For 5-Year-Olds: Enjoy Autumn! Easy Origami Ideas

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

[Origami] Roasted Sweet Potato

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.

Three-dimensional cosmos

[Origami] Cosmos – Easy 3D Tutorial | Autumn Flower Origami | Kid-Friendly Instructions | September, October, November Origami [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower by combining identical parts.

Fold a sheet of origami paper in half into a triangle, then fold it in half into a triangle again, and place it so the triangle points downward.

Take the top layer’s left edge and fold it to meet the right edge, then fold it back again to align with the center line.

Slightly fold the right corner of the folded section inward, open that section up, and use the creases to shape it into a petal.

With one part completed, make eight parts total and assemble them by overlapping, tucking in any excess as you go to form the cosmos.

Adding a round sticker in the center makes it easy to represent the flower’s core.

fox

Easy-to-fold origami parent-and-child fox

This is a simple origami fox that even preschoolers can make.

Use two sheets of origami paper to create the fox’s face and body.

The face is finished with just three folds, and the body with two, so it’s easy to try even for beginners who can’t fold precisely yet.

Once the face and body are done, glue them together and draw the face to complete it! It’s simple yet very cute, so we recommend making a parent-and-child fox set using large and small sheets of origami.

Perfect for autumn wall displays and craft time.

[Autumn Origami] How to fold a ginkgo leaf with voice guidance ☆ Origami ginkgo tutorial – September decoration by Tatsukuri

If making them together with the teacher, the teacher can use smaller paper to add variety.

You can also use them as wall or hanging decorations to brighten up the room and create a full autumn atmosphere.

Working together on the decorations will help strengthen bonds with the children.

Pacific saury

[Origami] Autumn Delicacy: Pacific Saury – How to Fold | How to make Pacific Saury #꽁치 #秋刀鱼 #秋刀魚 #折り紙 #おりがみ #origami #折纸 #оригами摺紙 #종이접기

Making origami Pacific saury sounds like a fun, autumn-only craft.

If you use silver origami paper, it will look much more like a shiny fish.

When making it with children, it might be nice to take a good look at a saury’s appearance and check the shape and pattern of the scales.

When folding, the key is to make the body and the tail fin separately.

Fold the body long and slender, and fold the tail so it can flap.

Once it’s finished, it could be fun to show it looking deliciously grilled.

Enjoy your origami time while savoring the flavors of autumn!
