[Childcare] [Origami for 4-year-olds] Introducing origami for 4-year-old children!

Origami for 4-year-olds is full of fun discoveries!

Here, we’ve gathered origami ideas recommended for 4-year-olds.

Using colorful paper and folding freely helps expand children’s imagination.

Working with their hands and creating together with friends also deepens communication.

Origami is a play activity that nurtures concentration and patience, and the sense of achievement when they succeed is exceptional!

In the moment they think “Let’s fold!” and start moving their hands, they can also feel the joy of creating a one-of-a-kind piece.

Be sure to incorporate it into your childcare activities.

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
A rabbit folded from two sheets of origami paper

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.

Finally, glue the casing and the body together to finish.

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

Searching for crabs that often hide among rocks in the sea or rivers can be a wonderfully seasonal and fulfilling activity for children.

Here’s a simple origami crab you can make.

Fold into a triangle and a square to create creases.

Using those creases as guides, tuck the paper inward to form a triangle and shape the model.

While aligning with the central starting point and center line, fold and bend to create the crab’s claws and legs.

A key tip is to press the folds firmly.

Draw eyes on round stickers, attach them, and you’re done!

Super easy! Shaved ice

Let’s make a cold and delicious summer classic—shaved ice—using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper into a triangle, and as you crease it, shape it into a shaved ice form.

The key is to create a rounded look for the shaved ice as you go.

Use bright, summery colors of origami paper.

Once it’s finished, decide what flavor you want and color it with markers.

It’s also a great idea to make fruit or other toppings and add them on.

Give it a try!

How to fold corn

Here’s how to fold a corn-on-the-cob that’s perfect for summer crafts.

First, prepare yellow and light green origami papers, and glue their white sides together.

Next, fold in half into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.

With the yellow side up, place the paper like a diamond and fold both side corners toward the center so the bottom forms a point.

Open both corners outward from the center.

Then fold both corners upward to create the husk of the corn.

Finally, flip it over, fold the side and top corners inward, and fold the bottom corner from the inside to the outside to finish the corn.

Try adding kernels with crayons or round stickers to give it a bumpy texture!

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

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!
