Let’s add oden ingredients to a paper pot filled with soup! For children old enough to use scissors, draw only guide lines on construction paper and have them cut out the ingredient shapes themselves.

Then they can glue the pieces onto the soup and draw patterns or details.

For younger children who can’t use scissors yet, prepare the ingredient parts in advance and stick double-sided tape on the back so they can enjoy placing them like stickers.

In addition to classics like daikon radish, konnyaku, eggs, and mochi pouches, it’s also fun to think about what other ingredients to include.

Everyone’s favorite! Oden delivery

We’re going to put odeng (Japanese hot pot) ingredients made from origami into a pot made from construction paper.

First, fold gray origami paper into a triangle and stick on a round sticker to make konnyaku.

Next, fold white origami paper into a triangle, stuff some crumpled tissue or similar inside, and glue the edges to make hanpen.

Fold the corners of yellow origami inward to round them, draw the pattern, and you’ve got daikon.

With light orange origami, keep the white side facing up, fold it into a long narrow strip, and stick on a round sticker colored brown to make chikuwa-bu.

For the egg, layer white and yellow construction paper cut into circles.

Paste the finished ingredients into the pot, draw steam, add a noren curtain, and you’re done!

Fun in winter! Let’s play Oden shop

Here’s a humorous craft idea where children transform into oden shop owners.

The oden ingredients are made by cutting and pasting construction paper and drawing patterns with pens.

Stick those into a paper pot you’ve made.

Glue the pot near the bottom of a large backing sheet, and above it, attach photos of the children with twisted headbands and their arms folded.

Finally, hang a noren curtain at the top of the backing sheet to finish! The children also write the characters on the noren, and each one gives the shop its own unique vibe.

Oden that can also become a wall!

xn--youtube-m53fjjup.com

Here’s a craft project for making oden that even toddlers can do, and it can also be used for wall displays! First, let’s make the oden shop.

Cut colored construction paper into a face shape, then draw or glue on the oden shopkeeper’s facial features.

For very young children, prepare the face parts in advance.

Apply glue to the head area and stick on yarn hair piece by piece.

It’ll be fun to have yarn in various colors.

Next, let’s make the oden ingredients.

Stamp the konnyaku pattern using a cotton swab, make lots of your favorite ingredients, and then glue them onto colored construction paper of your choice to finish!

Make oden together with adults! From 0-year-old children

This is a craft activity where you stick oden ingredients made from construction paper onto a paper plate.

Depending on age, children can enjoy mainly sticking on pre-made pieces, or they can cut construction paper with scissors, draw patterns, and make the ingredients themselves.

The examples shown here include konnyaku, mochi-filled pouches, and kelp rolls.

There are many other classic oden ingredients too, so it would be fun to freely create them with construction paper.

It’s an idea that excites viewers as well, as they can see what kind of oden each child has made.

Cute mittens origami

Nursery Ideas: Winter Origami — Easy Mitten Origami (Kids Can Make It Themselves!) · Origami Gloves Easy

Here’s an idea for making mitten gloves out of origami.

First, fold the paper in half twice to create a square and make crease lines.

Place the paper with the colored side up, then fold the bottom edge up to align with the central crease.

Fold the left corner of the folded-up section downward to form a triangle, then unfold the bottom edge once and make a roll fold along the crease.

Turn the paper over, and fold the left and right edges diagonally so they align just outside the center line.

Next, fold the top left and right corners toward the center line.

Finally, fold down the top corner to finish.

When making the second mitten, reverse which corner you fold into a triangle so you get the opposite hand.

Great for scissor practice too! A three-dimensional star

[Christmas] Surprisingly easy! Make a 3D star with origami ⭐️ Perfect as a Christmas tree ornament too #Xmas #shorts #star

This is a method for making a three-dimensional star by cutting slits into a pentagon-shaped sheet of construction paper and using folds to add dimension.

First, turn a square sheet of construction paper into a pentagon.

Fold the paper in half horizontally to make a rectangle, then fold the two left corners down to meet the top and bottom edges to create triangular folds and make crease lines.

Once you have an X-shaped set of creases, fold the right half of the bottom edge up along the line at the lower right.

Flip the paper over, and use the creases to fold up the remaining section of the bottom edge.

Fold the paper in half so the left and right shapes overlap, then cut the top at a diagonal.

When you unfold it, the paper will be a pentagon.

Make slits along all the creases except the diagonal ones, and fold to form a star shape—done! Add a string to turn it into an ornament.
