How to fold a cute fox

[Origami] Fox - Easy, Cute, Autumn

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

Super easy! Fox face

How to Fold Origami [Fox Face] / Easy Origami Folding How-to Video Series [ORIGAMing]

This is a way to fold a fox face in just five folds.

First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Next, fold so that the two 45-degree corners meet, creating a crease.

Then, fold so that the 90-degree corner aligns with the point where the crease intersects the base.

Finally, fold each of the 45-degree corners upward, and you’re done.

Turn it face up and draw the fox’s face.

With no complicated steps and only a few folds, this is an easy origami project to try.

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

[Origami] Roasted Sweet Potato

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.
