snow pea

How to fold and make snap peas with origami | Origami field peas (Easy 3 minutes)

Here’s an easy origami vegetable: snow peas.

All you need is two colors of origami paper (light green and dark green) and some glue.

First, fold the light green paper in half twice, open it, and check the crease lines.

Fold all four corners toward the center, then fold only the top and bottom edges toward the center once more, and fold the piece in half.

Next, fold the dark green paper in half twice, then fold it diagonally along the creases to make the stem.

Insert the two pieces together and glue them to finish.

It’s quick and easy to make, so give it a try!

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!

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.
