Corn is in season in the summer, and it’s sweet and delicious, isn’t it? Here’s how to make a corn cob using two sheets of origami paper.

Stack green and yellow origami so the colors show, fold it into a triangle, and make a crease.

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!

Paku-Paku Goldfish

For the hot summer, a great recommendation for preschoolers is the “Munch-Munch Goldfish” origami.

Fold it, open it up, and move its mouth, and it looks just like a goldfish from a scooping game swimming around.

Use cool-colored origami paper for a fresh look that instantly boosts the summer vibe.

Once finished, kids can show their goldfish to friends or use them for pretend play—the possibilities are endless.

Many children get hooked and say, “I want to make another one!” fostering imagination while using their fingertips.

Display them on the wall to instantly create a nostalgic atmosphere.

It’s an origami idea full of seasonal charm—fun to fold, delightful to display, and memorable too.

Penguin you can make with two sheets of origami paper

I will show you how to make a cute penguin that feels cool for summer.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue, and let’s get started.

We’ll begin with the penguin’s face.

Take one sheet of origami and fold one corner by about one third.

Flip it over, then fold the left, right, and bottom edges to form the shape of the penguin’s face.

For the body, fold the left and right sides of the origami diagonally, flip it over, then fold up the tip of the bottom section to finish.

Attach the face and body together, then add the beak, eyes, and facial expression to create your cute penguin.

How to fold a rhinoceros beetle origami for children aged 4 and up

[Origami] How to Fold a Rhinoceros Beetle [Yoshimoto Comedian span! Makoto]

Let’s fold a rhinoceros beetle, a big favorite among children.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.

Fold both sides toward the center line.

Then, fold toward the center line again, leaving a gap about the width of 3–4 toothpicks, and make a crease by folding the corner up toward the tip.

Following the creases, make step folds, and also fold the corners so the beetle’s shape becomes nicely rounded.

Once the shape is set, make a small cut with scissors on the beetle’s horn area and twist it to create a cool-looking horn.

When you’re done, display it on a wall or elsewhere and enjoy!

Easy shaved ice

The summer-filled “Easy Shaved Ice” is an origami idea that even preschoolers can enjoy: with just one sheet of paper, you make both the cup and the ice, then finish by drawing syrup with a pen.

Coloring while imagining your favorite flavors—red for strawberry, green for melon, blue for Blue Hawaii—is a huge hit with kids.

Even with the same shape, each piece shows personality depending on how it’s colored, sparking lively chats like, “What flavor should mine be?” Hang them on the wall and they instantly become a refreshing display! It’s the perfect origami for creating summer memories and expanding children’s imagination.
