Unique and adorable expressions! Here are some fun ideas for a chomp-chomp frog.

Frogs are often seen during the rainy season, but they’re also familiar to children through nursery rhymes and picture books.

This time, let’s make a chomp-chomp frog that feels like you can have a conversation with it, and enjoy interacting with kids.

What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper, one sheet cut in half, glue or double-sided tape, red origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and more.

The lively, talkative movement is sure to capture children’s interest.

morning glory

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

Watermelon that fits in your pocket

Watermelon that fits in your pocket

We’re introducing a cute watermelon origami that’s like a little pocket that can hold anything.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and start by folding it horizontally.

Then open it up and make creases along the center line.

Flip it over and fold the top, bottom, left, and right corners to meet the second crease from the top.

To shape it like a watermelon, fold each section in order while checking where to fold.

While adjusting the shape, create the pocket.

For the inside (the red part of the watermelon), use red origami paper and fold it to fit the pocket.

Layer the two parts together, and it’s complete.

Here’s how to fold an origami penguin that can also wear a hat and scarf.

First, fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

With a corner pointing down, fold up the top layer so about 2 centimeters stick out, then fold it down along the edge.

Fold the edge you just made in half to make a crease, then fold the bottom corner up to that crease to set a guideline.

Next, fold the other corner up toward the front crease.

Fold the tip of the corner down just a little.

Fold up along the crease you made earlier, align the edges, and fold the whole piece in half.

Finally, adjust the shape to look like a penguin and draw the eyes with a pen to finish.

Try making a hat and scarf for it, too!

Peekaboo Penguin

Peekaboo Penguin

Here’s a super cute way to fold a penguin that’s perfect to attach to letters or cards! First, place the origami paper with the back side facing up and fold it into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Lift one corner up to just slightly before the center line, then fold both edges of the lifted section upward at a slight diagonal.

Fold both corners of that folded section inward.

Turn it over so the white side is facing you, and fold along the center line twice to shape the face.

Next, use a 2.5 cm piece of origami paper to make the hands.

Start with a basic “zabuton” fold, then fold both corners diagonally to shape the hands.

Make two of these.

Finally, glue the hands on, and add eyes and a mouth with round stickers or similar—done!

This is an easy and cute origami penguin.

First, turn the paper over and make two creases by folding it in half both ways into a square.

Fold one edge down to align with the center crease.

Flip it over, then fold the left and right edges to the center line.

Open the colored corner and squash-fold it.

Fold the bottom edge up to the center to make a crease, open it once, then fold the bottom tip inward along that crease.

Fold the corners to form the feet.

Fold the protruding colored corner to suggest the hands.

Finally, round off the colored tip to finish! Decorate it cutely with round stickers or a pen.

A penguin that’s perfect for decorations

[1 sheet of origami] Penguin — How to fold an origami penguin.
A penguin that's perfect for decorations

Let’s make a penguin out of origami—perfect as a seasonal decoration for fans or other ornaments.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then gently squash-fold it by inserting your finger into the pocket and pressing down softly from the top to puff it open.

Keep folding along the creases to form the penguin’s shape.

Be careful when using scissors to make the cuts—don’t cut the wrong spots.

As you continue, the paper will get thicker, but sharpening your creases will make it easier to proceed.

Once you fold the wings and feet while checking the balance, you’re done.

Give it a try!
