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

Cute parent and child owls

November Origami – Owl

First, fold the paper up to the crane’s basic form.

Take the two open tips (the side that isn’t closed) and fold them toward the center edge to make crease lines.

Next, using those creases, perform an inside reverse fold on both open tips so they align with the center crease.

Fold the closed bottom corner up on both the front and back.

Then fold the bottom corner upward and squash it open like a balloon fold.

Turn it over, and fold the lower tip up along the edge.

Fold the top tip down.

Finally, fold up a little bit to create an owl’s head that slightly sticks out.

Add cute decorations, and you’re done!

Cute! How to fold an origami Totoro

[Origami] How to make Totoro — Totoro Origami

Totoro, a hugely popular Studio Ghibli character, can be made using gray and light peach origami paper, plus two white and two black round stickers.

First, fold the gray paper into a triangle and unfold it, then fold both side edges toward the center crease.

Fold the corners to round out Totoro’s shape.

Next, open out the two edges you folded first to create Totoro’s arms.

Trim a little off the tip of the longest pointed part, and use that piece to make ears and attach them.

Then shape the light peach paper into Totoro’s belly and combine it with the gray paper.

Finally, add Totoro’s eyes with the round stickers, and draw the nose and belly markings with a pen to finish.

Cosmos wreath you can make with origami

[Origami] Cosmos Wreath – Easy 3D Folding Tutorial | Autumn Flower Origami | Kid-Friendly Instructions | September–October–November Origami [Origami]

Use four 7.5 cm origami sheets for the cosmos and four 15 cm sheets for the base.

First, fold a 7.5 cm sheet into a triangle, then cross the left and right corners inward and fold so they overlap neatly.

Fold the folded sections back to align with the outer edges, crease well, then open those parts and squash-fold them flat.

Tuck both corners of the squashed section to the back, and cut small triangular notches into the three top corners—this completes one petal piece.

Glue four pieces together to make the cosmos, and place a round sticker in the center.

For the base, fold the top and bottom corners to the center of the paper, then fold the whole thing in half by overlapping top and bottom.

Aligning with the top left and right corners, fold the bottom edge up on each side; once creased, squash-fold those sections.

Make four of these, glue them into a circle, and attach the cosmos to finish the wreath.

Making the cosmos in different colors will look bright and festive.

Autumn Origami Wreath

November Origami: Autumn Grove, Squirrel, and Acorn

Here’s an idea for a wreath you can make entirely from origami—from the base to all the parts.

You’ll be making three parts: the base, a squirrel, and a tree.

Since you’ll need several of each, try spreading the work over a few days.

For the base, fold four pieces the way you would when making a traditional “trick boat” (damashibune), creating parts where two boats overlap, then join the four pieces into a circle.

For the squirrel, first fold the left and right edges to meet at the center, then the top and bottom in the same way.

Next, fold up both corners of the top edge to make the ears, and cut along the crease at the lower right to form the tail.

For the tree, fold it four times so it approaches a triangular shape, and it’s done.

Take this chance to try creating a lovely autumn-themed piece!

Autumn fruit! Persimmon with origami

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Fruits: Persimmon with Origami | Origami Persimmon

Fold the orange origami paper in half twice to make a small square, crease well, and open it.

With the colored side facing up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease.

On the white section you folded up, stick a piece of green origami paper of the same size.

Rotate the paper top-to-bottom, then flip it over, and fold the top left and right edges in to meet the vertical center line.

Flip the paper over and fold the top green triangle downward.

Flip the paper over again, open the green pocket into a triangle, and flatten it.

Fold the bottom left and right corners up to match the shape of the orange triangle above, then fold the left and right corners inward to round the shape like a persimmon.

Flip the paper over and fold down the two triangles sticking out at the top to finish.

Fall foliage viewing in your room!

Cut a sheet of origami paper into four equal strips (tanzaku) with scissors and separate them.

You’ll use only three, so set one aside for another craft.

Fold each of the three pieces in half vertically, then in half horizontally, in that order.

For just one of the three pieces, cut along the crease made by the horizontal fold to split it in two.

Take one of these halves, fold it so its length is halved, and round off the corner on the side where the layers are not connected.

Insert the remaining uncut piece between the others, and make a matching curved cut slightly above the first curve.

Cut the remaining two pieces in the same way, staple them together at the base, and then fan open the layers—the shape will look like a maple leaf.

Cute autumn-leaf origami

@cuty_diyorigami

Super easy ♡ Beautiful autumn leaves ♡#craft#handmade#diy#tiktok classroom#HandmadeGirlsautumn leaves#FlowerAutumn: the changing of the seasonsOrigami ChallengeArtBeautiful

♬ Buddy – HIRAIDAI

Here’s an idea for a maple leaf made by combining parts.

If you use 7.5 cm origami paper, you’ll get a nicely sized leaf.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.

Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the left edge in to meet the crease.

Next, fold the right corner toward the center and tuck it underneath the section you just folded.

With the isosceles triangle positioned upside down, fold the top edge from both sides to align with the center line.

Open the small triangles on the left and right into diamond shapes, and one part is complete.

Make five identical parts, stack and glue them together, then roll another piece of origami to make the stem and attach it.

Perfect for Halloween! Black Cat Origami

After folding the paper into a square using the zabuton fold, lift two of the corners gathered at the center to make the cat’s ears.

Fold the corners sticking out from the base of the ears inward, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the face.

Flip the paper over, and your cute cat is complete! Draw the face and whiskers to finish it off.

The vibe changes depending on the color of the paper, so try making it in your favorite color.

If you pop a witch’s hat on it, it might feel even more Halloween-y!

Origami Halloween wrapping

@yumi_chiiku

♬ Halloween · cute horror song – PeriTune

Let’s make a candy-shaped wrapping box that can hold a small gift.

First, crease the origami paper finely, then roll it into a tube and twist one end to shape it like a candy.

Make two identical pieces and overlap the tube sections to complete the wrapping box.

It may seem difficult, but as long as you carefully do the creasing steps, it comes together in no time—give it a try! If you use Halloween-colored origami and draw a ghost face, you’ll have a box perfect for Halloween.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold both side corners diagonally upward toward the center to make a cup shape.

Flip the origami so top and bottom are reversed, and fold the corners you just made diagonally upward to form the squirrel’s ears, then turn the paper over.

Fold up a small portion of the top layer at the bottom corner, then roll-fold it further to create the white belly.

Cut into the remaining single layer and shape it into the tail.

Draw the face with a pen and add patterns on the body to finish.

Making some acorns to display alongside it will help create an even more autumnal feel.
