Fun Origami Ideas for July That Older Kindergarteners Will Love

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

As children reach the senior kindergarten age, you start to see them taking on more challenging tasks, don’t you? July is hot, and there are many days spent indoors.

To help energetic children stay comfortable, how about introducing origami, which requires concentration? Here, we’ll share summer origami ideas recommended for senior kindergarteners.

Have fun together while sharing ideas.

It’s also a great idea to collect the children’s origami and combine them into a single artwork!

Summer Sunflowers

[Preschool Crafts] Summer Origami Project: Cute Sunflowers

Summer Sunflowers

Let’s make a summer sunflower.

Prepare by gluing yellow and orange origami paper together so that the colored sides face outward.

Fold the paper in half and crease firmly, then open it up and continue folding while aligning with the center.

Fold each corner inward, then fold the left and right sides along the center line of the folded section.

Open the folded section while lifting it up, and keep folding the tucked parts to form the sunflower shape.

Finish by fitting a piece of brown origami, folded for the center, into the middle of the completed sunflower.

Give this summer sunflower a try!

A sunflower you can fold from a single sheet of origami paper

Here’s how to fold a sunflower, the symbol of summer.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then open it up and fold all four corners to the center.

Open those folds, and then fold each corner to match the nearest crease in front.

Using the creases where the corners meet, make four squash folds, then flip the paper over.

Finally, tuck each of the four corners slightly inward to finish.

Draw a mesh pattern in the white center to make it look more like a sunflower.

Why not fold lots of them and create a sunflower field on your wall?

Let’s make a cute, plump goldfish.

Up to a point, this follows the same steps as folding a balloon.

Fold the origami so that two triangles overlap, then fold the two corners of one triangle up to meet the top corner.

Fold the left and right corners of the diamond formed in the center toward the center line, then fold down the two corners you just lifted and tuck them inside.

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right edges of the triangle toward the center line, and on the left side only, fold the bottom corner up at a right angle.

Glue it to the right side as is to form the tail fin.

Blow air into the balloon section to inflate it, add eyes, and your goldfish is complete.
