Let’s use origami to make peach blossoms! Prepare double-sided colored origami or washi origami, a pen, and scissors.

The zigzag-cracked eggshell is so fun! Let me show you an Easter egg idea you can make with origami.

All you need are origami paper in your favorite colors and some pens or colored pencils.

When an eggshell cracks, the edge turns zigzag, right? This is a fun idea that expresses that feature with origami.

The steps are simple and easy to follow.

When you do the accordion folds, press firmly with your fingers to make crisp creases! Once your egg is finished, feel free to draw any expression you like on it!

The rounded shape is so cute! Let me introduce an idea for making an Easter bunny out of origami.

What you need are origami paper, white round stickers, pens or colored pencils, and decorations like ribbons.

The adorable Easter bunny can be made with just one sheet of origami paper, which is great! The key points are the egg-like round body and the perky ears, so make sure to crease firmly as you fold.

Once it’s finished, stick on the little white round-sticker hands and draw the face!

Speaking of spring, cherry-blossom viewing comes to mind.

Here’s a perfect spring craft: how to make three-color dango with origami.

You’ll need three colors of origami paper for the dango and some bamboo skewers.

First, fold a balloon using the basic balloon base in origami.

Once you’ve made all three colors, simply skewer them one by one to finish.

You can enjoy the origami process itself, and then use what you’ve made for pretend play.

Taking a spring walk with the dango you made together with the kids could be fun, too.
