I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

“Ninja play” is often incorporated into childcare settings.

When you think of ninjas, shuriken are especially cool, and many boys in particular may want to pretend to throw them.

In this article, we introduce ideas for making shuriken out of origami.

From classic shuriken that kids can fold, to cool-looking ones, to shuriken you can launch with a rubber band, we’ve got a variety of ideas.

Some steps are a bit tricky, but there are videos showing how to fold them, so if you find a shuriken you like, be sure to give it a try!

A simple yet cool shuriken featuring six sharp blades.

You’ll use a single sheet of origami paper, starting by folding the edges to form a hexagon.

From there, use the central crease as a guide to fold it down into a smaller hexagon, making additional precise creases along the way.

Once the small hexagon is complete, unfold the edges and fold them back into pointed blade shapes to finish.

Since the fine creases can easily look like wrinkles, it may help to focus on smoothing them out thoroughly as you go.
