ice cream

[For 4-year-olds] Seasonal Origami: Ice Cream

Let’s make an ice cream that tastes great in summer using origami.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then open it and fold the two left edges inward along the crease.

Reposition the paper so the white triangular section is at the top, and fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner.

Turn the paper over and fold only the top layer downward.

At this point, fold it so that about 2 centimeters of the colored section above the white triangle remains visible.

Turn the paper over again and flip top and bottom, then slightly fold the top and both side corners inward.

Your ice cream is complete!

stag beetle

[Summer Origami] How to fold a stag beetle with audio commentary ☆ Origami easily — Stag Beetle Tutorial, August Summer Decoration

Here’s a popular stag beetle you can make with origami that’s a big hit with kids.

We recommend preparing black or brown origami paper.

Line up the left and right edges of the paper and crease along the center.

By making firm creases, it becomes easier to fold the beetle’s base body and mandibles evenly.

Fold the body while checking the size and keeping the balance.

Finally, fold both sides of the body to finish.

Add eyes and draw a face to create a cool-looking stag beetle!

spotted seal

[Summer Origami] How to Fold a Spotted Seal with Voice Instructions ☆ Origami Spotted Seal Tutorial / Tatsukuri

Why not try making a ribbon seal with origami—its round body and beady eyes are so cute! It may look tricky, but it’s surprisingly easy.

If you start by creasing carefully, the rest of the steps will go more smoothly, so pay attention to each crease and work patiently.

There are many small steps, so when working with children, prepare large origami paper and fold together while checking each step—it’ll be smoother.

It’s also recommended to have photos or illustrations of real ribbon seals ready and show them to the kids before drawing the face and body markings.

Give it a try with everyone!

soft serve ice cream

[Origami] How to make soft-serve ice cream

Let me show you how to fold a soft-serve ice cream that’s perfect for hot summer days.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper to make it.

For the cone, make firm creases as you fold.

The step where you inflate the paper and flatten it might be tricky, so take your time and fold along together with gentle guidance.

Align the creases to form the cone shape, and that part is complete.

For the soft-serve top, wrap the folded paper around a pencil to curl it and set the shape—this adds more depth and makes it look more eye-catching.

It’s also fun to try different colors of origami paper.
