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

A fish you can make by folding five times

[Origami for Summer Festivals] Easy-to-Fold Fish

Let me show you a very simple way to fold a fish.

First, fold it into a triangle and open it to make a crease.

Fold the left corner slightly inward, then fold it back into a triangle.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to the bottom edge, and then make a valley fold on the right corner—and you’re done! Feel free to draw the face, fins, and scales as you like.

Even if the folding angles aren’t exact, it won’t affect the finished fish; in fact, you’ll end up with a charming, unique fish.

It sounds like a great way to fully enjoy the fun of origami!

Pac-Pac Fish

Surprisingly easy 💫 Pac-Man fish 🐟 #origami

Let me show you an easy way to fold a fish whose mouth opens and closes.

Fold the origami paper into thirds both vertically and horizontally to make crease lines, then unfold.

If you have a 3×3 grid of squares, you’re set.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases and unfold, then add one vertical crease on each side of the center line and unfold again.

Fold the top and bottom corners inward along the three vertical creases to form the protruding parts.

Pinch the left and right corners and fold along the creases—like magic, it turns into a fish shape! Fold the tail fin and dorsal fin inward, puff it up slightly, and it’s done.

If you pinch it top and bottom, the mouth opens and closes—very fun!

Easy-to-make fish

[Origami] Fish - Easy and cute way to fold, even toddlers can do it

Let’s fold a cute, square-shaped fish! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then open just one layer.

Fold the left and right corners up toward the top point of the triangle.

Next, fold the flappy part up slightly, and do the same with the lower flappy part, folding it up a little.

Flip it over, then fold the split flaps on the left and right diagonally upward, and fold the bottom corner down to create the fish’s tail.

Flip it over again, and you’re done! It would be fun to make lots of fish and set up an aquarium corner!

snow crab

This is a snow crab, a sea creature characterized by its large claws and unique shape.

Fold the origami into a triangle, then fold back the bottom portion to create additional creases.

Turn it over and continue folding along the creases to form steps; this will create the crab’s body.

To represent the crab’s signature large claws, layer the paper as you fold, sharpening the tips for a realistic finish.

Once you’ve shaped the claws, draw the eyes with a pen at the end to complete a cute snow crab with an expressive look.
