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.

Frappuccino

The “Frappuccino” you can make from a single sheet of origami features a three-dimensional cup and softly puffed whipped cream.

The steps are simple, and as you fold the corners inward, it gradually takes on the shape of a real drink.

Finish by inserting a thin, rolled strip of origami as a straw to give it a more authentic look.

You can also draw patterns with a pen to customize it—chocolate-style, berry-style, and more.

It’s perfect for display and for pretend play.

Easy for small hands to make, this origami sweet is ideal for a fun parent-child crafting time.

Flower papercut

[For Teachers] Kirie: "What kind of flowers will we make?" – Elementary School Art Support
Flower papercut

Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.

Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.

Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.

The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.

Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.

Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.

Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.

All the spring flowers are here! How about enjoying some paper-cut flower crafts? This activity is perfect for children who have gotten good at using scissors.

By changing how you fold and cut, you can make all kinds of flowers like moss phlox, pansies, and fleabane.

It would be lovely to create the spring flowers the kids discover on a walk, too.

You can almost see their excitement as they work: “What happens if I cut here?” “What shape will it be when I open it?” Make lots of spring flowers and enjoy the feeling of the season!

We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom medal that’s perfect for celebratory occasions like kindergarten entrance ceremonies, school entrance ceremonies, and class advancement ceremonies.

Because it involves some complex folding and the use of scissors, it’s a craft best suited for older kindergarteners and elementary school children.

It may look difficult at first, but since there are many repeated steps, kids will likely get the hang of it after folding it a few times.

It makes a lovely gift from teachers, of course, but also as a present made and given by current students.

We also recommend attaching a message card on the back.

Please put your heart into making it!

Mushroom ornament

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Mushroom Tutorial / Food Mushroom Decoration - Origami Mushroom
Mushroom ornament

Here’s how to fold a stand-up mushroom.

You’ll use a quarter-size square sheet of origami paper and an eighth-size rectangular sheet.

You’ll also need glue and scissors.

Hearing that tools are involved might make you think, “Isn’t that hard?” but the steps are simple, so give it a try.

First, fold the quarter-size paper three times into a triangle, then round off the open edges with scissors.

Glue the overlapping sections to complete the cap.

Finally, roll the eighth-size paper into a cylinder for the stem and attach it to finish.

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)

This is an adorable origami craft featuring two cherry fruits neatly side by side.

Cut a sheet of origami paper in half, then fold it in half to form a square.

Unfold once, fold both edges in to meet at the center, crease the ends, and fold them back in the opposite direction.

Flip it over and adjust it so it looks like a ribbon; then fold the corners inward in small triangles to complete the cherry fruit.

Cut a long, thin strip from origami paper, make an additional slit at its center, and fold it so it spreads diagonally to form the stems.

Glue the stems in place—and you’re done!
