[Childcare] Simple origami ideas for kids, perfect for spring

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Why not enjoy spring-themed origami with the children in your childcare setting?

Making spring motifs like cherry blossoms and butterflies will help everyone feel the season.

Prepare colorful origami paper and let the children choose their favorite colors to make it even more fun.

Origami is a great opportunity to nurture creativity and concentration, so try making a variety of creations.

Start with simple projects and gradually take on more challenging ones so the children can experience a sense of accomplishment.

Display their creations and enjoy spring together!

Here’s what we’re sharing this time: “A Sakura Tree with a Stained-Glass Look Using Transparent Origami”! It’s an arranged version of our popular posts “Colorful Autumn Tree” and “Christmas Tree.” This time it’s back as a cherry blossom tree. The cherry blossom season is coming, isn’t it? Are you going flower viewing? It’s easy and cute to make at home or in the classroom, so I’d be happy if you copy it and give it a try! 😊#March production #April Production Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Nursery School Craft #SpringCrafts #Spring crafts

I want to decorate a sunny windowsill! Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom tree using transparent origami paper.

You’ll need brown construction paper, scissors, glue, transparent origami paper or colored cellophane, a clear file (plastic sleeve), and a cherry blossom-shaped frame made from construction paper.

Traditional-style cherry blossom crafts are lovely, but why not use this idea to create bright, stylish blossoms? Displayed by the window, they’ll sparkle in the sunlight and give off a different, delightful vibe.

A strawberry you can make with three folds

Origami Strawberry [Super Easy] [Just 3 Folds] [Preschool Craft]

A strawberry you can make with three folds

Cute and round! Here’s an idea for making a strawberry with just three folds.

You’ll need red origami paper, green origami paper cut to quarter size, glue, scissors, and colored pencils.

The charm of this idea is how easy it is—you can make it by folding the red paper three times! If you want a rounder shape, fold the corners to the back to adjust as you like.

For the calyx (leafy top), cut the quarter-size green paper into a long vertical strip and glue it on.

Finally, draw the seeds with colored pencils to finish it off!

Hardworking and strong enough to carry things heavier than their own bodies! Let’s make an ant out of origami.

You’ll need origami paper in colors like black or gray, plus a pen and round stickers.

Ants become active from spring to summer, so you probably see them often when you go for a walk.

There are also many songs and picture books about ants! Making an ant with origami at such times is recommended because it helps clarify the aim of the activity.

The steps are simple and easy to follow! Drawing the legs and eyes will make it even cuter.

Easy! How to fold an origami bunny | Moon-viewing craft for ages 2 and up — Origami Bunny

rabbit

How about making the Easter bunny, a character from the spring holiday, out of origami? After folding the paper into a triangle twice, open the pockets on both sides and flatten it into a square.

Place it with the flaps at the top, then fold the top corner down to the bottom corner.

Flip it over and do the same—doesn’t it start to look like a bunny? The two triangles become the ears, so fold them in toward the center line on the left and right.

Shape the chin and ears to complete the face.

The body is a bit more complex to fold, so please work on it together with an adult or teacher.

Once you glue the face and body together, your cute bunny is complete!
