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

Tulip wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip Wreath

This tulip wreath is perfect for anyone who wants to fill their home with a springtime feel.

It makes full use of the colorful, pop-cute charm of tulips, which symbolize the arrival of spring.

You’ll make the wreath base and the tulip parts separately and then assemble them together.

We’re using tulips this time for spring, but once you’ve made the wreath, you can swap out the flowers or motifs by season and enjoy it as an indoor decoration all year round—highly recommended.

Try making this cute tulip wreath together with your kids!

cherry blossom petals

How to easily make cherry blossom petals from a single sheet of origami♪

When you think of spring, many people probably picture cherry blossoms.

So I’d like to introduce a way to fold cherry blossom petals.

In this idea, you fold a single sheet of origami and then make a few cuts with scissors to create a shape that looks like five petals joined together.

You can use them in many ways—stick them onto drawings, make wall decorations, and more.

Once you get the hang of it, you can make one in about two minutes, so I hope you’ll memorize the steps and make lots of them.

By the way, using washi-patterned origami gives the result a somewhat modern look.

How about making a springtime flower bracelet out of origami? Believe it or not, you can make it with just one sheet of paper.

As for the instructions, the petal part is a bit detailed.

But since all four sections are folded the same way, give it a try! You can also add variations to suit children’s ages and stages of development.

It might be fun to prepare a few motifs in advance—such as cherry blossoms, tulips, or four-leaf clovers—and let the kids choose whichever motif they like to attach to the bracelet they made.

Wearing a bright, festive bracelet on a walk is sure to put you in an even happier mood.

paper flower cutting

All the spring flowers are here! How about enjoying some paper-cut flower crafts? This activity is perfect for children who have gotten good at using scissors.

By changing how you fold and cut, you can make all kinds of flowers like moss phlox, pansies, and fleabane.

It would be lovely to create the spring flowers the kids discover on a walk, too.

You can almost see their excitement as they work: “What happens if I cut here?” “What shape will it be when I open it?” Make lots of spring flowers and enjoy the feeling of the season!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The classic picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar is packed with fun tricks and educational elements we want children to learn, all within a delightful story.

It’s a beloved classic that has been cherished around the world for many years.

How about making a Hungry Caterpillar out of origami and playing with it? It’s designed to stretch out with a boing when you pull it, so kids are sure to be thrilled! It does take patience since you need to make many small parts and assemble them, but if the children help with making the pieces, you’ll have it finished in no time.

Use large origami paper and you can even make a giant caterpillar.

Be sure to make an adorable caterpillar together and have fun playing with it!

randoseru (Japanese elementary school backpack)

@sachimama_asobi

Let’s make it! A school backpack with a single sheet of origami paper 🎒🌸 Note: For this backpack, you’ll use one sheet of origami paper, scissors, and glue. My second son is about to have his kindergarten graduation, and his elementary school entrance ceremony is in April☺️ We ordered his backpack a bit late, so it won’t arrive until March 😂 Also, thank you so much to everyone who answered my question about “backpack colors” in my stories the other day 🥰 There were so many colors—it was so much fun! 💓 Be sure to make one with your favorite color in origami too!! Since you’ll be using scissors and glue and there are some small, detailed steps, please help your child if you’re making it together ☺️ +……………………………………+ I’m Sachi-mama, raising three energetic boys ages 8, 6, and 2❀´- I share easy crafts and play ideas with kids using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

Looks just like the real thing! How about making a miniature randoseru (Japanese school backpack)? These days, more and more elementary school children carry randoseru not only in red or black, but in a wide variety of colors like pink, purple, green, and blue.

Many new first graders are surely excited about going to school with their favorite color! You can make this miniature randoseru with a single sheet of origami paper, so pick a color you like and give it a try.

It’s folded in three parts—the storage compartment, the shoulder straps, and the flap—so it’s fun to divide up the tasks and make it together with your child.

Fold it while packing in lots of excitement and anticipation for school life.

Cherry Blossom Medal

We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom medal that’s perfect for celebratory occasions like kindergarten entrance ceremonies, school entrance ceremonies, and class advancement ceremonies.

Because it involves some complex folding and the use of scissors, it’s a craft best suited for older kindergarteners and elementary school children.

It may look difficult at first, but since there are many repeated steps, kids will likely get the hang of it after folding it a few times.

It makes a lovely gift from teachers, of course, but also as a present made and given by current students.

We also recommend attaching a message card on the back.

Please put your heart into making it!
