[Childcare] Today’s Fun Origami Play

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 have a little spare time or are waiting around, you sometimes pass the time with quizzes or games so the kids don’t get bored, right?

But since both of those can get pretty lively, they’re not ideal when you need to wait quietly.

That’s why I recommend this article: today’s origami activity.

Origami is easy to carry without taking up space, and kids can play quietly while staying focused.

This article is updated daily, so be sure to bookmark it and put it to use in your childcare setting!

Let’s make a peace-symbol dove with origami! Fold the paper into a triangle and place it with the tip facing you.

Fold the base upward so the tip sticks out beyond the edge.

Lift the top layer and fold it back down, then fold the whole piece in half.

Use the small triangular part that sticks out as the head, and fold the large triangular section diagonally upward to form the wing.

Fold the tip of the face to make a small beak, and your flying dove is complete.

By offsetting the wing folds, you can create the look of flapping.

It’s also lovely to use origami with different colors and patterns to decorate like a rainbow.

Gift-shaped message card

[Christmas Origami] Easy Message Card with One Sheet 🎀 How to Make a Message Card #card #ribbon #howtofold #origami #paperfolding

Gift-shaped message card

Let’s make a gift-shaped message card filled with gratitude for someone who always helps you.

Prepare two-tone origami paper with different colors on the front and back to create the ribbon’s knot.

First, fold the top and bottom edges slightly, then fold the paper in half to make a center crease, and fold the edges toward that center line.

Next, turn the paper vertically and make a small fold at the bottom.

With the folded part facing up, fold to form the shape of a ribbon.

At this point, have your child draw any illustrations or write a message freely.

Then fold the paper so the message is hidden, and you’re done.

Try making this Christmas card that’s fun both when you give the present and when the message is revealed.

In conclusion

We introduced today’s origami. Many ideas were presented—was there any origami you felt like making? If you only have one sheet of paper, you can fold it and divide it into four equal parts so four people can fold together. Be sure to have fun folding with your friends or teacher!
