The opening and closing mouth is so cute! Let me introduce a fun idea for a chompy little fish.

Fish often appear on the dining table, but they also show up a lot in anime, picture books, fingerplay, and songs.

This time, let’s make an adorable fish with a mouth that opens and closes using origami! You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

Solid-color origami looks lovely, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami will give your fish extra personality.

Fishing made with origami

[Handmade Toy] Easy with Origami! Fishing 🎣✨ / Perfect for Children's Summer Festival Events♪

Let’s make and play! Here are some ideas for a fishing game made with origami.

When you think of summer, many people probably imagine goldfish scooping at summer festivals, right? On scorching days when it’s hard to go outside, how about enjoying a pretend fishing game indoors? You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, straws, a pen, cellophane tape, and scissors.

When making the fish, the key is to cut the tail into a heart shape! It also sounds fun to freely decorate the fish you make out of origami.

Origami: Let’s fold a fish. It’s easy to fold, even for children from age 3.

Let’s try folding an origami fish.

Fish live in the water, so they’re one of those things that make us feel cool and refreshed.

First, fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again, and bring the two corners toward the center.

Now flip it over and again bring the two corners from the other side toward the center.

Next, fold it diagonally, then fold it in half with the white side tucked inside.

After that, just flip it over and draw an eye.

Try making fish in various colors and sizes.

Lining up lots of fish will make it feel even cooler.

Making sea creatures

Sea creatures crafts: Perfect for summer wall displays in daycare, too! (For 4- and 5-year-olds)

Let’s make some sea creatures that can also be used for summer wall displays.

First, draw sea creatures on white drawing paper.

Make them fairly large; since these lines will be the outlines, you can use crayons that resist paint.

Once the drawing is done, use water-based color pens to draw random patterns on aluminum foil.

Place the foil on top of your sketch paper and rub; the pen colors will transfer onto the drawing, creating beautiful hues.

When it’s finished, cut around the outside of the picture.

The slightly blurred colors make for a very pretty and fun artwork.

goldfish

[Origami] Easy Goldfish Folding Method | A Cute, Summer-Perfect Design Even a 3-Year-Old Can Make! It looks like a samurai helmet partway through.

Let’s try folding a goldfish with origami.

Origami goldfish look colorful when made in various colors, and they give a very cool, refreshing impression.

As for how to fold this goldfish, the steps are the same as the origami samurai helmet up to a certain point.

Flatten the helmet sideways and fold back the tail section, and a goldfish will appear.

The horn parts of the helmet become the goldfish’s fins.

If you put lots of colorful goldfish in a glass bowl or add paper that resembles aquatic plants, it will look even more refreshing.

Try getting creative and see what you can make.

Goldfish on drawing paper & scoops made from paper plates

[WakuWaku-san’s Craft Workshop] Make an easy “Goldfish Scooping” game and have fun playing it!

Here’s an idea for a goldfish scooping game where you scoop paper goldfish made from construction paper using a poi made from a paper plate.

The poi is a paper plate with the center cut out and a handle attached; its lightness actually makes it harder to control, which increases the game’s challenge.

The goldfish are easy to make too—just roll and fasten strips of construction paper—so overall it’s simple to create.

By shaping the goldfish at an angle, you leave a gap between the table and the goldfish for scooping, so you can adjust the difficulty by tweaking that gap and the poi’s unwieldiness.

Putting care into decorating the goldfish is important as well—aim for cute designs that make people want to scoop them.
