Origami perfect for summer. Fun and easy for kids to make!

cucumber

How about an idea for folding a cucumber out of origami to spark more interest in vegetables? This one uses a simple method that even toddlers can enjoy! Prepare a sheet of green origami paper cut in half.

Place the half sheet with the short side at the top, then fold it in half vertically.

Even at this stage it looks like a long, rectangular cucumber, but if you slightly fold all four corners inward to round them, it will look even more like a real cucumber! You can draw prickles with crayons, and adding eyes and a mouth makes it cute, too.

Let’s make the dreamy dessert you see at festivals and fruit shops! Here are some ideas for strawberry candy apples (candied strawberries).

You’ll need three pieces of red origami cut into quarter-size squares, pale orange or brown origami, glue or double-sided tape, and pens or colored pencils.

You can enjoy goldfish scooping too! Let’s make plump little goldfish! First, start by folding using the origami balloon method, and complete the front side just like the balloon.

Once that’s done, turn it over and fold the left and right corners down to meet the center line.

Fold up the lower-left corner, apply glue over one side, then fold it in half and stick it together.

Attach round stickers for the eyes.

There’s an air hole on the tail side, so use a straw to blow air into it and inflate.

And there you have it—a plump and cute goldfish! Put some lily-of-the-valley tape (suzuran tape) in a basin to look like water and enjoy playing goldfish scooping!

Let’s make an angelfish with a cute, colorful triangular shape! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then open it once.

Fold the left corner up along the center line, flip it over, and fold the opposite corner up along the center line as well.

The inside of the lower edge of the triangle will open, so open it and gently squash-fold.

Fold the top and bottom flaps so they overlap in the middle, flip it over, and you’re done! Feel free to draw the eyes and scales.

If you hang it with fishing line, it will look like it’s swimming around your room—super cute!

shark

@azacraft44

DIY bikin origami ikan hiu mudah banget #origamitutorial#handmade#fyp

♪ Happy Cha-Cha BGM – MaksJ

A quirky shark that bends! Here’s how to fold a shark using a single sheet of origami paper.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color and some decorations for the eyes and mouth.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Using the corner as a pivot, fold one corner up to the center, then fold the tip down along the crease.

Repeat the same steps on the other side, layering the folds.

Finish by decorating the shark’s eyes and mouth, and you’re done.

It’s also cute if kids draw the eyes and mouth with crayons, so that’s recommended!

Sea bream you can make simply

@user4u7h1vrm07

Red sea bream-gratulations!ChildcareChildcare studentNew YearOrigami

I Want to Be Cute (feat. Hanon & Kotoha) – HoneyWorks

Sea bream (tai), known as an auspicious fish, is often used for celebrations and longevity occasions.

Let’s make one easily! First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the left side—this will be the tail—upward at a diagonal.

For the right side, which will be the face, tuck the corner inward.

For the dorsal fin, fold the lower side downward, then fold the corner back up slightly.

And your tai is complete! Using warm colors like red or orange makes it look even more realistic.

Draw the face and scales as you like, and let it swim by decorating it on a wall or window!

Fish you can make in 2 minutes

[Origami] An easy origami fish you can make in 2 minutes / How to make an easy origami “fish” (in 2 minutes!)

Here’s a cute fish origami that’s great for three-year-olds.

First, prepare a square sheet of origami paper.

Fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Fold the top corner toward the center.

Fold that top part inward once more to neaten the shape.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees to the side, then fold the left and right corners back to create the tail fin.

Finally, press the whole piece to set the shape—and it’s done! It’s fun to use colorful paper and make a whole fish wall display.

Be sure to try it together with the children.
