Suisui Snake

Origami toy “Suisui Snake” (Sliding Snake)

Let’s make a sleek, gliding Sui-Sui Snake! The steps where you add creases and form the snake’s body might be a bit tricky, but since many of the folds are repeated, give it a try.

It’s also great that you can make it with just a single sheet of origami paper! Once you finish, draw your favorite snake face, or try using gold or silver origami paper to make a shiny snake—that would be fun too! After you make your snakes, race with friends to see whose can glide the farthest and have fun playing!

Bouncy Bunny

[7 million views] Origami Rabbit That Hops: How to Make a Jumping Rabbit

The fun part of origami isn’t just the time you spend folding—it’s also being able to admire and play with what you’ve made afterward.

If you make a sailing boat, you can float it on a kiddie pool; if you make a pinwheel, you can hold it up to the wind and watch it spin—the fun just keeps going.

Here we’re introducing the “Hopping Bunny.” After you fold it, you can flick its backside and actually make it hop.

There’s a similar one called the “Hopping Frog.” Since there are over 30 folding steps, the difficulty is somewhat on the advanced side.

It might be fun to prepare larger sheets of paper and fold together while giving a lesson.

Hoppy Frog

[Origami] How to Make a Jumping Frog – Easy! [With Voice Commentary] Origami Jumping Frog / Grandma’s Origami

Here’s how to make a jumping origami frog that springs off in unexpected directions.

You can create this bouncy toy using only origami paper—no rubber bands or batteries—so it’s fun for small children and for older adults who used to play a lot with origami.

It may look complicated at first, but if you fold it step by step, you’ll finish without trouble, so please give it a try.

As you get closer to the end, the shape starts to look more and more like a frog, which is really cute.

Once you’ve finished folding, draw the eyes and you’re done.

Flick its backside with your finger and watch your toy frog hop with a little “boing!”

Spins like crazy! Hand spinner

With a single sheet of origami! How to fold a super-spinning hand spinner — with voice commentary / ORIGAMI [Hand spinner] with subtitles

The hand spinner became extremely popular with both children and adults and even went out of stock for a time.

Believe it or not, you can make one from a single sheet of origami paper! First, make vertical and horizontal crease lines to form a cross, then fold both ends toward these creases.

Rotate it and fold both ends toward the other central line, then fold each end back into a triangle.

Open along those creases, fold back only the two on the diagonal, and form a pinwheel-like shape.

Add creases to each blade-like part, shape it by creating a triangular peak in the center, and you’re done! Pinch the peaked part between your fingers and blow on it—the spinner will whirl around.

Paper dragonfly

[Origami] How to Make a Paper Dragonfly: A Simple, Fun Propeller You Can Play With – Origami Paper Copter [With Voice Commentary] / Baaba’s Origami

This is called a paper helicopter.

When you drop it from a high place, its two blades spin as it falls, making it a very fun origami craft.

It’s very easy to make, so try making several.

Since you’ll use scissors, please have a guardian supervise small children.

This paper helicopter shows both front and back sides, so using double-sided origami makes it colorful and is recommended.

The way it falls varies depending on the paper’s thickness and type, so try different kinds of paper.

Make it with a square sheet of paper! Super Easy Origami Popper

A party popper that’s perfect for birthday parties and Christmas gatherings! You can make a simple one with just a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half vertically, rotate it, and fold it in half again to form a square.

Then open the side with the opening into a triangle, and do the same on the back.

Once opened, fold it in half into a triangle—and you’re done! Hold the folded inner section and flick it, and it will pop open with a “bang!” just like a party popper.

Real party poppers can only be used once, but this origami popper can be folded back and reused, so you can enjoy it over and over during the party!

Rocket

[Origami] How to Fold a Rocket You Can Fly and Play With – Easy! Origami / fukuoriroom

As an origami toy that makes you want to play with friends, rockets are also recommended.

This idea involves folding origami into a cone-like shape to recreate a rocket.

You can display it as is or glue it onto construction paper, but there’s a special way to play with it that I’d like to share.

First, prepare a bendable straw and insert the drinking end into the rocket.

Then blow, and the rocket will lift off.

It’s fun to compete with your friends to see whose rocket can fly the highest.
