Let’s make a cute squirrel using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet in half into a triangle and open it.

Fold the corners slightly along the crease.

Turn it over and fold up the opposite corner as well.

Fold both side corners up toward the center.

Fold both top corners inward toward the center to form the ears, and round off the folds for the face and mouth to shape the head—now the face is complete.

Next, take the second sheet, fold it in half into a triangle, then open it and fold both side corners inward toward the center crease.

Fold the two bottom corners toward the center as well.

Offset it slightly and fold in half, then tuck in the bottom corners to round the overall body—this completes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the squirrel’s face to finish!

Rolling Acorn

Let me introduce a cute craft that can also be used as a wall decoration: “Rolling Acorn.” This project is made in two parts: the leaf and the acorn.

For the acorn, fold an acorn out of origami paper, then use a pen to draw the cap pattern and the face.

For the leaf, color it using a rolling art technique, draw a leaf shape on the back, and have the children tear along the lines.

Finally, glue the acorn onto the leaf to finish.

The impression of the leaf changes depending on the construction paper and paint colors, so let the children enjoy it with their own sense of color.

Grapes in bubble art

This is a grape craft made with bubble art.

Bubble art is a technique that uses bubbles created from a soap solution.

Mix detergent, water, and paint to make a colored soap solution, then blow through a straw to create bubbles.

Place the bubbles onto drawing paper to make patterns.

Once the bubbles dry, cut them out into grape shapes, and attach them to a grape backing sheet to finish.

Instead of a straw, you can also use a cut plastic bottle covered with cloth or netting as a substitute.

Grapes made by rolling up and dyeing

Here’s an introduction to making grapes dyed with paint.

First, make a grape-shaped base out of drawing paper.

Roll up some kitchen paper to look like individual grape berries, and stick them onto the base.

Then drip paint over them to add color, and finish by attaching the stem and leaves.

It’s best to thin the paint with plenty of water and prepare a few colors.

After rolling the kitchen paper, use glue to attach it to the base.

Try making some lovely grapes in soft, pastel colors!
