Pop ice cream

How to Make Origami: Cute and Easy One-Sheet Ice Cream Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Ice Cream Easy

Let’s make an ice cream out of origami that feels especially delicious when you eat it in the hot summer.

You can make this idea with a single sheet of origami, but there are many small, detailed folds, so please make it together with an adult.

First, place the colored side of the paper facing up and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open the paper and reposition it so that the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold along the horizontal crease to make a small triangle.

Turn the paper over, and fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the two bottom edges toward the center line, and finally fold the top and side corners slightly inward—your ice cream is complete.

cute whale

[1 Sheet of Origami] Super easy with no glue or scissors! How to fold a cute fish “Whale.” How to make a whale with origami. It’s easy to make! [Fish]

Here’s an idea for making a whale—an ocean creature familiar from the children’s song “Kujira no Tokei”—using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then open it up.

Place the paper so the creases form a cross, and fold the top edge down to the center line.

Next, use the creases created by the overlapping fold to make the fins.

Since the folding steps can be tricky for a three-year-old, an adult should help with this part.

Once the fins are done, flip the paper over and fold the bottom two edges up to the center line as well.

Fold the left edge once more, flip the paper over, then tuck the left corner inward to form the head and fold the right corner upward to make the tail.

And that’s it—you’ve made an adorable whale!
