Easy Anpanman Origami! A collection of ideas that kids and adults can enjoy (1–10)
How to fold Rollpanna-chanNEW!

A reliable big sister to Melonpanna-chan! This is an origami piece of Rollpanna-chan.
The simple steps make it a great idea for kids to try! Place a light orange sheet of origami paper with the colored side facing up, then fold up the bottom edge about 1 cm.
Next, fold the paper in half into a square twice to make crease lines.
Once the creases are made, unfold back to the state with the bottom edge folded, and fold the left and right edges diagonally toward the center point where the creases intersect.
The remaining triangular section will be Rollpanna-chan’s face.
Finally, fold the three corners to the back with the outline in mind, and you’re done! Draw the face with a pen to finish.
A slightly more detailed way to fold cheeseNEW!

A dog named Meiken Cheese who lives in a bread factory.
You can make this origami idea with a single sheet, but since there’s one place where you need to make a cut, please prepare scissors.
First, fold the left and right edges of the origami to meet at the center to make a rectangle.
From there, create multiple horizontal crease lines and make two valley-mountain step folds to divide the paper into three sections: ears (top), the upper head, and the lower head.
The top section will be the ears, so make a cut at the center and split it into left and right.
While folding the left and right edges of the ears inward, squash the four lower corners into triangles.
Then, overlap the folded edges and tilt them diagonally to complete Meiken Cheese’s distinctive ears.
For the middle section, follow the same steps to form the outline, but fold the edges so they flare outward from the step line.
Finally, fold the lower left and right bottom corners of the bottom section into triangles, and you’re done!
Challenge from age 3! CurrypanmanNEW!

Let’s make Currypanman, who fights by blasting curry from his mouth, using a single sheet of brown origami.
Fold the paper in half to make a crease, then open it and fold the top edge down to meet the crease.
About 1 cm below the folded top edge, fold both left and right corners into triangles, then fold the bottom edge up to align with those points.
Next, fold the bottom corner into a triangle, fold the left and right edges inward, and then fold them back outward to create the curry-bun shape.
Finally, fold the top and bottom corners into small triangles to round them off, and you’re done!

Easy! How to fold Kaba-kun (the hippo)NEW!

Introducing an origami idea for Mr.
Hippo that brilliantly recreates his distinctive outline! Before you start folding in earnest, first fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases.
Once the creases are set, fold the left and right corners to the center point, flip the paper over, and fold it in half by matching the top and bottom.
Next, fold both left and right edges together toward the center line, then open the bottom into a triangle and flatten it.
After that, fold down the back layer along the base of the triangle.
Use the folded-down section to form the nose and mouth, and use the upper part you flattened into a triangle to create the top of the face and the ears.
The steps are simple, but there are more folds than you might expect, so proceed carefully and finish it with care.
How to fold a Pac-Pac AnpanmanNEW!

Here’s an idea to adapt the classic origami “fortune teller” into Anpanman.
First, do the blintz fold twice and complete the fortune teller.
Then paste a slightly smaller piece of red origami paper inside the fortune teller, fold it into a triangle twice to create an X-shaped crease.
Apply glue to the top and bottom two of the four triangles formed by the creases, fold it in half along the vertical center line, and press firmly to secure.
This creates Anpanman’s mouth.
Finally, round off the edges of the finger holes on the back, attach the facial parts, and you’re done!
Fold the whole body! How to fold AnpanmanNEW!

Here’s a helpful idea when you want to make not just the face but the body too! We’ll create it in separate parts: face, nose, torso, cape, arms and legs, plus the decorative belt and face emblem.
The steps for the face and torso are the same up to a point, so it’s a good idea to fold them in parallel.
For the nose, limbs, and decorations, use smaller 7.5 cm origami paper, so please prepare 15 cm sheets cut into quarters.
Once all the parts are done, combine them to finish.
There’s a section on the cape for attaching the head, so after gluing, you won’t have to worry about the head tipping backward from its weight!
Advance! 3D AnpanmanNEW!

When you look at a flying Anpanman from directly above, it definitely looks like this! This piece uses a single sheet of origami to represent both hands, the nose, the head, and the cape.
Once finished, you can make the cape flutter, or place it on a table and press the cape to enjoy a little hopping motion.
However, this idea requires making very precise folds, so it takes patience and concentration to complete.
It’s best for an adult to fold it and let children play with it.
Drawing the eyes and eyebrows with a pen above the nose will make it look even more like Anpanman!
