Cute little fox

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Craft! Cute Fox with Origami ♪ | Origami Fox

Let’s make a fox out of origami—a creature that often appears in fairy tales and folk stories set in autumn.

This time, we’ll use two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle.

Lift and fold only the top layer at the largest corner so that a small white part shows.

Turn it over, then fold both side corners up toward the center to form the ears.

Draw the eyes with a pen.

Next, fold the second sheet into a triangle, then fold it in half again, slightly offset.

Finally, glue the face piece from the first sheet to the body piece from the second sheet, and you’re done.

There aren’t many steps, and it’s very easy to make, so give it a try!

A rabbit folded from two sheets of origami paper

Easy! How to fold an origami bunny | Moon-viewing craft for ages 2 and up — Origami Bunny

Rabbits are often depicted together with moon viewing because the white patterns on the moon are said to resemble a rabbit pounding mochi.

Let’s make such a rabbit using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle twice, then open the triangle and fold it into a square.

Next, fold down the top single layer in half.

Flip it over and repeat the same steps.

Fold both ears toward the center, then fold the tip of one ear outward to finish the face.

Now take the second sheet of origami, fold it into a triangle in half, and open it.

Fold all four edges inward along the crease to form a diamond shape.

Fold the bottom part up, then fold it slightly back down.

Fold the top part inward as well, then fold everything in half to complete the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the face to complete your rabbit!

Here’s an autumn-themed bagworm craft that captures the feeling of the season.

Prepare three sheets of origami paper and let’s get started.

For the bagworm’s face, fold one sheet into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it, then fold the corners toward the center line.

Fold again along the creases and flip it over.

Match the corners to shape the bagworm’s face.

For the “mino” (the bag/casing), the key is opening the mouth of the pouch.

If it’s difficult, have an adult help.

Make two of these in the same way, then glue them together to complete the bag/casing.

Draw a face to create your own cute, original bagworm.
