[April] Spring Origami for Kids: A Collection of Simple and Cute Ideas

Advancing Hoo-Hoo Caterpillar

[Craft Play 056] How to Make a Huff-and-Puff Caterpillar – a toy that moves forward when you blow on it from above

Let me introduce the “Puff-Puff Caterpillar” that moves when you blow on it from above.

Prepare a felt-tip pen, scissors, and a sheet of origami paper, and let’s make it.

Take one half of the origami paper and fold it in half three times.

Using scissors, round off both ends of the folded strip.

Open it up fully, then firmly crease along the folds as mountain and valley folds.

Draw a face with the felt-tip pen, and it’s done! You can change the color of the origami to make different kinds of caterpillars, and it might be fun to hold a caterpillar race and play with them.

strawberry

[Origami] Easy and Cute Strawberry Folding Method – Origami Strawberry [Food]

Let’s make sweet and tasty strawberries out of origami.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to create a rounded strawberry shape.

Attach a calyx made from green origami paper and draw the seeds, and you’ll have a delicious-looking strawberry! If the calyx part is a bit tricky because the folding is somewhat complex, the teacher can step in to help, or you can cut a calyx shape out of construction paper and glue it on.

Displaying tiny mini strawberries made from small origami paper alongside larger strawberries made from regular origami paper also looks adorable.

Broccoli

How to fold an origami broccoli [Vegetables] Origami Broccoli

An origami broccoli is a fun project that lets you get familiar with vegetables as you fold.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then open it again.

Flip it over and crease along the center—these creases will guide the shaping.

Close both sides along the creases, then fold up from the bottom to form the broccoli’s stem.

Fold down the top corner, and tuck in the four corners finely to create a rounded, fluffy broccoli shape.

Finally, fold the central tip slightly to the back for a more three-dimensional, realistic finish.

Displaying several finished broccolis together can make for enjoyable food education and bring out a stronger sense of the spring season.

cabbage white (butterfly)

Origami: Cabbage White Butterfly

A cabbage white butterfly made with origami gives a bright and cute impression.

After creasing the top and bottom of the paper, fold toward the center.

Tuck from the back to shape it, then open it to the front again.

Make creases at the top and bottom, fold in half, then open it once more to check the creases.

Using these creases as a guide, slowly open it from the inside while imagining the butterfly’s wings.

When shaping the wings, rounding the corners will create a softer look.

Finally, draw patterns with a pen for a more realistic finish.

Since some steps require fine adjustments, it’s recommended to make it together with teachers or friends.
