Surprised Ghost

Origami toy “Pop-out Ghost”

Let’s make a surprising ghost that pops out! The bottom part of the ghost works like a spring, and when you flick it, the ghost pops out of the box like a jack-in-the-box—super fun! There are a few steps to make it, but the finished popping ghost has really high quality, so be sure to follow along with the video as you create it.

Once it’s done, you can draw a scary face on the ghost or decorate the box with spooky illustrations to make it even scarier—that sounds fun too! Friends seeing it for the first time will probably be startled.

Add a splash of color to your fingers! Here are some ideas for making a rabbit finger puppet.

You’ll need a 10 cm square sheet of origami paper and some pens or colored pencils.

It’s a fun idea you can wear on your finger to play, but the process is a bit complex.

Since making a rabbit finger puppet with a 10 cm square origami sheet requires precise folding and finger movements, it’s best to work on it together with a parent or teacher.

By adding designs with pens or colored pencils, you can create an even more colorful and unique finger puppet.

Even though it’s small, once it’s finished you can wear it on your finger and have lots of fun!

Plump goldfish

You can enjoy goldfish scooping too! Let’s make plump little goldfish! First, start by folding using the origami balloon method, and complete the front side just like the balloon.

Once that’s done, turn it over and fold the left and right corners down to meet the center line.

Fold up the lower-left corner, apply glue over one side, then fold it in half and stick it together.

Attach round stickers for the eyes.

There’s an air hole on the tail side, so use a straw to blow air into it and inflate.

And there you have it—a plump and cute goldfish! Put some lily-of-the-valley tape (suzuran tape) in a basin to look like water and enjoy playing goldfish scooping!

flapping bat

Here’s how to fold a bat with flapping wings that’s simple to make! First, cut a sheet of origami paper in half and use just one half in your favorite color.

Turn it horizontally and fold it in half, then fold all four corners into triangles.

Open it back up along the crease, then fold it in half lengthwise again to make it narrower, creasing only the center.

Flip it over, wrap it around your finger to mark the size, and start opening the wings.

Pinch and move it so that you squash the crease you made in the center.

Your flapping bat is complete!

Pac-Pac Fish

Surprisingly easy 💫 Pac-Man fish 🐟 #origami

Let me show you an easy way to fold a fish whose mouth opens and closes.

Fold the origami paper into thirds both vertically and horizontally to make crease lines, then unfold.

If you have a 3×3 grid of squares, you’re set.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases and unfold, then add one vertical crease on each side of the center line and unfold again.

Fold the top and bottom corners inward along the three vertical creases to form the protruding parts.

Pinch the left and right corners and fold along the creases—like magic, it turns into a fish shape! Fold the tail fin and dorsal fin inward, puff it up slightly, and it’s done.

If you pinch it top and bottom, the mouth opens and closes—very fun!
