ghost

Speaking of summer, some schools may enjoy test-of-courage games or haunted houses using ghosts.
If the ghosts are cute, even children who scare easily can enjoy making them.
Ghosts made with origami involve slightly tricky diagonal folds, so one option is for the teacher to draw the fold lines.
Once the ghost shape is finished, have the children draw whatever expressions they like with pens.
What kind of ghosts do the children imagine? It’s an origami idea that makes you look forward to the finished result.
In conclusion
How did you like origami unique to August? It’s fun to express summer icons like fans, watermelons, and corn with origami, isn’t it? Making them together with preschool-aged children can become a wonderful time to feel the changing seasons.
As one of your annual traditions, be sure to enjoy summer with origami!
