bamboo shoot

[Origami] How to Fold a Bamboo Shoot | Easy Tutorial! Great for Preschool and Kindergarten Kids! Looks like Takenoko no Sato!

Let’s fold a spring delicacy—bamboo shoots—using origami.

This is a simple folding method, so even young children can give it a try.

Since the first step is to make crease lines, be sure to press firmly with your fingers as if ironing.

Fold along the creases, squash-fold the parts that become triangular, and in no time you’ll have an adorable bamboo shoot.

Finally, fold the corners to adjust the balance of the bamboo shoot.

The finger movements involved in folding and unfolding origami also stimulate children’s brains, so it’s highly recommended.

Cherry blossom trinket box

[Origami] Easy-to-fold 'Cherry Blossom Accessory Box' – How to make it.

Let me introduce a cherry blossom-shaped trinket dish that’s perfect for spring’s sakura season.

Prepare five sheets of origami paper and some glue.

You’ll make one petal from each sheet of paper.

Basically, you just fold the edges and corners along the creases, so even children can give it a try.

The key point is to crease firmly, since you’ll give it a three-dimensional finish at the end.

Once you’ve formed the dish-like base, fold the tip inward to shape each petal.

After folding all five, use glue to stick them together and complete your sakura-shaped trinket dish.

[Spring Origami] Simple and Easy ☆ How to Make a Cherry Tree [Origami] Cherry Tree

Let’s fold a cute, rounded cherry blossom tree with origami.

Prepare one sheet each of pink and brown origami paper.

For the tree trunk, fold the left and right corners toward the center, then fold the top and bottom edges on the opposite side toward the center as well.

Using your fingertips makes the folds easier.

Once you’ve shaped and adjusted the branches, glue the cherry blossom part on, and it’s complete.

yellow school hat

[Spring Origami] How to fold a yellow hat (school commuting cap) with voice-over ☆ Origami Yellow Hat Tutorial – Decoration for entrance ceremony

Here’s an origami yellow hat that’s perfect for entrance ceremony wall displays and more.

This model uses several horizontal creases to form the opening for the head and the brim.

Since the brim involves steps like folding only the top and a squash-and-pull action, it’s best for an adult to supervise while making it.

Matching the hat to the grade’s color will add a festive entrance-ceremony feel and make it extra cute.

If you like, have boys and girls make the hats out of origami too, and then put the hats on them.

Origami The Very Hungry Caterpillar

[Origami] Stretchy! How to Fold The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Let me show you how to make The Very Hungry Caterpillar with origami.

Prepare six sheets of origami paper and cut them into quarters.

Using the cut pieces, make two types of parts and combine them.

The folding methods are similar, but there are differences, so be careful about the orientation as you fold.

When assembling each part, interlock them so that the two types alternate.

The key is to combine them in order without mixing up the sequence or the parts.

Kids will be delighted when the caterpillar wiggles and squirms when you hold it!
