[Childcare] August origami: simple and cute ideas

ghost

Origami: Easy 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.

Searching for crabs that often hide among rocks in the sea or rivers can be a wonderfully seasonal and fulfilling activity for children.

Here’s a simple origami crab you can make.

Fold into a triangle and a square to create creases.

Plump Wind Chime

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make a Wind Chime 🎐 Plump and 3D [Summer Wall Decoration] Sways in the Breeze for Extra Refreshment!

How about making a wind chime out of origami that captures the feeling of summer with its cool tone and a strip of paper swaying in the breeze? First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Next, draw lines on the square as if shaping flower petals, then cut along the lines with scissors.

Snip off a tiny bit in the center so there’s a small hole.

Open the paper; once it looks like a flower, gather the tips of the petals toward the center, overlap them, and glue them down.

Finally, thread a string through and attach a tanzaku (paper strip) to the string to finish.

If you thread a small bell onto the string, it will make a sound and feel even more like a wind chime.

This softly rounded, cute wind chime is perfect to make and display by your window!

Fold both sides of the paper toward the center line.

Then partially open the folded corners outward halfway to create the corn husk.

Adjust the balance between the corn kernels and the husk, and you’re done.

Try drawing a face to make your own original summer corn!
