[Childcare] For 4-year-olds! Easy winter origami ideas

Easy and cute! Origami snow rabbit daruma

Origami Rabbit Daruma [Easy] [Winter Craft] [Childcare]

This is a rabbit snowman made with two sheets of origami paper! First, we’ll make the head: fold the paper twice to make a small triangle.

Then unfold one fold so it’s folded only once, and roll-fold the base of the triangle about 1 cm.

Next, leave a small gap in the center and fold both corners straight up.

These will be the rabbit’s ears, so fold the top corners into small triangles to round them off.

Fold the left, right, and bottom corners inward to tidy the outline, then flip the paper over.

Fold the corner at the base of the ears to the back to finish the head.

For the body, do a cushion fold (zabuton fold), flip the paper over, and do another cushion fold.

Finally, fold the square into a triangle and you’re done! Glue the two parts together and draw the face to finish.

Winter origami! Cute kotatsu

[Winter Origami] How to Fold a Kotatsu [Origami]

Here is an introduction to making a kotatsu out of origami.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper in half in the color you like.

Since it’s a kotatsu, a patterned paper might be cuter.

Then fold back about one-third.

After folding, unfold it, fold it to half that width, and return it.

On the back side, fold back one-third as well.

Next, fold the back diagonally to create the kotatsu’s slope, and the main body is complete.

Now make the tabletop for the kotatsu.

Use a quarter-size sheet of origami paper for this.

Next, make the mandarin orange, which is essential for a kotatsu.

This one is very small, so have an adult help you.

reindeer

Origami Reindeer / How to fold an origami reindeer

When you think of winter, it’s all about reindeer! Here’s an idea for making a reindeer using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold down just the top layer of the top corner by about 2 centimeters.

Flip the paper over and fold both corners diagonally downward.

Be careful not to fold the top corner, and try to line up the left and right sides neatly—that’s the key.

Finally, fold up the part that sticks out at the bottom, and you’re done! It’s okay if it’s a little off; just have fun folding it so it becomes as triangular as possible.

Draw the face and antlers to finish your cute reindeer!
