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

Yukata Kids

Speaking of summer, you often see people going out to festivals wearing yukata.

Here’s an introduction to making “Yukata Kids” with origami.

It’s recommended to use patterned origami paper for the yukata.

The steps are simple, so fold each part carefully and assemble while checking the overall balance.

There are separate face and hair parts for a girl and a boy, so choose whichever you like and give it a try.

Adding a ribbon or other accessory on the hair makes it look more stylish, enhances the summery feel, and results in an even cuter finish.

stag beetle

[Summer Origami] How to fold a stag beetle with audio commentary ☆ Origami easily — Stag Beetle Tutorial, August Summer Decoration

Here’s a popular stag beetle you can make with origami that’s a big hit with kids.

We recommend preparing black or brown origami paper.

Line up the left and right edges of the paper and crease along the center.

By making firm creases, it becomes easier to fold the beetle’s base body and mandibles evenly.

Fold the body while checking the size and keeping the balance.

Finally, fold both sides of the body to finish.

Add eyes and draw a face to create a cool-looking stag beetle!

shell

Origami Shell / How to fold an origami seashell

This is an origami shell with a beautiful appearance.

It uses a single sheet of paper to represent a bivalve.

By adding accordion-like creases on the surface, you create a textured, three-dimensional effect.

Using white origami gives it a fresh look, while blue gives it a cool feel.

It would look great displayed with other sea-themed origami to evoke an ocean scene.

You could also use it as a wall decoration or even like a brooch.

Its simple look makes it easy to pair with all kinds of items and enjoy in various ways.

morning glory

[Origami] Easy! Cute Flower Morning Glory Folding Method (Origami Flower Morning Glory)

This is an origami morning glory with an interesting three-dimensional structure.

First, use origami paper in your favorite color, such as blue or pink, to fold the petals.

Next, make the vine.

Morning glory vines have a spiral shape, right? To recreate that, use a toothpick.

Wrap a thin strip of green origami paper around the toothpick.

That way, it will look just like a real vine.

Don’t forget to make the leaves as well.

Because it consists of three parts, it has a sense of depth, and the coiling vine also gives it a dynamic feel.

Easy Origami Eggplant

Eggplant with origami — it’s easy. Origami for July, August, and summer. Eggplant (nasu).

Let me introduce a delicious-looking eggplant made of origami—perfect for summer vegetables.

Prepare one sheet each of purple and light purple origami and let’s get started.

Fold the light purple sheet to create the base of the eggplant.

Partway through, cut the dark purple origami into a smaller square and glue it onto the light purple sheet—this is the key step.

That part will become the eggplant’s calyx.

Keep making sharp creases as you shape the eggplant.

Once it’s finished, it’s also fun to draw an eggplant field on poster paper and stick on the completed eggplants to enjoy with the children.

tomato

[Preschool Crafts] Let’s Make It with Origami! Easy Mini Tomato ♪ | Origami Mini Tomato

This tomato origami is perfect for make-believe play.

You’ll fold a red sheet of origami paper into a circle to make it.

For the stem, flip the top part inside out and color the white area with a green pen.

By the way, if you cut the origami into four equal pieces beforehand, you can make cherry tomatoes.

It could be fun to make a set with a big tomato and mini tomatoes.

You can also combine it with other vegetables to recreate a greengrocer’s stall as a play activity.

For coloring, an oil-based marker is recommended.
