Corn is in season in the summer, and it’s sweet and delicious, isn’t it? Here’s how to make a corn cob using two sheets of origami paper.

Stack green and yellow origami so the colors show, fold it into a triangle, and make a crease.

Fold both sides of the paper toward the center line.

Then partially open the folded corners outward halfway to create the corn husk.

Adjust the balance between the corn kernels and the husk, and you’re done.

Try drawing a face to make your own original summer corn!

Penguin you can make with two sheets of origami paper

I will show you how to make a cute penguin that feels cool for summer.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue, and let’s get started.

We’ll begin with the penguin’s face.

Take one sheet of origami and fold one corner by about one third.

Flip it over, then fold the left, right, and bottom edges to form the shape of the penguin’s face.

For the body, fold the left and right sides of the origami diagonally, flip it over, then fold up the tip of the bottom section to finish.

Attach the face and body together, then add the beak, eyes, and facial expression to create your cute penguin.

Open the paper and fold the four corners inward along the lines.

Turn the paper over, fold the corners, shape it into a morning glory, and you’re done.

Cute seashell

Let’s make a summery, seasonal seashell out of origami.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half, then fold the left and right corners toward the center crease.

Fold toward the center crease again.

Flip it over and further fold the left and right corners toward the center crease.

Open the paper, fold the corners, and shape the whole piece into a seashell.

The overall crease lines represent the lines of the shell, giving it a more three-dimensional look.

The finished seashell is also great to incorporate into crafts that evoke an underwater scene.

Origami Whale

[For 4-year-olds] Let’s try it—seasonal origami: “Whale”

Perfect for summer! Here are some origami whale ideas.

How about making a whale gliding gracefully through the sea—you can almost hear the splash! Displaying your finished creation in a room will give it a cool, refreshing feel.

What you’ll need: blue-toned origami paper (like light blue), pens or crayons, and construction paper.

It also sounds fun to let your finished whale swim in the ocean you imagine and to draw its expression.

You’ll probably see creations full of the children’s unique touches.

A sunflower you can fold from a single sheet of origami paper

[Origami] How to easily make a sunflower from a single sheet! A method kids can do too

Here’s how to fold a sunflower, the symbol of summer.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then open it up and fold all four corners to the center.

Open those folds, and then fold each corner to match the nearest crease in front.

Using the creases where the corners meet, make four squash folds, then flip the paper over.

Finally, tuck each of the four corners slightly inward to finish.

Draw a mesh pattern in the white center to make it look more like a sunflower.

Why not fold lots of them and create a sunflower field on your wall?
