Origami sunflower seed

sunflower seed origami

You’ve finished the yellow petals of the sunflower, but aren’t sure what to do for the brown center? This will help! Prepare a sheet of brown origami paper.

First, fold it in half into a square twice, then unfold to make crease lines.

Fold each corner toward the central crease, then fold toward the center two more times to form a small square.

After that, just draw a grid pattern and you’re done! Combine it with the yellow sunflower petals you made separately from origami, or with a drawing of a sunflower that has only the petals.

King of insects! Origami rhinoceros beetle

King of insects!! Origami rhinoceros beetle [origami] Easy to make! Parent-child origami! The stag beetle’s rival!!

Some families may do origami together with their children.

If you’re going to do it, you’ll want to fold something that’s easy for kids, right? There are beetle designs—king of the insects—that are simple to fold.

Even though they’re easy for kids, the wings and body are clearly separated like a real rhinoceros beetle.

It even has a long, impressive horn that gives it that authentic beetle presence.

It’s also a great idea to make a watermelon or a tree out of construction paper or origami and display them together with the beetle.

How about making lots of beetles and putting them on display?

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!
