Children's Origami

Origami Boxes

start with a rectangle

fold in half and open



fold both sides into the middle

make a small fold back on both sides

fold in the corners and tuck them under the small fold

place your fingers in the corners and lift into shape



Winter Origami Bears

Start with a square and fold diagonally across. You will be left with a triangle like the one below.



I have put lines on the other examples to make it easier.

Fold in half and unfold

Fold the left and right over towards each other so it looks like below

Next 2 folds

Fold the right and left tips outward at an angle so it looks like below.

Next 3 folds

  Fold in each ear and the bottom lip then turn over.

Fold the other side of the bottom lip up then fold the final fold forming the mouth.

Origami Stars

All you need is 3 Squares all the same size.

Fold the squares in half diagonally.

                                        Glue 2 circles closed

                                Glue one on top of the other

                       The 3rd triangle glue on top like below 

                 Chilren can write messages inside the last triangle

                                             

Halloween Black Cat

Origami cats are one of the easiest  ones to do ! A quick little make for children.



Fold diagonally

Start with a square

                    

Fold again to make a right angled Triange

Open back up and fold in one side

Fold in the other side

           

Turn over and we have the cat face.

       Origami Love hearts

First you need two rectangles of the same size. Make sure the lenfth of the short end of the rectangle can be by 3 divided .  Place one on top of the other and cut one end into a curve.
 Like the photo below.

Next divide the straight end into 3 sections ,draw a line under the curved end and mark off 3 section again. Then cut along. like the photo below. Don't forget to put the 2 bits together before you cut.

 Next comes the children's part. the child gets 2 and weaves the strips together

Over and under for one strip under and over for the next.

{ bigger the rectangle the bigger the heart}
