[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.

Perfect for summer! A penguin folded with two sheets

Here’s a penguin you can make from two sheets of origami paper, featuring an adorable plump shape.

Prepare one large sheet, one smaller sheet, scissors, and glue.

First, use the smaller sheet to make the penguin’s face.

After creasing along the diagonal, fold the left and right sides in along the vertical line.

Open it up once, then fold the corners along the crease lines.

When the overall shape is folded, round the corners to finish.

Use colored pens to draw the facial expression.

For the body, fold the large sheet into a triangle, then fold the base of the body along the center crease.

When making the wings, snip slits with scissors and fold along the crease lines.

The key is to leave a wide area for the belly.

Finally, glue the face and body together to complete your penguin.

Here’s a cute penguin you can make with just one sheet of origami paper—perfect for three-year-olds.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle to make a crease.

Fold the corners along the center line; you’ll be flipping the paper over to fold on both the front and back.

Next, fold the left and right sides toward the central vertical line to form the base of the penguin’s wings.

To give the wings movement and a three-dimensional look, make sure to crease firmly.

After checking that both sides are balanced, fold the tip to round out the overall shape of the penguin, and you’re done.

It might also be fun to make them in different colors and give each penguin a name.

Let me introduce an origami penguin with an adorable round shape.

After making a triangular crease, fold so that both ends become parallel.

Turn the paper over, fold the corners halfway toward the center, then fold them in half once more.

Fold both ends diagonally to form the penguin’s wings and body.

Adjust the shape, draw the penguin’s facial expression, and it’s complete.

By drawing varied expressions, you can create many different penguins.

Give it a try and have fun making them!

I’ll show you how to fold a cute, pop-style rocket.

First, fold the origami paper in half to make a rectangle and crease it, then open it and fold only one side toward the crease.

Fold it in half again and open it once more.

Turn the paper over so the section you just folded is on top, then fold the corners on both sides toward the center crease.

Place it with the pointed end facing up, and fold both sides toward the center line again.

Fold back a small portion to form the fins, and your rocket is complete! Try drawing windows and patterns to finish it into a lovely piece.
