A bamboo leaf that folds in eight steps

Folds in 8 steps! Tanabata Origami: Simple and Cute Bamboo Leaf Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Leaf

Speaking of July, we have Tanabata, don’t we? In childcare facilities and the like, some may create bamboo grass decorations on the walls.

Here’s an origami idea for bamboo leaves that’s useful on such occasions and only takes eight folds.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it up and fold the two left edges to align with the crease.

At this point, make sure the tip is nice and sharp, and align the edges just slightly outside the crease.

Doing so will help express the leaf’s central vein.

Flip the paper over and fold the triangular section inward.

With the triangle’s base positioned at the bottom, refit the paper and fold the two bottom corners up to meet the center line.

Finally, tuck the left and right corners created in the last step slightly inward, and you’re done!

whale

[For 4-year-olds] Let’s try it—seasonal origami: “Whale”

Let’s make a whale with light blue origami.

Fold the top and bottom edges together to make a crease, then open it.

Fold the bottom-left corner to the center of the paper.

Fold the paper in half along the crease, and fold the bottom-left corner the same way as the lower triangle.

Open the part you just folded, then fold up the bottom-left corner along the crease to make a long triangle.

Fold the top-left corner inward so it lines up exactly with the border between the white and light blue areas, then fold the new corner created so it also lines up with that border.

Now the whale’s head is complete.

Fold the top-right corner down to meet the bottom edge to make a triangle, then fold up the right corner you just created slightly to form the tail.

Draw an eye to finish it cutely.

fish

Easy fish origami that even toddlers can fold [Simple Origami Lesson]

I’ll show you how to fold a simple fish.

Get some origami paper, a felt-tip pen, and round stickers ready, and let’s make it.

Fold the origami paper in half to make a crease.

Fold both the left and right sides into triangles toward the center crease to make creases.

Open up the pockets at the corners, tuck them inside as you puff them out, and turn it over.

Fold the triangular section upward to form the fish’s tail.

Fold the lower-right and upper-right corners—adjusting their sizes—to shape the fish’s face.
