It’s also a great time to enjoy the foliage with children by folding origami.

This ginkgo leaf can be made with just one sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to create crease lines.

Fold both sides toward the center line, then fold the bottom tip upward to form the ginkgo shape.

The key is to use your fingertips to make crisp, firm creases.

Using brightly colored paper like orange or yellow will let you create a lovely, large ginkgo tree.

A cute autumn tree made of origami

[Origami] Easy Autumn Tree 🌲 How to make a cute tree #木 #ツリー #tree #树 #árbol #पेड़ #drvo #ხე #樹 #트리 #나무 #折り方 #おりがみ #origami #摺紙 #종이접기

Let’s make a simple autumn tree using origami.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and create separate parts for the leaves and the trunk.

For the leaves, fold into triangles and squares, pressing firmly with your fingers to set crisp creases.

Following the creases, fold everything inward as if tucking it inside.

If it’s difficult, have an adult help.

Once you shape the corners into leaf-like points, the leaf section is complete.

For the trunk, fold along the center line to create a three-dimensional shape.

Attach the leaves and trunk together to finish.

It’s also nice to use different paper colors for a more autumnal look.

Realistic fallen leaves you can make with origami!

[Autumn Origami] Easy, realistic fallen leaves you can make in 2 minutes / Origami Fallen Leaves

Red, yellow, green, brown… Autumn begins with colorful foliage and is a season to enjoy leaves in many shades.

So why not make fallen leaves with origami, too? They’re great for wall decorations and a handy idea to remember.

To prepare, fold the origami paper in half top to bottom to make a rectangle, place it with the fold at the bottom, then crease diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner and cut along the crease with scissors.

You’ll use the remaining triangular piece of origami paper.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the base to halve it, then repeat this same fold three more times.

Next, unfold the paper and refold it in an accordion (zigzag) pattern.

Fold the origami in half, bringing the left and right sides together, glue the inner layers, adjust the shape, and you’re done.

Origami Halloween pumpkin

November Origami — Fallen Leaves

Here’s an origami idea for fallen leaves that also helps kids practice using scissors.

Place the colored side up and fold the paper into a triangle.

Next, make accordion folds from the left edge in 1 cm widths.

Once the accordion folds are done, unfold back to the triangle and fold up the base diagonally so that the left side becomes thicker.

Fold the top corners outward into small triangles, then slowly open the paper.

Tuck the triangular corner tips to the back to shape it like a leaf.

Open the white section on the left edge, make a slit on the opposite side, and form the leaf stem.

After that, add small cuts or folds as you like to give it the look of a fallen leaf.

Make with Origami! Autumn Insect: Cricket

Autumn insects made with origami! How to fold a ‘cricket’ [Yoshimoto comedian span! Makoto]

When it comes to autumn insects popular with children, crickets come to mind.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper.

Fold it in half into a triangle twice, then stand the triangular section up and gently squash it into a square.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center line, then fold the entire top triangular section forward.

Open up the folded part and spread it so it becomes a diamond shape.

Once you’ve made the cricket’s head and legs, it’s done.

Some children may find the squashing-into-a-square step difficult, so please have an adult help them in that case.

Finish by drawing the eyes.

Make crickets with different expressions, line them up, and enjoy!

Cute in autumn! Foxes and raccoon dogs

[Craft Play] Easy Origami! Autumn Animals Edition: Fox and Raccoon Dog #shorts

Let’s make a fox and a tanuki using origami.

You can make the fox with just three folds and the tanuki with five folds.

First, for the fox, fold the origami paper into a triangle.

Place the paper so that the triangle’s point faces down, then fold both sides of the bottom point diagonally inward, aligning them just slightly outside the center line.

This way, you can form the fox’s triangular face and ears at the same time.

For the tanuki, after folding the paper into a triangle, place it with the point facing up, then fold both corners diagonally upward toward the center.

Fold the top and bottom points inward to round out the face, and you’re done.

Finish by drawing the eyes and nose with a pen.

Cute persimmons perfect for autumn

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Persimmon Folding Method / Decoration, Food, Fruit — Origami Persimmon

A quintessential autumn fruit! Let me show you how to make a persimmon.

Prepare one 15 cm square of orange origami paper and one 7.5 cm square of green origami paper.

First, fold the top and bottom edges of the 15 cm paper to meet at the center to make a rectangle.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to a vertical orientation, then fold it in half top to bottom to make a crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom toward that center crease again, but fold slightly short of the crease rather than exactly on it.

Make the folds so that the folded sections and the remaining central section are the same width.

Finally, fold all four corners inward to complete the fruit.

For the leaf, do a “zabuton” fold three times with the green paper.

On the third time, slightly fold the corners first, then fold toward the center.

Flip the paper over, open and flatten the four pouch-like sections, then fold the corners to finish.

Attach it to the fruit to complete your persimmon.
