Characters/Animals (1–10)
seal
Here’s an introduction to an adorable, plump-looking origami seal.
At aquariums, you can often see them swimming in the water or performing shows where they skillfully handle balls.
Let’s fold this popular aquarium animal from a single sheet of origami paper.
There are some intricate steps to create a rounded body.
But thanks to that, you’ll end up with a super cute, highly finished seal.
Once it’s done, draw on the eyes and mouth to make it even cuter.
It seems like a design that would be especially popular with girls.
It would also make a delightful gift for a friend.
Chiikawa
If you make Chiikawa, a character that’s super popular with kids, out of origami, they’re sure to love it! Prepare a sheet of white origami paper and fold it into Chiikawa’s shape.
You can make both the head and body from a single sheet! Be careful when folding the small ears, hands, and feet, as the work gets a bit delicate.
Once you’ve folded it into Chiikawa’s shape, draw the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, and more with a pen to finish! After you complete Chiikawa, try making other characters like Hachiware and Usagi too.
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.
Easy! How to fold AnpanmanNEW!
Let’s make Anpanman, a character hugely popular with children, using origami.
Fold the paper in half to make a crease.
Open it up, bring the bottom-right corner to the center line and fold it diagonally, then rotate counterclockwise and position the corners to shape the face.
While checking the overall face size, fold the corners to round it out and keep the balance.
Once you glue on the parts—the nose, cheeks, and mouth—your Anpanman is complete.
You can easily make Anpanman with a single sheet of origami, so try making it together with your child and have fun!
How to fold Dokin-chanNEW!
Let’s make a cute Dokin-chan with orange origami! Fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then rotate it so the crease is vertical.
Fold the top two edges to the crease to make additional creases, open it up, and fold the lower parts of the left and right corners to the creases you just made.
Fold along the diagonal creases and return it to shape, then flip the paper over and fold the bottom corner up.
Fold it up just enough so a little bit of orange shows on the left and right.
Fold the top corner of the folded-up section down to create Dokin-chan’s facial pattern, then flip the paper over and fold the lower left and right corners inward to refine the outline.
Next, make a stepped fold on the top corner, and narrow the left and right edges toward the center line while flattening the stepped section into a triangle to complete the horn! Make two slits on each side, then round off the horn’s tip to finish.
