strawberry chocolate
Let’s make everyone’s favorite Apollo chocolates out of origami! Prepare two sheets of origami paper, one brown and one pink.
Cut each sheet into quarters and use those pieces to create the chocolates.
Since there are many steps that can be tricky for small children, it’s best for an adult to help them along the way.
Each piece is tiny, so it’s fun to make lots of them.
If you wrap the finished Apollo chocolates cutely and give them to friends or family, you can enjoy the Valentine’s mood even more.
It’s a cute craft that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, so be sure to give it a try!
Heart Bunny
How about trying origami that combines a seasonal heart and a rabbit? It’s easy to make, so anyone can give it a try.
Using colorful paper will delight children’s eyes, too.
It’s perfect for Setsubun and Valentine’s Day.
The rabbit’s cuteness and the heart’s warmth suit the chilly season perfectly.
You can enjoy a fun time with the whole family.
Why not nurture creativity with origami this winter? Spend a happy moment that will make you forget the cold wind.
It’s also fun to try various folding styles.
a one-horned ogre
February brings a sharp chill, but according to the traditional calendar there’s Setsubun, an event that heralds the arrival of spring.
When it comes to Setsubun, you can’t forget the starring role of the oni (ogre).
Oni can be scary for children, but the ones you make with origami are super cute! The folding method is very simple, and if you take it slowly, kids can fold them without mistakes.
The little horns that pop out when you fold it back are adorable, too.
It’s also a fun idea to play with colors—use red origami to make a red oni, blue origami to make a blue oni, and so on.

Let’s make it with just three folds! Here are some ideas for making strawberries out of origami.
You’ll need red origami paper, pink origami paper, green origami paper, light green origami paper, scissors, glue, tape, a black pen, and black round stickers.
How about making strawberries with cute white blossoms out of origami? The charm of this idea is that you can create it with only three folds.
If you add seeds to the finished strawberries using black round stickers or a pen, they’ll look even more realistic! For decoration, pairing them with clovers or white flowers is also recommended.
mandarin orange
Origami tangerines are surprisingly easy to fold.
Just fold it into a triangle, then fold the corners along the creases, and you’re done.
Once it’s finished, you might add fine patterns with a pen—this brings out a realistic, charming look.
It’s also fun to change the size and enjoy different variations with the whole family.
They’re perfect for indoor play during the cold season, and you can even use them for New Year’s decorations.
The orange color gives off a wintery vibe, so kids are sure to love it.
When family and relatives get together, try this origami as an activity everyone can enjoy.
heart
Here’s a heart origami idea that might come in handy for entrance and graduation ceremonies.
With this idea, you can fold a beautiful heart from a single sheet of origami paper.
Its hallmark is that even the curved top is recreated perfectly.
You could give it as a gift to express gratitude or affection, or stick several on the wall to create a lively atmosphere.
Since the steps are simple, it’s also fun to prepare a wide range of colors.
How about red or pink, or even green and blue?
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!
gloves
During the cold winter months, an easy indoor origami activity for children is a mitten-themed project.
This origami lets you fold a mitten shape from a single sheet of paper, making it simple enough for beginners to try.
It stimulates children’s creativity while also helping to develop concentration and cooperation.
Making them together as a parent–child activity is also great for communication.
In addition, origami mittens can be used as seasonal decorations or incorporated into cards, expanding the ways to enjoy them.
We hope that making origami mittens together in a warm room on a chilly day will give your family meaningful time to strengthen your bond.
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.
