[For Kids] Simple and Cute Origami Ideas to Enjoy in February (21–30)
snowman
Introducing a realistic snowman figurine that you can make with just a single sheet of origami paper.
Prepare one sheet of origami with a white backside.
Although it looks complicated at first glance, if you follow the steps in order, you’ll end up with a chubby, two-tiered snowman body.
Once the origami snowman is complete, finish it by cutting and pasting on a face, hat, and stick arms for an adorable result.
You can also draw the details with colored pens instead of cutting and pasting colored paper.
It’s fun to make lots of bodies in advance and let little kids or friends freely create the faces.
Two-color heart
How about making a cute two-tone heart using just one sheet of origami? First, fold the paper in half horizontally, then fold it in half horizontally again.
Unfold once, open up the pocket, and fold the other side diagonally.
Fold that toward the center and spread it diagonally.
Tuck the other side to the back, and it will form a square that looks like a checkerboard pattern.
Turn it over, fold the edges, and shape it into a heart.
It makes a lovely message card, and it’s also adorable when simply added as a little decoration to a gift.

Heart wreath
Origami is perfect for playing at home during the cold season.
It builds concentration and makes your fingers more dexterous, too.
How about making a heart wreath that’s just right for Valentine’s Day using origami? It’s super easy to make: fold hearts and arrange them into a wreath shape.
Use colorful origami paper and you’ll have a unique and lovely creation like no other.
Make it with your children and it’ll become a fun memory as well.
Let’s warm both your room and your heart with a handmade wreath full of love.
Heart Tsuru
We’ll show you how to fold a heart crane using a single sheet of origami paper.
After making the creases, place the colored side on the inside, fold the corners of the square toward the center, and form a smaller square.
Then puff it into a triangle and fold only one side following the traditional crane steps.
Leave the reverse side as is to form the heart later.
Once you finish folding the crane, tidy up the shape, create the heart section, and you’re done! This heart crane is perfect as a Valentine’s origami gift—give it a try!
Cat Message Card
During the Valentine’s season, giving a message of appreciation or some chocolate is sure to be a big hit.
Here’s a helpful way to fold a cat-shaped message card for just such occasions.
With the colored side facing inward, make creases while aligning the corners at the center.
Flip it over and fold the cat’s head and ears.
For the ears, gently puff the paper and fold them down, keeping the balance.
Tuck one side into the pocket to form the body, and shape the ear tips to a point—then it’s done.
Draw your favorite cat expression and give it as a present!
cat
In honor of Cat Day on February 22, here’s a simple origami cat idea! This version makes just the head.
First, fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner to make a triangle.
Fold the top corner down to the base, then rotate the paper to flip it upside down.
Fold the left and right edges in to meet the base, then fold them back along those edges.
The parts sticking up are the cat’s ears.
After that, tuck in the corners to round out the face.
Finish by drawing a cute face!
Heart candy wrapping
I’ll show you how to make a cute heart-shaped candy wrapper out of origami.
First, crease the paper in a cross pattern.
Fold the paper in half horizontally toward the center crease, then flip it over.
Pinch the corners and fold about one third of the paper into triangles toward the center, flip it over again, and align the edges to the center line.
Since there are many steps that involve flipping the paper, be mindful of its orientation as you fold.
Fold the whole piece in half, then shape the puffed triangular sections into a heart.
Once it’s done, cut a small slit at the bottom of the heart to make an opening, pop in a candy, and you’re finished! Give it a try!
