ogre mask

Oni Mask Setsubun Craft [Preschool Craft Made by Children] BABYJOB

Here’s a craft idea for making an oni using paper plates and yarn.

If adults prepare the face and horn parts in advance, even small children can enjoy it.

First, paint the paper plate with your favorite paints.

Since it will be the oni’s face, red or blue are classics.

Once the paint dries, glue horns and yarn at the top to represent the hair.

Finally, attach the face parts and it’s done! It’s also fun to create the face with crayon resist art.

Let the children freely place each part on purpose, so they can fully express their individuality.

Oni roly-poly doll

[Handmade for Setsubun] Okiagari-Koboshi Oni 👹

Here’s an idea for a roly-poly oni (ogre) made with balloons from the 100-yen shop! You’ll also use shoji paper and flower paper.

First, inflate a balloon, add a small weight, tie the neck, and make it the base.

Tear the shoji paper, then use glue thinned with water to layer it onto the balloon and shape it.

Once dry, stick on flower paper to add color, and attach eyes, mouth, and horns made from construction paper to complete the oni.

Kids will love how it pops back up when knocked over.

It’s also fun to adapt it for the season into a daruma or animals.

a one-horned ogre

Recommended for Setsubun crafts! Let’s make an oni (demon) face with origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it back up, then fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.

Once you’ve done that, rotate the paper so the folded left side is at the bottom, and flip it over.

Next, fold the top corner down about 2 cm, then fold it back up so the tip aligns with the base of the triangle you just made.

This will be the oni’s hair.

Flip the paper over again, fold the bottom corner up to create the horns on the head.

Then fold the left and right corners inward so they line up with the sides of the part you folded up, and fold the bottom corner as well to shape the face.

Your oni is complete!

Oni of Setsubun

[Origami] Setsubun Oni-chan Squad [Easy Folding Method]

Here’s an idea for making an ogre using a single sheet of origami paper.

Start by folding the paper into a triangle, then fold both corners inward so they align neatly—up to this point, it’s the same steps as making a paper cup.

Once you’ve done that, flip the origami upside down, and fold the two corners you just made upward.

These will be the ogre’s horns.

They’ll be too thick as is, so reverse-fold the inner sides outward to make the horns thinner.

Next, fold up the bottom point into a triangle, then fold both corners of that triangle inward to finish.

Add a face with a pen, and use patterned washi tape to create the pants, and you’ll have a wonderful ogre.

ogre’s iron club

[Setsubun Origami] Easy Oni's Club with One Sheet ✨ How to make a paper spiked club #dokkaebi #oni #club #bangmangi #Setsubun #howtofold #origami #paper #easy #diy

For this idea, use origami paper measuring 7.5 cm × 15 cm.

First, position the paper so the 15 cm sides are at the top and bottom.

Next, fold it in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together, crease well, and open it.

Then fold the top and bottom edges in to meet the center crease.

After that, fold the right edge over the left edge to fold the paper in half, and create a step by folding back a strip about 1 cm wide from the crease.

This step separates the club (kanabō) section from the handle section.

For the handle, fold the top and bottom of the right-side portion of the paper in toward the center crease, and squash the pulled corner into a triangle.

Finally, fold the four corners of the remaining club section into triangles to round them off, and you’re done.

Oni made with finger paint

Let’s enjoy the process of paints blending together and the cool, tactile feeling as we create! This is an idea I’d love children who think ogres are scary to try.

You will need drawing paper, paints in various colors, plastic wrap, crayons, scissors, and glue.

Using two to three colors of paint makes the color blending more fun.

Letting children choose their favorite paints might spark excitement and help them express their creativity.

If you use pastel-colored paints, it will result in a gentle, soft look—be sure to give it a try.

Let’s make and play! Here’s a fun idea you can use for Setsubun events, too.

It would be a waste to only make crafts for Setsubun—why not incorporate them into a game? In the video, we introduce a game where you launch a paper Ehomaki to hit oni targets made from toilet paper rolls and construction paper.

You can adjust the target designs and the way you play to suit different age groups.

This is a great idea for teachers planning Setsubun events!
