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.

Rabbit Hina Doll (Princess)

Let’s make a cute rabbit Hina doll! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then open the pocket to form a square.

Fold the flappy layer all the way up to make a crease, then unfold it, and fold the tip up again to the crease.

Fold both left and right corners toward the center crease, then fold along the center line on the back starting from the top corners on both sides—you’ll start to see rabbit-like ears appear! Flip it over, fold the flappy layer up, and fold the tip down so it lines up with the center line.

Fold both sides in a triangle toward the center line, then fold the flappy parts outward, and you’re done! You can use the same folding method to make the rabbit prince doll too!

I want to display them together with frogs and lotus leaves! Here are some ideas for making tadpoles out of origami.

You’ll need a 7.5 cm square of black origami paper, round white stickers, or a pen.

Let’s try making tadpoles—the children of frogs—using origami! The key step is folding all four corners to the back to create a rounded tadpole shape.

The paper will get layered and you’ll need some finger strength, but give it a try! Adding that roundness makes it look even cuter.
