Easy Mushroom Origami Instructions

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Origami Mushroom Tutorial♪

When you think of autumn flavors, many people probably imagine mushrooms.

Let’s make a mushroom out of origami.

First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then open it and fold two corners toward the center.

Next, turn it over and fold the remaining two corners up to form a rectangle.

Turn it over again, fold the left and right sides inward, then fold it in half.

Fold down only the white part.

Fold the left and right sides of the white part inward.

Finally, fold all the corners inward to create rounded edges, and you’re done.

Feel free to draw patterns on your mushroom by adding drawings or stickers.

Cute little fox

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Craft! Cute Fox with Origami ♪ | Origami Fox

Let’s make a fox out of origami—a creature that often appears in fairy tales and folk stories set in autumn.

This time, we’ll use two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle.

Lift and fold only the top layer at the largest corner so that a small white part shows.

Turn it over, then fold both side corners up toward the center to form the ears.

Draw the eyes with a pen.

Next, fold the second sheet into a triangle, then fold it in half again, slightly offset.

Finally, glue the face piece from the first sheet to the body piece from the second sheet, and you’re done.

There aren’t many steps, and it’s very easy to make, so give it a try!

Handmade microphone

[4-year-olds] Looks just like the real thing?! Handmade microphone!

Let me introduce a cute original microphone craft.

Prepare a plastic wrap tube, a capsule toy container, origami paper, and yarn, and let’s make it.

Wrap the origami paper around the plastic wrap tube so that a bit of the paper sticks out on either the left or right side.

On the side where the paper sticks out, tape on the yarn, crumple the extra paper to make it small, and tuck it into the center of the wrap tube—this completes the microphone handle.

Next, place the capsule toy container on top of the wrap tube and tape it so it won’t fall off, and your microphone is complete! Draw a switch on the handle, and add illustrations or stickers as you like to create your very own original microphone.

fly agaric

[1 sheet of origami] Super easy! How to fold a cute plant “Amanita muscaria (mushroom)” with origami. It’s easy! [Mushroom]

Here’s an idea for making a fly agaric mushroom that captures its distinctive features.

You will need red origami paper and white round stickers.

The fly agaric is a mushroom characterized by its red cap with white spots and it grows on the ground in broadleaf forests.

Although it looks attractive, it is poisonous, so be careful not to touch it carelessly if you see one.

Use the red origami paper to make the cap and add spots with the white round stickers.

Some steps are a bit tricky, so it’s safer to work together with a parent or teacher!
