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

three-dimensional bagworm

[Origami] Bagworm – Easy folding method, how to make a 3D version, autumn origami that kids as young as 3 can make, instructions children can follow, origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an autumn-themed bagworm craft that captures the feeling of the season.

Prepare three sheets of origami paper and let’s get started.

For the bagworm’s face, fold one sheet into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it, then fold the corners toward the center line.

Fold again along the creases and flip it over.

Match the corners to shape the bagworm’s face.

For the “mino” (the bag/casing), the key is opening the mouth of the pouch.

If it’s difficult, have an adult help.

Make two of these in the same way, then glue them together to complete the bag/casing.

Finally, glue the casing and the body together to finish.

Draw a face to create your own cute, original bagworm.

ghost

[Nursery Teacher / Origami] Let's Make Ghosts! [With 4- and 5-Year-Olds]

Here’s how to make a ghost.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and let’s get started.

Fold the paper into a square and crease it to make a cross.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center, then fold the top and bottom corners toward the creases.

Add diagonal creases and unfold.

Using the creases as guides, fold each half while gently puffing it up.

Open the top-right triangle to puff it up and fold, then fold the ghost’s arms.

The key is to fold the left and right arms so they puff out and form trapezoid shapes.

Fold the top and bottom corners, flip it over, tuck both arms inward, and you’re done.

Give it a try!
