[Origami] Easy spring-themed origami ideas to enjoy with 4-year-olds

Sitting bunny

Cute whether you stand it up for display or decorate a flat surface like a card! Let me show you an idea for a sitting bunny.

All you need to prepare is a single sheet of origami paper in your favorite color.

Its neat, simple, and charming finish is part of the appeal.

Since you can make it with just one sheet in a color you like, preparation is easy and it’s simple to work on during activities.

The finished bunny can stand on its own, adding a festive touch to your room.

It also looks great glued onto flat surfaces like cards or construction paper.

The folding steps aren’t too difficult, and once you master them, you can enjoy making it with friends.

I want to display them together with frogs and lotus leaves! Here are some ideas for making tadpoles out of origami.

You’ll need a 7.5 cm square of black origami paper, round white stickers, or a pen.

Let’s try making tadpoles—the children of frogs—using origami! The key step is folding all four corners to the back to create a rounded tadpole shape.

The paper will get layered and you’ll need some finger strength, but give it a try! Adding that roundness makes it look even cuter.

That big shiitake cap is so fun! Here’s an idea for making a shiitake mushroom out of origami.

The main focus is the cap-like part of the mushroom.

There are many steps that involve making creases, but it’s simple and easy to follow.

What’s more, adding faces or expressions to the finished mushroom with pens or colored pencils really sparks creativity.

Give it a try and let your kids’ individuality shine.

honeybee

[Origami] How to Make a Honeybee

Let’s make a cute little honeybee out of origami, like the ones you see in picture books! First, crease the paper along the diagonals, then fold all four corners toward the center.

Next, fold the top and bottom corners to the center, and fold the left and right corners to about half that size to form the body.

Make wings from white origami paper and glue them on, then draw the eyes and stripes to finish your bee! Display it together with origami flowers and butterflies to really feel the arrival of spring.

It might be so adorable that you’ll want to remind everyone: “Be careful—real bees can sting if you touch them!”
