Easy Origami “Rice Ball” to Fold with a 4-Year-Old / ORIGAMI Tokaen

I’ll show you how to make onigiri that kids love.

Prepare one sheet of black origami paper and let’s get started.

Fold it into a triangle with the black side on the inside.

Fold both corners of the triangle up toward the center.

With the loose flaps facing you, hold the three layers of paper and fold them upward so they form the seaweed (nori) on the onigiri.

Make firm crease lines—it might take a bit of effort, but that’s the key point.

Flip it over and fold the remaining single layer up as well, then puff it up from the inside to give it shape, and you’re done! It can be fun to make several onigiri and arrange them like a bento lunch.

Easy and cute bear origami method

Here’s an origami bear idea that’s finished in seven folds! First, fold down the top edge of the paper about 4 centimeters.

Then, fold the left and right corners of the folded section diagonally upward to the outside to make the ears.

Fold both sides of the ears slightly inward, then tuck the bottom left and right corners inward.

Flip the paper over, and the bear’s face will appear.

Add the finishing touches by drawing the face with stickers or a pen.

By changing the color of the paper and the facial expression, you can create lots of different bear variations.

A fox that can be folded into a whole body with a single sheet

[Origami] Easy and Cute Fox Folding Tutorial – A Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do [Origami]

I’m going to show you how to make a cute fox out of a single sheet of origami paper, with the whole body folded from just one piece! First, turn the paper over and fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

Fold both corners up toward the center.

Fold the model in half so that the parts you just folded end up on the outside.

Next, make a slight diagonal fold starting from the corner, and open the middle.

This part involves some fine work, so an adult should help.

Finally, tuck the tip inward and you’re done.

Use a pen or round stickers to draw the face!

Plum blossoms perfect for the New Year

[New Year Origami] Easy and cute plum blossom made with one sheet of origami / How to fold origami plum blossoms

The video uses 7.5 cm origami paper, but that may be too small for a three-year-old, so try using regular-size origami paper.

Fold the paper in half into a square and open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the crease.

Repeat the same process with the left and right edges.

Flatten the folded left and right sections to make two boat shapes, then squash both ends of each boat into squares to create four petals.

Turn the paper over and make cuts about halfway along the center creases on all four edges.

Fold the corners created by the cuts slightly inward.

Fold the front petals and the remaining four corners the same way.

Draw the stamen in the center with a pen, and you’re done.

A fox that also serves as practice for riding the rhythm.

[2 sheets of origami] Easy! Cute animal “Fox” folding method | How to fold a fox with origami. Easy! [Animal]

Here’s how to fold an origami fox, which is also good practice for using glue.

First, take one sheet of origami paper, turn it over, and fold it into a triangle.

Fold the top edge back slightly, then flip it over.

Next, fold the left and right sides upward toward the center to form the face.

Then, take another sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle in the same way, and fold the triangle’s tip diagonally to make the body.

Now the body is done.

Finally, attach the face and body together with glue to complete the fox! When using glue, please have an adult assist.

It’s also recommended to draw the face with a pen or add stickers and use it for autumn wall decorations.

A bear that becomes a finger puppet

[Origami] Easy Bear Folding! How to Make a Cute Bear Face with a Single Sheet

Here’s how to fold a cute bear that can also be used as a finger puppet! Fold the paper in half into a triangle, fold down both corners along the edge, then fold them up diagonally.

Fold so that the center tip becomes flat.

Next, fold the top layer inward.

Fold both ends diagonally.

Fold the ear sections diagonally.

Fold up the bottom tip, and once you draw the face, it’s complete! You can draw the face with a pen or use round stickers—both are super cute, so I recommend them.

Try different ideas! It becomes three-dimensional when you insert your finger inside, so you can also play with it as a finger puppet.

A cute fox that can sing and play

Origami Theater “Fox” / Easy and Quick to Make / Cute, Heartwarming Childcare

Please prepare two sheets of yellow origami paper and one sheet of red origami paper.

Fold both yellow sheets into triangles.

With one of them, turn the base to the top and fold both side edges diagonally inward to make the fox’s face.

With the other, keep the base at the bottom and fold up the left and right corners in the same way to make the fox’s body.

Attach a nose to the bottom corner of the fox’s face, draw the eyes, and glue the face to the body.

At this point, if you attach a diamond-shaped piece cut from the red origami to the back side of the corner where you placed the nose, lifting that nose corner will make it look like the fox is opening its mouth.
