During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

April, when you can feel the warmth of spring, is also a season when nature flourishes, with cherry blossoms blooming and plants bursting with color.

It’s also a time when many children starting new lives at elementary schools, kindergartens, and nurseries have more opportunities to enjoy origami.

In this article, we’ve gathered easy origami ideas with an April theme.

From creatures you might find in springtime parks and gardens to cute decorations, we’ll introduce origami that will brighten up any room!

Give these April origami projects a try and enjoy the arrival of spring indoors, too.

Here’s a charming rapeseed blossom craft idea that will brighten your day.

“Nanohana” isn’t a specific species name; it’s a general term for flowers in the Brassica genus.

Familiar examples include the blossoms that appear on broccoli and cabbage.

Let’s try making nanohana with origami.

The process is fairly simple: fold the paper and then finish it by cutting with scissors.

You should end up with a flower shape featuring four rounded petals.

Yellow gives it a nanohana look, but changing the color can represent other flowers as well.

Since the theme features creatures and nature you can actually see in parks or along walking paths, it’s something kids will recognize—that’s a plus.

It’s also fun to add your own drawings to the finished origami for a personal touch.

It helps train fine motor skills and can spark creativity, too.
