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

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.

Japanese bush warbler

Super easy! How to fold a 3D origami warbler 🦜 Simple but cute ❤️

This is a bush warbler origami idea that you can make in about a minute once you get used to it.

First, prepare a pale green sheet of origami paper that evokes a bush warbler.

Then fold it a few times to finish.

Because it’s three-dimensional, it will have a presence even if you just set it somewhere.

The look is quite simple, so you might like to add wings or a face as you prefer.

By the way, female bush warblers are slightly smaller than males.

As a reference, making two in different sizes and displaying them together would look cute.

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!

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.
