Heart with a ribbon

Let me show you how to fold a cute origami with a ribbon in the middle of a heart—packed with everything girls love.
It looks lovely with solid-colored paper, but using cute patterned paper or double-sided colored paper makes it even cuter, so I highly recommend it! There are quite a few steps, so take your time folding while referring to the video.
You can display the finished piece in your room or swap them with friends—it sounds fun either way.
Be sure to make lots of them!
Push button

Folding origami is a lot of fun, but it’s even more enjoyable when you can play with what you’ve made! This time, we’ll show you how to make a push button.
As the name suggests, it’s a game where you press the button, and it’s so much fun that you can make a button out of origami and press it over and over.
Please try making it while referring to the video for instructions! The folds may be a bit complex, but once you make one, you’ll likely be able to make more and more—so making a bunch, lining them up, and playing with them would be even more fun!
Cherry Blossom Medal
https://www.tiktok.com/@sachimama_asobi/video/7349553972010634498We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom medal that’s perfect for celebratory occasions like kindergarten entrance ceremonies, school entrance ceremonies, and class advancement ceremonies.
Because it involves some complex folding and the use of scissors, it’s a craft best suited for older kindergarteners and elementary school children.
It may look difficult at first, but since there are many repeated steps, kids will likely get the hang of it after folding it a few times.
It makes a lovely gift from teachers, of course, but also as a present made and given by current students.
We also recommend attaching a message card on the back.
Please put your heart into making it!
strawberry

Here’s how to make a spring strawberry using a single sheet of origami paper.
Fold the paper in half into a triangle.
Open it, then fold the left and right corners toward the center along the crease.
Fold up the bottom section by about one-third, then tuck the corners slightly inward to form the strawberry shape.
Finally, fold the stem section outward, and you’re done.
A tip is to color the stem with crayons or markers.
Since this strawberry is simple and uses just one sheet of origami paper, it’s perfect for three-year-olds!
Apple

How about making a 3D apple out of origami? It’s a perfect new challenge for those who are tired of flat creations.
With just a single sheet of paper, you can realistically capture the apple’s round shape and even the green leaf.
The steps are simple, so it seems like something you can enjoy with your kids.
It’s exciting to see the shape gradually emerge as you keep folding.
The finished apple could work as a seasonal decoration or even a small container.
Why not enjoy making apples together with your family and friends?
