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

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.

Yo-yo Fishing You Can Play

This is a yo-yo made out of origami.

You can enjoy the classic summer festival game of yo-yo fishing, so give it a try.

First, gather the corners of the paper toward the center to make a zabuton fold, then fold only the top corner back.

Fold all four corners inward, and slightly fold the top corner you just turned back downward.

Make small cuts with scissors on the left and right sides of the tip of the corner, then fold them inward to finish.

Draw patterns with a pen and decorate with stickers, then attach a string and a clip.

Enjoy yo-yo fishing with a rod that has a magnet on the end.

And it’s exciting to complete a creation of their very own.

Cherish those “I did it!” moments and enjoy doing origami with your children.
