Canola flowers that bloom in spring are delicate and charming, aren’t they? Making them with origami gives them an even softer feel, so I highly recommend it.

Since the canola blossoms are made from paper cut into 1/16 size, some children may find the folding a bit difficult.

In that case, please work together with a teacher or guardian.
