Easy-to-play! How to fold a spinning top

Spinning Top Origami Folding Method, Easy and Fun! Let’s Make an Origami Spinning Top

Here’s an easy and cool way to fold a spinning top.

Please prepare three sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half into a square twice.

Open it and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open it, fold it like a boat, then squash it into a square.

Using the center as the axis, fold up the edges of each of the four squares.

Open the folded sections and squash-fold them.

Use the remaining two sheets to fold the center and the top’s axle.

Align the center and the axle, and you’re done! If you make them in various sizes, they also make great decorations, so I recommend it.

Let’s blow and play! How to fold a blow-top (spinning top you spin by blowing)

Origami Top (Koma) / How to Make a Blowing Spinning Top from Origami

This is a fun blow-top origami that spins when you blow on it.

First, prepare two square sheets of origami paper, and place one with the colored side facing down.

Fold it in half into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.

Open it up, then fold it in half into a square and continue with the “zabuton” (cushion) fold.

Using the closed side as the axis, fold up the left and right edges on both sides.

Fold down the triangles on the two faces.

Make two of these and fit them together.

Try blowing on it with a “fuu—.” Blow strongly or gently and enjoy the differences in how it spins!

How to fold a Pac-Pac Anpanman

How to make a simple Anpanman “pakupaku”

Here’s an idea to adapt the classic origami “fortune teller” into Anpanman.

First, do the blintz fold twice and complete the fortune teller.

Then paste a slightly smaller piece of red origami paper inside the fortune teller, fold it into a triangle twice to create an X-shaped crease.

Apply glue to the top and bottom two of the four triangles formed by the creases, fold it in half along the vertical center line, and press firmly to secure.

This creates Anpanman’s mouth.

Finally, round off the edges of the finger holes on the back, attach the facial parts, and you’re done!

How to fold a playable Anpanman spinning top

[Origami] How to make an Anpanman Beyblade

Let’s make a Beyblade you can easily battle with using origami! In this idea, you’ll use four sheets of origami paper to create the outer body, inner body, handle, and hand decorations, then combine them into a single Beyblade.

The inner body and handle are basically made with the zabuton fold.

The outer body follows the same steps as the trick boat up to a point.

After making two boats, squash both sides into squares, then transform them into diamond shapes.

Draw the Anpanman illustration on this part.

Finally, make four hand decorations using origami paper cut into quarters, insert them into the illustrated section, and you’re done! The folding steps themselves aren’t difficult, so it’s perfect for parent-child origami time.

A mysterious triangle you can squash infinitely

[Easy Origami] A mysterious triangle that can be collapsed infinitely — how to make it

How about making and playing with a mysterious triangle you can squash endlessly? Not only can you enjoy it over and over, but that uniquely soft, pleasant feel of origami might just become addictive.

Using double-sided origami paper makes it even more colorful, so it’s highly recommended.

At first glance it looks like it’s made with lots of sheets, but the great thing is you can actually make it with just three.

Once you create three identical parts, all that’s left is assembling them! Curious boys will probably find the assembly process exciting too.

Go ahead and make it with your kids, checking each step together as you go.

Magic Spiral Cube

[Playable Origami] Surprisingly Easy! Stretchy and Fun! How to Fold a Magic Spiral Cube [Origami] Playable Simple Craft

Spin it and it stretches! Here’s how to make a Magic Spiral Cube packed with fascinating surprises.

It looks very difficult, but you can actually make it by preparing multiple identical parts and assembling them—once you get the hang of it, it’s surprisingly easy.

You might have each child make one part and then connect everyone’s pieces together.

When assembling, be sure to glue or use double-sided tape firmly so it won’t break even after repeated play.

Try making and playing with different variations—long ones, short ones, colorful ones, and more.
