Simple Origami Ideas to Enjoy in Autumn (For 4-Year-Olds)

Let’s fold autumn fruits with origami!

[Easy Seasonal Origami] Let’s fold autumn fruits with origami! Persimmons and grapes ♪ [origami Persimmon and Grape]

Here are origami ideas for persimmons and grapes that you’ll crave making in autumn.

First, the persimmon: place an orange sheet of origami paper color side up, fold it in half top to bottom, and crease.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease; the white back side will show in that area, so paste a green sheet of the same size over that white section.

From here, you’ll fold both the leaf and fruit from a single sheet.

For the grapes, use half-size origami paper to make four identical units and combine them.

Both projects include a step where you open a pocket and squash it flat, so press your creases firmly with your fingers and fold each step carefully.
