[Origami] Simple Origami Folding Ideas to Savor Spring with 5-Year-Olds

Origami is one of those activities that nurtures dexterity in the fingers and boosts concentration, positively supporting children’s healthy development.

By the time children are five, the range of things they can make with origami increases dramatically, so it’s great to incorporate an environment in childcare where they can freely create anytime.

Here, we’re sharing spring-themed origami ideas for five-year-olds.

We’ve included plenty of fun folding instructions featuring springtime flowers, insects, and seasonal foods.

Add little twists—like drawing on what you made or adding stickers—to expand the play, and make good use of these ideas for spring crafts.

The zigzag-cracked eggshell is so fun! Let me show you an Easter egg idea you can make with origami.

All you need are origami paper in your favorite colors and some pens or colored pencils.

When an eggshell cracks, the edge turns zigzag, right? This is a fun idea that expresses that feature with origami.

The steps are simple and easy to follow.

When you do the accordion folds, press firmly with your fingers to make crisp creases! Once your egg is finished, feel free to draw any expression you like on it!

Easter Bunny

Easy one-sheet origami 💛 How to make an Easter Bunny Did you know Easter is on March 31 this year? ✨ Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ—also known as the Resurrection Festival. When you think of Easter, you think of eggs and bunnies, right? I made a bunny that looks like it’s saying “Hello!” from inside an egg 🥰 It’s super easy, so give it a try 💓 I thought mixing materials would be cute, so I added a ribbon I found in the craft section at Daiso, but of course it’s fine without one! You can cut and paste pieces of origami, or make a tiny ribbon from origami like I posted before—that would be cute too ✨ +——————————————+ I’m Sachi, a mom of three boys aged 8, 6, and 2, in the midst of lively chaos ❀´- I share simple crafts and play ideas with kids using 100-yen items, natural materials, and recyclables.

The rounded shape is so cute! Let me introduce an idea for making an Easter bunny out of origami.

What you need are origami paper, white round stickers, pens or colored pencils, and decorations like ribbons.

The adorable Easter bunny can be made with just one sheet of origami paper, which is great! The key points are the egg-like round body and the perky ears, so make sure to crease firmly as you fold.

Once it’s finished, stick on the little white round-sticker hands and draw the face!

It’s just like a real bug cage! Let me share an idea for making and displaying a paper bug cage.

You’ll need light blue origami paper, yellow-green origami paper, scissors, glue, and a white pen.

This idea features making separate parts—the handle, lid, and basket—and then gluing them together.

When you assemble them, align the crease lines to stick them on straight.

You can also adjust the colors of the origami to match any bug cage you have at home or in the classroom.

Give it a try!

Hardworking and strong enough to carry things heavier than their own bodies! Let’s make an ant out of origami.

You’ll need origami paper in colors like black or gray, plus a pen and round stickers.

Ants become active from spring to summer, so you probably see them often when you go for a walk.

There are also many songs and picture books about ants! Making an ant with origami at such times is recommended because it helps clarify the aim of the activity.

The steps are simple and easy to follow! Drawing the legs and eyes will make it even cuter.

cabbage white butterfly

Origami: Cabbage White Butterfly

Distinctive black spots! Here’s an idea for making a cabbage white butterfly out of origami.

Let’s create a cute butterfly that flutters in spring.

The key to this idea is the step where you slip your fingers between the layers of origami and gently open it up.

After making firm creases, open the paper.

Once it’s finished, add patterns with a black pen, colored pencils, or round stickers to make it look even nicer! Try displaying it together with paper flowers and other spring crafts.

Easter chick

[Easter Origami] How to Fold a Chick (Origami Time)
Easter chick

This is an adorable Easter chick origami peeking out of an egg.

Start with the paper colored side up and fold it into a triangle.

Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top point.

Turn it over, lift the top outer layer, and fold it down to meet the bottom corner.

Then make several alternating folds to create the jagged edge of the eggshell.

Next, make small folds around the whole piece to round the shape, and finish the chick’s face with stickers or crayons.

The jagged shell edge forms a little pocket, so it’s also great for tucking in small candies or a message card!

pill bug

“Origami” Easy! Pill Bug / Origami

Pill bugs are a huge hit with kids! Let me introduce an idea for making pill bugs out of origami.

All you need is origami paper in colors like gray or black.

When you think of pill bugs, you picture them in moist places, like under fallen leaves or stones.

Many children probably enjoy playing outside while searching for pill bugs, don’t they? The key to this method is the step where you make an accordion fold, shifting it slightly each time.

It captures the pill bug’s characteristics and gives a realistic finish!
