Let's give this on the final day of daycare training! A gift made with origami

Origami smartphone

A must-have item kids will adore! Let me introduce the idea of an origami smartphone.

Smartphones are very familiar to children, but this idea is truly unique.

Its never-before-seen novelty is sure to captivate them! What you’ll need: origami paper, beads, liquid glue, paint, baby oil, slime, and decorative parts like sequins and glitter.

Since some materials might not typically be used in the classroom, it’s a good idea to discuss and make it together with the supervising teacher at your practicum site.

It looks like a wonderful item that will nurture creativity through play.

Origami bracelet

Wearable accessories are so much fun! Here are some ideas for an origami bracelet.

A bracelet is an ornament worn on the arm, typically wrapped around the wrist.

They come in many materials—metal, leather, fabric, beads, plastic, and more—but this time, let’s make one out of origami! All you need is a single sheet of origami paper in your favorite color or pattern.

First, accordion-fold the paper, then shape it into a circle and tuck the ends into each other.

It’s also nice that you can turn it into a watch by attaching a dial to the center of the bracelet!

shuriken

The easiest-to-understand guide anywhere on how to fold an origami ‘shuriken’

An origami idea that’s been loved for ages! Let me introduce the shuriken.

It’s one of the origami creations that imitates a traditional Japanese throwing star.

While shuriken are known as weapons used by ninja, origami shuriken are often enjoyed as toys or decorations.

Why not take this opportunity to make some as gifts for children? All you need are two sheets of origami paper.

When forming the shuriken shape, it’s important to make crisp, firm creases.

If the folds aren’t sharp, the finished shape can easily fall apart.

Keep these key points in mind as you complete it.

Munyumunyuu Squeeze

The popsicle design is so cute! Here are some ideas for squishy, squishable toys.

Squishies are toys or items made from soft materials that you can press and squeeze to help relieve stress and promote relaxation.

They’re characterized by their soft feel when held in the palm of your hand and their ability to return to their original shape.

This time, let’s make one with origami! You’ll need origami paper, tissue paper, tape or glue, and scissors.

By placing tissue paper inside the origami, you can enjoy a satisfyingly squishy texture!

Snap camera

[Origami] Easy! Fun to play with: How to fold a “Snap Camera” (Origami camera)

It’s so fun to play with! Let me introduce the idea of a “Pachin Camera.” How about giving a Pachin Camera as an origami gift? It’s an origami camera you can make with simple steps, and the little origami mechanism is such a fun idea.

It’s adorable to see children play, expand their imagination, and pretend to take photos saying, “Say cheese!” It can be used for make-believe play or pretend photography, so it seems like it will broaden the ways kids can have fun.

On the last day of your childcare practicum, let’s make even more memories with a Pachin Camera made of origami!

The plump, round shape is so cute! Here are some simple long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga) ideas.

The Shima-enaga is an adorable wild bird native to Hokkaido, Japan, known for its small, round body.

This time, let’s make a Shima-enaga with origami.

All you need is a sheet of black or gray origami paper and a black pen or colored pencil.

The simple steps make it a delightful project!

Cute cat

I’m happy you can make the whole body! It’s so cute—let me share this idea with you.

When you think of cats, you think of their adorable “meow” and the soothing sight of their fluffy tails swaying, right? Let’s try making a cat with origami.

This idea is great because you can make not just the face, but the entire body! It looks nice as is, but it could also be fun to draw expressions and patterns with stickers or pens.

Definitely try making it while adding your own touches.
