Sunflower with bubble wrap stamps

Have fun drawing with pom-pom stamps!

Many children are fascinated by bubble wrap in packaging and love popping it! Let’s use that bubble wrap to make sunflowers.

First, wrap bubble wrap around a piece of cardboard to make a stamp.

Paint the stamp with paint, then dab it onto paper to stamp away! Imagine the bumpy pattern as the center of the sunflower.

Besides sunflowers, you can also pretend it’s fish scales or a honeycomb—encourage kids’ free imagination and have fun exploring different ideas!

Goldfish viewed from above

Let’s make it with origami in your favorite colors and patterns! Here’s an idea for a goldfish seen from above.

What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper, a quarter-size piece of origami paper, and round stickers.

It’s an idea that’s full of cuteness! Use the full sheet to make the goldfish’s body, and the quarter-size piece to make the tail fin.

By gluing them together, you’ll create a goldfish with a three-dimensional look.

Add round sticker eyes and it will look just like a goldfish swimming! Since you can freely choose the colors and patterns of the origami paper, each goldfish will have its own unique personality—and it’s fun just to look at them.

Summer vegetable cucumber

Summer Vegetable Origami - Easy Cucumber Origami ⭐︎ Simple origami you can fold in 3 minutes [with voice commentary]. Cute summer origami: how to fold a cucumber; summer vegetable origami @tentenmimi9626

Why not try making a cucumber out of origami that you can use for pretend play or as a summer wall decoration? With just a few steps, even a 3-year-old can give it a try.

For this idea, use a 15 cm sheet of origami paper cut in half.

Place the half sheet vertically and fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.

Then fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, and fold it down diagonally to the left.

Try folding it with the image of a slightly curved cucumber in mind.

Finally, tuck in all four corners to finish! Adding patterns or a face will make it extra cute.

This is an origami shell with a beautiful appearance.

It uses a single sheet of paper to represent a bivalve.
