need is origami paper and colored pencils.

In the step that uses the thickness of the origami, you’ll need a bit of force when tucking the layered parts to the back.

Working on this step together with a parent or teacher will help you proceed safely and with confidence.

For the finishing touch, draw patterns and eyes with colored pencils to make it look even more realistic and improve the overall result.

You’re sure to feel the joy of creating your very own wonderful fish.

Paper Cutout Star

Let’s try making a star papercut that could also be used as a Tanabata decoration.

First, fold the origami paper into the specified shape before cutting.

By folding it into that shape and then cutting, it will turn into a star.

After folding the origami paper in half, fold the top-right corner down to meet the bottom edge and the bottom-right corner up to meet the top edge to create an X-shaped crease.

Next, fold the bottom-left corner to the center of the X, then fold that corner back to the opposite side.

Align the right bottom edge with the new edge created by the fold and crease.

Flip the paper over and fold it in half along the center line.

After that, simply cut straight across the top at an upward right diagonal with scissors—and that’s it! Since some steps may be tricky for three-year-olds, work in small groups with adult support.

[Scissor Craft] Sea Creatures

Scissor Practice [Summer Craft] Let’s make an ocean with scissors and glue! Perfect for developing fine motor skills! [For ages 2–3]

This is a craft activity for three-year-olds to help them learn to use scissors.

Draw sea creatures like octopuses, squids, and jellyfish on construction paper, then cut along the lines or make slits to create the ocean.

Try drawing and cutting not only the creatures but also wavy and zigzag lines.

It might be difficult at first, but take it slow and carefully, and try cutting various lines—straight, curved, and zigzag.

If you paste the wavy or zigzag-cut paper behind the creatures, you can represent water flow or seaweed.

Corn that you can make cute

[Origami] Corn in Season for Summer! Easy How to Fold Corn [Simple] [Preschool Craft]

Corn, known as a summer vegetable, is also popular as a snack for children.

Here’s an idea for making corn using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper into a triangle, open it once, then fold the bottom edge and the left edge to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so the pointed end faces down.

Fold both corners of the folded section outward, then fold them inward again along the lines you just made.

Flip the paper over and fold the left and right sides toward the center, then slightly fold the top and bottom corners inward to finish.

Draw a face on the corn and add patterns for the kernels to complete it.
