During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

So cute—it’s like the goldfish is looking right at you! Here’s an idea for a goldfish you can make from a single sheet of origami paper.

You’ll need origami paper in your favorite color, 8 mm round stickers, glue, a pen, and a toothpick.

It’s fun to fold, and it’s also fun to draw the facial expression and add your own design once it’s finished! There are a few steps that are tricky to fold with your fingers, but using a pointed tool like a toothpick makes it easier.

Definitely try making one and display it in your room.

Fish with pectoral fins

It turns out just like a real fish! Let me share an idea for a fish with pectoral fins.

All you need is origami paper and colored pencils.

In the step that uses the thickness of the origami, you’ll need a bit of force when tucking the layered parts to the back.

Working on this step together with a parent or teacher will help you proceed safely and with confidence.

For the finishing touch, draw patterns and eyes with colored pencils to make it look even more realistic and improve the overall result.

You’re sure to feel the joy of creating your very own wonderful fish.
