[Childcare] Origami Snake Folding Ideas Collection

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

When you hear the word “snake,” what kind of snake comes to mind?

Green or brown, long or thick—what you imagine probably varies from person to person.

That’s because there are said to be about 4,000 species of snakes living in the world, and they come in a variety of colors like red and blue.

Let’s try making some of these many kinds of snakes with origami!

Be sure to use origami paper in lots of different colors and create them however you like.

We’re also sharing ideas for origami snakes that can bite or wiggle, so it sounds like it would be fun to play with them together with your friends after you make them!

a thin snake

Speaking of snakes, their thin, long bodies are distinctive, aren’t they? Let’s try expressing that snake-like feature with origami.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper in half and cut it.

When you have two rectangles, line them up side by side and glue them together.

Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center to make it even thinner.

Next, fold the head; this requires some fine work, so it’s best to go step by step and fold together with an adult.

Once the head is done, fold the body even thinner and curl it around a finger to give it some shape.

Finally, add eye stickers or draw patterns to decorate, and you’re finished.

Make lots of friends for your snake and have fun playing with them!

In conclusion

We introduced some fun-to-make snake origami.

There were various folding methods—some that capture their long, slithering form and others that make them hop with a little jump.

Even for snakes, there are many ways to fold them.

Try making them in lots of colors for a vibrant collection!
