Cherry blossom message card
Why not add a congratulatory message like “Congratulations” or “Nice to meet you” for the new friends joining the class and give it as a gift? Start by folding the origami in half into a triangle twice, then fold it into a shape like a slender flower bouquet.
Next, cut it into a shape inspired by cherry blossom petals and open it once.
You’ll finish it so it can open and close, so create the necessary creases for that.
It’s complete when you align it so that the cherry blossom shape formed in the center becomes the closure.
Write your message in the area that opens at this part.
A cute bush warbler you can carry on your back!
Here’s an idea for a display where you can place another origami creation, like an animal, on its back.
First, fold the paper in half into a triangle twice, then open it once.
Fold both ends up toward the crease that formed in the center.
Next, turn it over and fold up the open section, then fold up the previously folded section in the same direction.
Open one of the parts you folded later to form a small square, then make a beak to create the bush warbler’s face.
Fold back the large flaring section and shape it to form the bush warbler’s belly.
Fold in the extra corners to make the wings, glue any parts that tend to open, and you’re done.
Add the bush warbler’s eyes with round stickers or by drawing them with a pen.
Place your other origami creations on the wing section!
In conclusion
April is a season of fresh beginnings even for the oldest kindergarteners. Enjoy plenty of fun moving little fingers through origami while feeling the change of seasons. Displaying or gifting the finished pieces can build children’s confidence and sense of achievement. Be sure to fold together with the kids and spend a springtime moment that’s special to this season!
