summer insect
How about making some of the kids’ favorite summer insects with origami? Insects with distinctive features—like rhinoceros beetles, stag beetles, cicadas, and praying mantises—feel more realistic and exciting when given a three-dimensional look.
Be careful not to cut off small parts like horns.
With simple steps such as layering certain sections or folding parts back, you can create 3D insects with ease.
It could also spark conversations like, “Where do they live?” or “Have you ever found one?”
cute corn
https://www.tiktok.com/@poccle/video/7242657982054681858Corn 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!
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.
Sunflower folded from a single sheet
Let me introduce a brightly shining summer sunflower.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper and start making the creases.
Fold the corners toward the center along the central lines.
This is an important step to set the base of the origami.
Open it once, then use the crease lines to create the sunflower’s petals.
Flip it over, adjust the shape of the sunflower, round it out, and you’re done.
It’s also a great idea to draw a pattern in the center of the sunflower with a felt-tip pen.
Choosing your favorite colors of origami paper to make colorful sunflowers could be really cute, too.
How to fold a rhinoceros beetle origami for children aged 4 and up
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.

Easy and cute morning glories
Let’s make a summer symbol, the morning glory, with origami.
Fold the paper into a triangle three times.
Prepare scissors and cut the top of the triangle diagonally.
Be careful not to cut the inner triangular section while cutting.
Open the paper and fold the four corners inward along the lines.
Turn the paper over, fold the corners, shape it into a morning glory, and you’re done.
The steps are simple, so give it a try.
Wrapping paper tape to make a vine and decorating it is a lovely touch too.
