Super easy! Fox face

How to Fold Origami [Fox Face] / Easy Origami Folding How-to Video Series [ORIGAMing]

This is a way to fold a fox face in just five folds.

First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Next, fold so that the two 45-degree corners meet, creating a crease.

Then, fold so that the 90-degree corner aligns with the point where the crease intersects the base.

Finally, fold each of the 45-degree corners upward, and you’re done.

Turn it face up and draw the fox’s face.

With no complicated steps and only a few folds, this is an easy origami project to try.

Origami of acorns and chestnuts

Origami “Acorn” [Preschool craft activity • classic • childcare origami]

After folding the origami into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top corner down to meet the center.

Fold the top edge down to align with the horizontal crease, then fold it down once more along the crease and fold the entire paper into a triangle.

This folded section will become the acorn’s cupule (cap).

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center, then slightly fold in the five corners to refine the shape.

Flip it back to the front, and you’ll have a cute acorn.

This idea works best with double-sided origami paper.

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

You can make an essential Halloween pumpkin with simple steps.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the triangle toward the center line, then fold the newly created corners into small triangles to round the shape.

Finally, fold down the top corner, and fold it back so a little tip sticks up—your pumpkin is complete!

Also recommended for walls! Origami cosmos

[Easy Origami Cosmos] How to make it in 1 minute: Paper Craft, Autumn Wall Decorations (for nursery teachers and caregivers) How to Make a Cosmos Flower—Paper Craft Origami

Here’s an idea for making cosmos flowers with paper cutting.

Fold a piece of origami paper into a triangle three times to create crease lines, then unfold it back to the state of being folded once.

Fold the bottom edge on the right to line up with the leftmost crease, and fold the bottom edge on the left to line up with the center crease.

Fold the remaining right section along its crease, and fold again along the next remaining crease to stack the paper.

Draw petal lines and cut them out.

When you open it, you’ll have an 8-petal flower.

Slightly overlap the spaces between the petals by folding them, and place a yellow round sticker in the center.

Finally, curve the tips of the petals to give it a three-dimensional finish.

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

[Origami] Roasted Sweet Potato

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.

Three-dimensional cosmos

[Origami] Cosmos – Easy 3D Tutorial | Autumn Flower Origami | Kid-Friendly Instructions | September, October, November Origami [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower by combining identical parts.

Fold a sheet of origami paper in half into a triangle, then fold it in half into a triangle again, and place it so the triangle points downward.

Take the top layer’s left edge and fold it to meet the right edge, then fold it back again to align with the center line.

Slightly fold the right corner of the folded section inward, open that section up, and use the creases to shape it into a petal.

With one part completed, make eight parts total and assemble them by overlapping, tucking in any excess as you go to form the cosmos.

Adding a round sticker in the center makes it easy to represent the flower’s core.
