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

Origami bat

October Origami — Bat

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then make a slit under the top corner, parallel to the base.

Make the slit from the side opposite the fold, being careful not to cut it off.

The upper triangular section you slit will become the bat’s head, and the lower part will be the wings.

Open the paper back into the large triangle, and fold the slit section toward the central crease to form the head shape.

Fold the same parts back to create the bat’s distinctive ears.

Use a zigzag (mountain–valley) fold for the junction between the head and body.

Finally, fold the remaining wings several times to add creases and give it a three-dimensional finish, and you’re done.

A ginkgo leaf you can make from a single sheet of origami paper

[Preschool Craft] A “Ginkgo” that can be easily made with a single sheet of origami

Let’s express the ginkgo leaves that color the autumn scenery vividly using origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then unfold it and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the two left edges toward the crease, then rotate and place the model so that the newly formed point faces downward.

Broadly speaking, the upper triangular part will be the ginkgo leaf, and the lower part will be the petiole (leaf stem).

From here, you’ll gradually shape it by adding fine creases, so make each fold carefully and press firmly with your fingers to set crisp crease lines.

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

[Origami] Roasted Sweet Potato

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.

Three-dimensional cosmos

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

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower by combining identical parts.

Fold a sheet of origami paper in half into a triangle, then fold it in half into a triangle again, and place it so the triangle points downward.

Take the top layer’s left edge and fold it to meet the right edge, then fold it back again to align with the center line.

Slightly fold the right corner of the folded section inward, open that section up, and use the creases to shape it into a petal.

With one part completed, make eight parts total and assemble them by overlapping, tucking in any excess as you go to form the cosmos.

Adding a round sticker in the center makes it easy to represent the flower’s core.

Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Origami “Squirrel” Easy How-To [Autumn Craft Activity]

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel out of origami, perfect for autumn crafts.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Then, as if making a paper cup, fold both corners inward so they cross over and overlap.

Turn the paper upside down, and fold the corners you just made upward to create the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over, and fold up one layer of the bottom corner into a triangle.

Fold a small part of that corner to the back to represent the squirrel’s white belly.

Flip the paper over again, fold up the remaining bottom corner, then make a small cut near the left edge and shape it into the tail.

Draw the body pattern and face with a pen to finish.

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.
