Food & Sweets (1–10)
donut
Let’s try folding a simple ring-shaped donut.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half and cut it to make two rectangles.
Fold each one into a long, narrow trifold, then fold it in half.
From the center crease, leave about 1.5 centimeters of space and fold both sides up at right angles.
Next, insert one piece into the pouch-like end of the other and join them into a ring—your donut is complete! Since it’s very simple as is, you can use patterned origami paper or decorate it with washi tape and stickers to make it cute.
pudding
I’m going to show you how to fold a jiggly, delicious-looking pudding.
You can make it with just one sheet of origami paper, and the steps are very simple! First, place the colored side of your favorite origami paper facing up and fold it in half.
Open it, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease.
The top will become the caramel layer at the end, so fold it down just a little.
Turn it over so the white side is facing up.
Fold it in half and open it, then fold both top corners in to meet the vertical center line.
Fold the bottom up slightly, and make small triangular folds on both ends—then your pudding on a plate is complete.
If you color the caramel part brown, it will look even more like real pudding!
Macaron
Let me show you how to make a stylish treat girls love—macarons—using just one sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper in half.
Open it, then fold the bottom part up to a little above the center.
Fold it slightly back down, and fold the top part the same way.
The key point is to leave a small gap in the middle to create the cream at the end.
Turn it over, fold it almost in half leaving a small margin at the edge, and tuck the edge into the folded section.
Fold all four corners, tuck the folded parts inward, and your macaron is complete.
You can draw fruit on the cream part or color the cream in your favorite shade to make it look even tastier.
Food & Sweets (11–20)
Rainbow Candy
A popular candy as a snack for kids.
You can’t eat candy made from origami, but if it’s rainbow-colored, just carrying it around might lift your spirits.
Make eight identical parts and assemble them together.
When combining them, use glue or double-sided tape and attach them one by one.
Finally, insert a stick and secure it to finish! Regular origami paper is fine, but using colored transparent origami makes it extra cute—and even more delightful.
croissant
We’re excited to share an idea for a “croissant” with a charmingly plump shape.
There are no complicated steps—just layered folds to create dimension—so it’s easy even for young children to make.
The finished piece looks so realistic and delicious that you’ll want to put it on display.
Change the color and you can play around with variations like chocolate croissants.
Folding together as a parent and child naturally creates a fun, shared moment, with smiles gently added to the creation.
Simple yet warm, this food-themed origami is a highly recommended project.
strawberry
Let’s make strawberries, a sweet-and-tart spring treat! Prepare a sheet of red origami paper, fold it into a triangle twice, then open the pocket and squash-fold it into a square on both sides.
Next, fold in the extra corners to shape it like a strawberry, and create the calyx at the top—done! Color the calyx with a green pen, add the strawberry seeds with a black pen, and it’s complete.
You could also try making white or pink strawberries, not just red ones.
Use them as part of a spring wall display or for pretend strawberry picking!
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)
This is an adorable cherry origami with two red berries neatly side by side.
Take a sheet of origami paper cut in half, and fold it in half to form a square.
Unfold it once, then fold both edges in to meet at the center.
Make a crease at the edge and fold it back to the other side.
Flip it over and shape it so it looks like a ribbon; then fold the corners inward in small triangles to complete the cherry berries.
Cut a strip of origami paper into a long, narrow piece, make a slit in the center, and fold it so it spreads diagonally.
Glue this stem to the berries, and you’re done!
