[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.

Open it, then fold both sides toward the center.

Make a pocket and squash-fold it into a triangle.

Flip it over and fold along the crease.

Fold the folded part diagonally.

Then fold it in half down the middle.

Flip it over and fold the other side the same way.

Open the pocket and you’re done! Use pens or stickers to draw any face you like.

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.

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.

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.

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.
