How to fold an easy uchiwa (paper fan)

[Origami] How to Fold a Uchiwa Fan – Easy Tutorial – Summer Origami – Kids Can Make It [Origami]

Here’s a fan craft idea you can also use for summer wall decorations.

Place the origami paper with the colored side up, fold it into a triangle, then open it.

Fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so that the folded corner is at the bottom.

Fold the two corners at the center of the paper outward to form triangles.

Tuck the corners slightly to the back to round them, and do the same to round the top corner.

Fold up the lower corner of the white area, then fold it back down leaving about 1 cm to create a pleat (accordion fold).

While flattening the corners of the pleated section into triangles, fold the left and right edges toward the center line.

Tuck the bottom corner to the back, and your fan is complete.

Cute sunflower

[Preschool Crafts] Summer Origami Project: Cute Sunflowers

Let’s make a sunflower in origami that blooms toward the summer sun.

Glue yellow and orange origami paper together so that both colored sides are visible.

Make firm creases as you fold.

When you open and fold the paper toward the center, do it gently and carefully.

Fold each corner inward, then align the folded sections to the center and fold the left and right sides.

Open the folded sections, fold the top upward, then tuck the corners inside to shape the sunflower’s petals and finish the flower.

To make the center, fold a piece of brown origami paper in half into a triangle twice, then fold the corners toward the center.

Insert the brown piece into the middle of the sunflower, and you’re done.

Please give it a try!

Fluffy ice cream

[Mysterious Art] Fluffy Ice Cream #preschoolideas #craft #DIY #daycare #artsandcrafts #indoorplay #making #kindergartenteacher

Recommended when you want to make a three-dimensional piece! Here’s a fluffy ice cream idea.

Mix shaving foam with glue and a coloring agent to make foam.

Use a bit less glue than shaving foam to keep it fluffy.

Cut construction paper into a cone shape, draw a pattern, and attach it to the base.

Pile the foam on top of the cone to represent the ice cream, then add stickers or drawings in the blank spaces on the backing paper to finish.

Sprinkling powdered pastel on the foam as a topping might make it look pretty.

Collage Ice Cream

[Craft for Toddlers] Collage Ice Cream 🍦🤍 [Wall Display]

Here are some ice cream craft ideas that also let you enjoy making collages.

Cut the cup or cone bases out of cardboard, then decorate them by drawing patterns with pens or using colored paper.

For the ice cream scoops, basically cut circles out of construction paper, and have fun adding various toppings with small pieces of colored paper or stickers.

It’s also cute to make “collage ice cream” by gluing torn newspaper or flyers onto the round paper scoops.

Once your ice cream is done, attach it to the base to finish.

Summer item! Straw hat

Summer Item: Easy! Origami 'Straw Hat' (Hiragana Guide)

Let me show you a simple way to fold a summery, breezy straw hat.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it up, then fold the two left edges to meet the crease.

Next, fold the remaining corner inward to form an isosceles triangle.

Flip the paper over and fold up the base of the triangle by about 2 cm.

Fold that section down in half, then fold it up again in half to create the brim.

Fold down the top point of the triangle to shape the hat, tuck in both corners to round it out, and you’re done!

How to fold a classic summer watermelon (origami)

[Preschool Craft] A Summer Classic ♪ Super Easy Watermelon Origami | Very Easy Watermelon Origami

Here’s how to make a delicious summer favorite—an origami watermelon.

Attach red and green origami paper together so that both colored sides are visible.

Fold it in half and cut along the center with scissors.

With the red side facing up, fold up the bottom slightly.

Flip it over and fold it in half; then fold the sides inward along the center line so they’re symmetrical.

Flip it over again, fold in any parts that stick out, and tuck them into the pocket to finish the watermelon.

Use a felt-tip pen to draw the seeds and make your tasty-looking watermelon! Using yellow and green origami paper is also recommended.
