Push Pop

[Easy Origami] How to Fold a Push Pop – Origami POP IT Fidget Toy (Pop-It Buttons)

Let’s make and play with origami! Here are some ideas for making a push pop.

Push pops are typically toys made of silicone with small poppable bumps lined up, and the fun part is pressing them with your fingers.

Many kids probably love the sensation of pressing a push pop.

This time, let’s try making a push pop out of origami.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color or pattern.

The key is to fold carefully and align the corners! Give it a try.

Whirl-Whirl Fruit

Origami you can play with: “Kurukuru no Mi” (Spinning Fruit)

A fun seed that twirls as it falls when dropped from a high place! Here’s an idea for a twirling seed.

Instead of just making an origami piece, you can actually move it and play with it, which helps children stay engaged and focused for a long time.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color.

Since there are some tricky steps in the process, it’s best to work on it together with a teacher or a guardian.

When children overcome the difficult steps and see the finished piece, they can feel their efforts take shape, fostering self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.

Suisui Snake

Origami toy “Suisui Snake” (Sliding Snake)

The way it shoots forward is so fun! Here’s an idea for a “Gliding Snake.” This make-and-play origami project is great for nurturing children’s concentration and creativity, and it gives them a sense of accomplishment—highly recommended.

This time, let’s make a Gliding Snake with origami! All you need is origami paper.

Since adding many fine creases is important, it’s best to work carefully and slowly.

It could be fun to compete on how far your Gliding Snake can travel! Let’s enjoy a Gliding Snake Championship!

Spins like crazy! Hand spinner

With a single sheet of origami! How to fold a super-spinning hand spinner — with voice commentary / ORIGAMI [Hand spinner] with subtitles

The hand spinner became extremely popular with both children and adults and even went out of stock for a time.

Believe it or not, you can make one from a single sheet of origami paper! First, make vertical and horizontal crease lines to form a cross, then fold both ends toward these creases.

Rotate it and fold both ends toward the other central line, then fold each end back into a triangle.

Open along those creases, fold back only the two on the diagonal, and form a pinwheel-like shape.

Add creases to each blade-like part, shape it by creating a triangular peak in the center, and you’re done! Pinch the peaked part between your fingers and blow on it—the spinner will whirl around.

A fun origami that snaps and bites

[Origami] This is addictive! A funny origami trap that snaps and bites 🤣✨

This is a fun origami that gives you the sensation of being playfully nipped when you press down from above with your finger.

We’ll make it using a quarter of a standard-size origami sheet.

Fold it twice to form a square.

Open it once, then fold the sides to make a triangle and collapse along the creases.

Up to this point, it’s similar to how you make a crane.

Now open it up and make four small cuts.

From there, continue folding, using the crease lines as your guide.

The key to a neat finish is making crisp, firm creases.

It’s a project that children and adults alike can enjoy—you might find it surprisingly addictive! Try making lots in bright, colorful papers!

Playable Origami [Well-Spinning Top] Easy folding with two sheets ♪ New Year’s paper toy ◇ Origami paper craft top easy tutorial

How about a spinning top made from two sheets of origami, with a beautifully twirling form? For the first sheet, fold it in half into a triangle twice, then fold all four corners toward the center.

Flip it over and again fold the four corners toward the center.

Flip it over once more and repeat the same steps.

Then, make reverse folds from the center out toward the outer corners to complete the base.

Use the second sheet to make the spinning component and combine them to finish.

Spinning tops are toys that people of all ages, from children to adults, can enjoy.

Please try making one together and enjoy a fun time.
