Characters/Animals (1–10)
bear
Bear-themed goods and stuffed animals are popular with everyone from children to adults.
Many girls probably also like cute bear origami.
When you make a bear’s rounded face and body with origami, some designs can involve complicated steps.
At times like that, folding together with your child can become a nice time to bond.
There’s a wide range of bear origami designs, including teddy bears and Rilakkuma.
Try searching online or in books for bear origami you like and give it a try.
Tsum Tsum Mickey
Let’s make Mickey from the popular smartphone game “Tsum Tsum”! The Disney characters are deformed into cute, round shapes in Tsum Tsum.
To make Mickey, use a total of five sheets of origami: one for the head, two for the ears, one for the face, and one for the hands.
Use smaller origami for the ears and hands.
Once you’ve folded each part, attach them with glue or tape.
Finally, draw Mickey’s eyes and nose, and you’re done! Try making other Tsums as well.
Characters and Animals (11–20)
panda
How about making a panda, the star of the zoo? Using two sheets of origami paper, we’ll create the panda’s head and body.
To show the panda’s white areas, the key is to fold with the colored side facing down.
The black ears are formed as you go by folding parts back.
For the body, start folding with the white side on the inside.
Once you’ve folded both the head and body, glue or tape them together to finish.
Don’t forget to draw the panda’s eyes and mouth with a pen!
Opanchu Usagi
“O-Panchu Usagi,” which became popular on social media, is loved by young people for its teary eyes and pink body wearing white underpants.
A wide variety of O-Panchu Usagi merchandise is available, too.
An origami version of O-Panchu Usagi would also delight girls.
Try folding the parts for the face, body, and underpants with origami paper.
It’s also fun to draw the distinctive facial features.
How about making O-Panchu Usagi with various expressions—smiling, crying, troubled, and more?
Totoro
Here’s an introduction to Totoro origami, still popular thanks to the film.
There are three sizes of Totoro, and each can be folded from a single sheet of origami paper.
Which size of Totoro is most popular with girls? Try making your favorite Totoro! It also sounds fun to fold acorns and corn from the movie out of origami.
My Neighbor Totoro is a film enjoyed by people of all ages, and it makes a great topic to share with children—so folding Totoro origami can be a nice way to communicate while you create together.
squirrel
How about making a cute squirrel with a characteristic big tail? Prepare brown-toned origami paper and fold it into a squirrel shape.
You can easily make the head, body, and tail all from a single sheet.
Fold both sides toward the center and form the ears and tail as you go.
When making the tail, make a small cut.
Once the squirrel shape is done, use a pen to draw the face and body patterns to finish.
It’s also recommended to fold acorns or chestnuts with origami and display them as autumn decorations.
Try making lots of cute squirrels and turn it into a lively piece!
chick
Let’s try making an adorable peeping little chick! As you fold, the key is to gradually remove large corners to create a round, chick-like look.
Then, just add small wings and you’re good! For the eyes, beak, and feet, feel free to use round stickers or draw them with a pen.
It’s also great for Easter decorations, or as part of decorations celebrating school or kindergarten enrollment.
Play around with the size and color of the origami paper, and create lovely decorations featuring your chick.
