[Age 4] Easy origami ideas perfect for summer! A collection of cool, refreshing motifs

Star ornament you can make with a single sheet of origami

[One sheet of origami] Easy! Cute “Star” folding method [Simple one-sheet origami]

There are several ways to make stars with origami or kirigami, but this one uses folding.

First, crease the paper with a cross (plus) and an X.

Fold the bottom-right corner to the center, then unfold.

Next, align the left corner with the right corner and make a crease only on the lower half.

Open the paper, fold it into a square twice, then open the pocketed parts and flatten them.

On the front, fold the right corner down to meet the center line; on the back, fold the left corner down to meet the center line.

Pull the remaining two corners to the sides to form the bottom of the star.

Finally, fold both corners inward along the creases, then fold them back up diagonally—and you’re done!

Shaved ice with two sheets of origami!

Fun to Tear! How to Make Summer Origami: Shaved Ice Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Shaved Ice

Strawberry, melon, lemon, Blue Hawaii.

When you eat shaved ice, it’s hard to decide which syrup to choose, isn’t it? Here we’ll introduce shaved ice made with two sheets of origami.

The first sheet makes the shaved ice, and the second makes the bowl.

Think of the syrup you want to “eat,” then choose the first sheet of origami accordingly.

The shaved ice part is relatively easy—you just fold along the lines.

The step where you tear the paper with your fingers to create a wavy edge is fun.

For the bowl, there are steps like opening and flattening the pouch-like part and tucking in folded sections, so it’s best if an adult helps out during those parts.

For make-believe festivals! Goldfish scooping

[Handmade Toy] Easy with Origami! Fishing 🎣✨ / Perfect for Children's Summer Festival Events♪

Let’s make origami goldfish you can use for a goldfish fishing game.

First, fold the origami paper into a square twice, then unfold it once.

Fold both sides toward the center crease.

Open what you folded, then fold the paper in half so it becomes a square again.

Draw the goldfish’s tail along the crease and cut it out, but don’t cut it off—leave about 5 mm at the edge.

Using the creases, form a triangular prism, then fold the tail section up and out.

Add round stickers for the eyes, and it’s done.

To fish them, cut and open a straw to make a fishing rod, and try hooking it into the hole in the goldfish.
