Origami Mushroom

Did you know that mushrooms are not a plant? All plants use photosynthesis,which requires sunlight, to generate food. Mushrooms can live in dark places because they don't use photosynthesis.

Origami Fortune Teller or Chooser

Our origami fortune teller is quite popular, we get lots of requests from people who kind of know what it is but don't know the name.

In addition to our instructions, we've now posted a video on how to play this fun game.

Check out our video on how to use the origami fortune teller.

Origami Rat-----tatouille!

I'm not crazy about rats but Remy in Ratatouille was quite endearing. And kids seem to love him. So this one is for all the kids (and adults!) who love Remy and Ratatouille.

It doesn't require many folds and it's fairly easy. Kids may need help on the last step, which is a squash fold to make the ears but that is really an optional step.

Pop! goes the...

Origami Popper! Also called the Origami Banger, this is an action origami that I grew up with. You can make it with printer paper or even newspaper.

















The sound it makes can be surprisingly loud. If you teach your kids to make this, you must be prepared to hear popping sounds at any time of day! :)

Origami Polar Bear

Remember the polar bear in the coca-cola commercial? This origami polar bear reminds me of that. What do you think? An uncanny resemblance? :)

This is a cute and fairly easy origami polar bear. You will need to make a squash fold and an inside reverse fold, which are just fancy names for fairly common folds in origami.

Ladybug, Ladybird, ee-ther, i-ther!

let's call them lady beetles?! coz that's what they are!

Ladybugs/ladybirds are from the family of Coccinellidae, which is a family of beetles.

Americans call them ladybugs, British and Australians call them ladybirds and some pc scientists call them lady beetles. Now that we've the "ladies" settled, what do we call the men?!

Whatever you call them, you'll agree that this origami is cute. Do try it, it's not hard at all.

I used a 3" square paper instead of the regular 6" so that they're cute and tiny.

Po, the Kung Fu Origami Panda

We've uploaded an origami panda to the site. Kids are sure to love this one, especially if they've seen Kung Fu Panda, an excellent animated movie.

Po, an overweight and clumsy panda, works in his father's (who is a goose, by the way)noodle shop but dreams of being a kung fu master.
















The movie follows his journey as he stumbles his way into the kungfu world.

There are some really hilarious scenes and Jack Black was perfectly casted as the voice of Po. I loved this movie - the story, the message and the laugh out moments.

Made Origami Samurai Helmet

Had lots of fun making this origami samurai helmet. Too bad the origami paper was too small or I could have worn this helmet. If you use a larger piece of paper to start like a newspaper, a kid or an adult could wear this functional origami.

Easy Origami Sampan

I used to fold this origami sampan (boat) when I was a kid. I don't remember how or when I learned to fold.

All I remember is how much fun I had!
