After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up.

Fold the top corner down to meet the center, flip the paper over, and fold the top edge down so that it aligns just above the horizontal crease.

Open it after folding the top left and right edges to match the vertical creases, then valley-fold along the diagonal creases created at the top while collapsing the paper to form the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over and make two roll folds on the bottom corner.

Make a pleat fold at the center of the paper to separate the head and body, then flip it over.

Cut a slit to separate the top left single layer of the pleated section, fold the left and right sides toward the central crease, and shape the tail using the separated section to finish.

One-sheet fold! Autumn tree

[Easy Origami] How to fold an autumn tree from a single sheet — Trees absorb CO₂ from the air and turn it into organic matter | Easy Origami: How to make a cute tree, paper folding tree

Let’s try making a freestanding autumn tree.

We’ll begin with a series of crease-making steps.

Since you’ll be folding along these creases later, please proceed carefully.

Note that there are steps where you only make creases on certain sections without folding everything.

Once the creases are in place, the trunk and the base of the leaves come together in an instant.

The part where you create the branches is a bit tricky, but adding them makes a noticeable difference in the final result, so give it your best.

For the trunk, flatten the pocketed section, and finish by forming a small triangle at the end.

How to fold a 3D persimmon that even 3-year-olds can make!

[Origami] Persimmon 3D Box – Easy Tutorial – Autumn Origami That Kids Can Make From Age 3 – Child-Friendly Instructions – September/October/November Origami [Origami]

Let’s make this idea using double-sided origami paper in orange and green.

The steps up to opening the paper into a diamond—folding the paper into a triangle twice, squashing it into a square, and opening it—are the same as for a crane.

From there, fold the diamond by layering its flaps, then fold the corner that will become the center of the model inward to create a crease.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet that crease, and then, imagining you’re forming a box, repeat the same folds for the remaining three sides.

Unfold the corners you folded down once, make a slit along the horizontal crease, fold it back to the reverse side, and switch the color to green.

This will be the stem.

The center portion will be the fruit, so shape it so it looks plump.

Chestnuts you can try from age 3

Origami “Chestnut” – Easy folding method suitable from around age 3

After folding the origami squarely in half, open it up.

With the colored side facing up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.

Turn the paper over and fold the top two corners in toward the center.

Fold the bottom two corners inward to make triangles, then fold the new left and right corners even farther inward.

Turn the origami back to the front—and your chestnut is complete! Finish it by coloring the white part with crayons or drawing a face on the colored part.

If you make a second one with smaller origami paper, you might end up with a parent-and-child pair of chestnuts!

Let’s make a ghost!

[Nursery Teacher / Origami] Let's Make Ghosts! [With 4- and 5-Year-Olds]

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal crease.

From there, make additional creases and squash-fold the left and right sides into boat shapes.

On one of the boats, squash only one corner into a square to create the ghost’s face.

The sides of the face will be the hands, and the remaining part becomes the bottom.

Use the creases on the hands to create indentations so they look three-dimensional—that’s the key.

Soften the head by folding the corners to make it round, and finish by folding the bottom part up at a diagonal.

Draw the face with stickers or a pen to complete it.

How to fold a cute fox

[Origami] Fox - Easy, Cute, Autumn

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

Cute Halloween candy

[Origami] Halloween Candy – Easy folding method; autumn origami that kids can make from age 3; child-friendly instructions; October origami [Origami]

After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.

Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.

Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.

Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.

If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.

Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.
