What's New
Origami Mummy
These origami mummy heads are very easy to fold, and look spectacular (or should we say spooktacular!) As each one comes out slightly different, they are quite addictive to fold, too.
Origami Newspaper Hat
This is a well-known and simple origami model, fun to make with kids because they can enjoy wearing the finished object! And there is nothing to stop you sticking down the flaps, painting the hat and adding all sorts of embellishments, so you can use this model for dressing up projects too.
Origami Olympic Rings
Have some fun with this clever origami Olympic rings craft for kids - with help even the youngest children will be able to do it!
Origami Owl
This is a more complicated origami owl model, suitable for older children and folders with a little experience. The owl has a realistic, 3D head. The model starts with the traditional origami bird base.
Origami Packet
This origami packet is very quick to fold and is just big enough to hold 2 or 3 sweets or chocolates.
Origami Packets Advent Calendar
This origami advent calendar is made by folding 24 little origami cones, flattening them, and tying them closed with a ribbon.
Origami Panda
A piece of black origami paper and a little patience turns out this cute little panda - perfect in all sorts of craft projects!
The folds for this model are relatively simple but there are quite a lot of them. Not for absolute beginners!
Origami Photo Frame
This little photo frame folds up in a flash and is a cute way to display a small photo (or give one as a gift).
Origami Pilgrim's Bonnet
Here is a fun little origami project for girl's to make this Thanksgiving, the perfect size for a doll. Or perhaps you could try making it out of a very large piece of paper for your child to wear!
Origami Sailing Boat
A quick and easy model for beginners, the sailing boats have their own built-in stand so that you can make a display - and create your own flotilla!
Origami Samurai Helmet
The Samurai helmet is a traditional Japanese origami model which has been folded for many hundreds of years. As a symbol of strength and honour, it is often made for little boy's to wear on Children's Day (Boy's Day) in Japan on 5th May.
Origami Shamrock
This origami shamrock can be made with 3 or 4 leaves so can double up as a four-leaf clover for good luck!
Origami Shirt
This origami shirt is a little tricky to fold, but it's worth persevering because it looks great. You could make it with plain paper and add your own decorations, or find a nice stripe or check for a different effect.
Origami Star
This is a very simple origami star which even the youngest children can make. As you will need three squares of paper and a glue stick to complete the model, it isn't origami in the true sense! Make 24 origami stars for a lovely homemade origami advent calendar!
Origami Tulip
These pretty tulips are perfect for Mother's Day cards, Spring decorations, or just to cheer you up! The flower is relatively easy but the stem is stiff to fold and may not be suitable for younger children.
Origami Wallet
This origami wallet or folder is easy to fold and very versatile. Made with a traditional size of origami 6x6 inch paper the wallet comes out quite small: you can see ours below, filled with little "promise notes" to make a special gift for Dad
Origami Witch's Hat
This spooky witch's hat is a little tricky to make - although to simplify the model we have suggested using a pair of scissors (which is, strictly speaking, cheating!)
Ornaments Shapes and Colour Worksheet
Print and use in the classroom or home, as a worksheet (can your child recognise the shapes and colours of the Christmas ornaments?) or perhaps as a Christmas template.
Ostrich Colouring Page
Here's an ostrich colouring page to print and enjoy, with word underneath the picture for younger children.
