[Childcare] Craft ideas perfect for June

A frog you can fold from a single sheet

[Origami Frog] A cute frog made from a single sheet of origami paper | origami frog

Let’s make a cute frog that, although it looks complex, can be folded from a single sheet of origami.

As for how to make it, start by folding it the same way as a windmill up to the halfway point.

Since it’s made from just one sheet, the area around the frog’s eyes is a bit intricate, so please watch the video.

Once the frog’s body is complete, adding stickers for the eyes makes it extra cute.

It would also be fun to make several in different colors—not only light green, but also brown, dark green, and more.

I also recommend folding items like an umbrella, rain boots, and hydrangeas to create a wall decoration.

When you think of mini tomatoes, they’re a classic lunchbox side and a popular variety people often grow in pots at home.

Let’s try making these mini tomatoes with origami.

Since they’re small, first cut a sheet of origami paper into quarters with scissors.

The folding method is relatively simple, so you’ll be able to make mini tomatoes one after another.

Color the folded-back white side green with a felt-tip pen to finish.

It would be fun to make a bunch and stick them on a branch so they look like a cluster.

Give it a try!

raincoat

[Origami] Raincoat – with voice commentary – June [Wall art] [At-home time] origami

The rainy season can make it hard to feel cheerful, but how about brightening your mood by folding colorful origami raincoats? Regular origami paper works fine, but using patterned paper or even wrapping paper can be fun too.

It’s also a great idea to fold letters or memos into a raincoat shape.

The folding method is similar to folding a kimono and isn’t too complicated.

Try making lots of raincoats with different patterns and decorating various places with them, or use them as wall decorations.
