[Childcare] Things to make in October! Easy origami ideas

medal

Easy way to make an origami medal/decoration ~How to make an easy origami medal~

There’s a phrase in Japanese, “autumn is for sports.” Many preschools and kindergartens hold their sports days in the fall.

So let’s make “Well-Done” award medals out of origami! First, using the creases you made in advance, fold in four small squares.

Then, one by one, open and press them outward from the inside to form the circular decorative part of the medal.

Once you’ve gone all the way around, it’s done! You might attach a longer string so the medal can be worn around the neck.

You can also draw patterns on it with a pen, if you like.

It moves! A flapping bat

Origami [Moving Bat / Flapping Bat] Easy folding method. Fun! A paper toy kids will love. Great for Halloween too ♪ ◇ Origami paper moving bat easy tutorial

This is perfect for Halloween decorations or toys, with wings that flap amusingly.

First, cut the origami paper into a long rectangle and fold it in half vertically to make a crease.

Then fold both ends into triangles toward the center.

Keeping that shape, fold it in half vertically again, and fold further in the same direction to add a light crease at the center.

Next, flip it over and insert a finger at the center to make two creases.

Reinforce the creases you made earlier, and it’s done! By lightly holding the top and bottom of the center and moving them, the wings on both sides will flap.

[Origami] Easy Mushroom Folding Tutorial – Autumn Origami – A Simple Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Make [Origami]

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when mushrooms are delicious.

So let’s make a mushroom out of origami.

First, fold up the bottom edge of the origami paper.

Make sure the folded section and the remaining white section are the same width.

Turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges in to meet at the center.

Open the pockets on both sides and squash them into triangles, then fold the corners on both sides of each triangle inward.

To finish, fold the corners of the stem and the lower part of the cap to round them off.

It would also look cute if you draw a face on it.

Witch hat for Halloween

[Origami] Chestnut – Easy Tutorial, Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3; Child-Friendly Folding Method; Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.

First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.

Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.

Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.

If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.

Origami Halloween pumpkin

November Origami — Fallen Leaves

Here’s an origami idea for fallen leaves that also helps kids practice using scissors.

Place the colored side up and fold the paper into a triangle.

Next, make accordion folds from the left edge in 1 cm widths.

Once the accordion folds are done, unfold back to the triangle and fold up the base diagonally so that the left side becomes thicker.

Fold the top corners outward into small triangles, then slowly open the paper.

Tuck the triangular corner tips to the back to shape it like a leaf.

Open the white section on the left edge, make a slit on the opposite side, and form the leaf stem.

After that, add small cuts or folds as you like to give it the look of a fallen leaf.

Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Origami “Squirrel” Easy How-To [Autumn Craft Activity]

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel out of origami, perfect for autumn crafts.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Then, as if making a paper cup, fold both corners inward so they cross over and overlap.

Turn the paper upside down, and fold the corners you just made upward to create the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over, and fold up one layer of the bottom corner into a triangle.

Fold a small part of that corner to the back to represent the squirrel’s white belly.

Flip the paper over again, fold up the remaining bottom corner, then make a small cut near the left edge and shape it into the tail.

Draw the body pattern and face with a pen to finish.
