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

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.

Jabara rabbit

Hop, hop—let’s have fun playing! Here’s an idea for an accordion bunny.

When you think of rabbits, their cute hopping comes to mind, and since they often appear in picture books and nursery rhymes, they’re animals that children feel familiar with.

Let’s make such a bunny out of origami.

You can complete it with just one sheet, so choose your favorite colors or patterns to finish it.

Add facial features with a pen or stickers at the end to make your bunny even more delightful.

ribbon box

Adorably cute! Let us introduce a ribbon box idea.

This ribbon box is not only charming in appearance but also delightfully practical.

It’s perfect for holding small items or for pretend play—kids are sure to use it as part of their games! Try making it with origami paper in your favorite colors or patterns.

Some steps can be a bit tricky, but finishing it with a sense of gratitude will give you a real feeling of accomplishment.

Be sure to give it a try!

Mini gift box made from a single sheet of origami

Let’s make it with a single sheet of origami! Here are some ideas for mini gift boxes.

Gift boxes are exciting for both kids and adults, aren’t they? Even the time spent imagining “What’s inside?” is part of the thrill.

So let’s try making a gift box using just one sheet of origami paper.

All you need are origami in your favorite colors or patterns, plus stickers or washi tape.

You can also put a portrait drawing or a message inside the gift box.

Take this opportunity and give it a try!
