cucumber
How about an idea for folding a cucumber out of origami to spark more interest in vegetables? This one uses a simple method that even toddlers can enjoy! Prepare a sheet of green origami paper cut in half.
Place the half sheet with the short side at the top, then fold it in half vertically.
Even at this stage it looks like a long, rectangular cucumber, but if you slightly fold all four corners inward to round them, it will look even more like a real cucumber! You can draw prickles with crayons, and adding eyes and a mouth makes it cute, too.
