Origami to Enjoy January and Winter! A Collection of Simple Ideas to Use in Childcare

Cute snow bunny

February Origami ~ Snow Bunny ~

Here’s an origami idea for a snow rabbit that you’ll want to make whenever it snows, just like a snowman.

Prepare one sheet of white origami paper, fold it in half diagonally once to make a crease, then unfold.

Fold the left edge in half along the crease, then fold the remaining right corner inward to form a triangle.

Next, fold the triangle’s three corners inward while checking the shape to create the snow rabbit’s base.

Once the base is done, attach ears made from green origami paper and add eyes using small red round stickers, and you’re done! With these simple steps, you can make a snow rabbit that looks just like the real thing—give it a try!

Easy with just one sheet! Snowman

[Origami] Easy snowman with a single sheet ⛄ How to make a paper snowman #snowman #Christmas #snowman (yukidaruma) #snowman #snowman #xuěrén (snow person) #howtofold #origami #origami (JP) #zhǐzhǐ (paper folding)

The charm of this origami is how easy it is—you can make a snowman with just one sheet of white paper.

There are many small, detailed folds, so try tackling it together with your child.

Each step is simple, but because it involves lots of precise finger work, staying focused is important.

As you go, guide them with prompts like “This part is next,” or demonstrate each step so they can work with confidence.

At the end, draw the face with a pen or add patterns, and each snowman will have its own unique expression.

When you line up the finished pieces for display, you can clearly see how different their expressions are—even though they’re all snowmen—making them even more fun to look at.

Snow fairy! Adorable long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga)

[Easy Origami] How to Make a Long-Tailed Tit 💡 #Hokkaido #SnowSpirit #Bird #Birdie #bird #새 #鸟 #Winter #Animals #Cute #HowToFold #Origami #Paper #DIY

Why not try making the popular long-tailed tit as a “snow fairy” with origami? All you need is a single sheet of your favorite origami paper and a black pen, so preparation is super easy.

Fold by creasing and flipping the paper as you go: use the white front side to represent the body and the colored back side for the wings.

Finish by drawing the eyes and beak with a black pen to enjoy different expressions.

With few steps, it’s easy even for a 3-year-old, so it’s highly recommended.

After it’s done, you can show them to each other or line them up on the wall to create a cute atmosphere.

Daruma origami that even 3-year-olds can make!

[Origami] New Year’s “Daruma” ornament made together with a 3-year-old child

Let me introduce an origami daruma that even a three-year-old can make.

It’s great as a New Year’s decoration, and carefully following the folding steps is beneficial for brain development, so I highly recommend it.

First, fold a red sheet of origami paper into a triangle.

Unfold it, then fold the corner on the creased side twice, and slightly fold the left and right sides.

Next, fold three corners toward the center.

Of those three corners, fold the middle edge upward, then flip the paper over and fold both corners into triangles.

Turn it face up, draw the daruma’s face on the white area, and you’re done.

Perfect for New Year! Cute origami osechi

[Origami] Osechi: How to make simple and cute New Year’s origami crafts — Winter origami, January origami, an easy folding method that even kids can do [Origami]

Let’s make osechi ryori—New Year’s dishes that taste great when everyone eats together—using origami.

Using black origami paper, make four folded box parts for the outer box and glue them together in a box shape.

Attach them while checking the balance.

Next, make four inner boxes.

Once you set the inner boxes into the outer box, the base is complete.

For the contents, fold shrimp, nori (seaweed), kamaboko (fish cake), kelp rolls, and kampyo (dried gourd strips), making firm creases as you go.

Before you start, reading a picture book about the New Year to learn about its origins and meanings will help you enjoy making them even more.
