Perfect fan for summer

Origami Summer Easy! How to fold a paper fan / Origami easy! Origami fan for kids for summer

An uchiwa is a tool for sending a breeze to beat the summer heat.

Have the children used one before? Here, we’re introducing an idea for making an uchiwa using a single sheet of origami.

Choose your origami while thinking about what color you want your uchiwa to be.

First, fold the origami into a triangle and open it, then fold two adjacent edges to meet along the crease.

Open the folded corners to the left and right, and tuck those corners to the back.

The colored part will be the fan area you wave, and the white part will be the handle.

There are a few finer folds until it takes the shape of an uchiwa, but take your time and fold each step carefully.
