[Childcare] A roundup of easy summer origami ideas to enjoy with 5-year-olds

Snail

[For 4-year-olds] Let’s try! Seasonal Origami (Snail)

Let me introduce a snail you often see when it rains.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and let’s make it.

With the colored side of the snail facing inward, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Make sharp creases.

Open it again, then fold the corners to the creases you just made to form small triangles.

Using the existing creases as guides, fold three times toward the center.

Align with the center line to form the snail’s body, flip it over, and fold the corner on the side that isn’t yet the body toward the center.

A small pocket will form—inflate it by folding to puff it up.

Fold the top corner down in half to make the tail.

Adjust the overall shape, and you’ll have a cute little snail.

You can fold it with just one sheet of origami! Here’s how to make a “Sakabambaspis.” First, prepare a square sheet of origami paper.

Fold it diagonally to make a crease.

Next, fold each side toward the center.

Fold the bottom corner toward the center, then align the top and bottom edges.

Flip it over and fold the top and bottom inward.

Fold each corner toward the center to give it a three-dimensional shape.

Finally, adjust all the corners and you’re done! Decorate it cutely with round stickers, crayons, or colored pencils.

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!

Fish you can make in 2 minutes

[Origami] An easy origami fish you can make in 2 minutes / How to make an easy origami “fish” (in 2 minutes!)

Here’s a cute fish origami that’s great for three-year-olds.

First, prepare a square sheet of origami paper.

Fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Fold the top corner toward the center.

Fold that top part inward once more to neaten the shape.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to the side, then fold the left and right corners back to create the tail fin.

Finally, press the whole piece to set the shape—and it’s done! It’s fun to use colorful paper and make a whole fish wall display.

Be sure to try it together with the children.
