Origami mushroom is a simple children's paper craft. Which can be offered for manufacturing to even older preschoolers. There are several options for assembly schemes. For folding, prepare colored paper that matches the color scheme of mushroom caps. You can take a brown, red, pink or orange leaf. The back side must be white to get a contrasting leg of the craft.
In the article, we will consider how to step by step fold the origami of a mushroom from paper, how to read the diagrams correctly. The folds of a square sheet of paper need to be done clearly and thoroughly ironed with your fingers or improvised tools, such as scissor rings or the side of a pencil. Also in the article, we will present a video of the fly agaric crafts, which shows how, after making the mushroom itself, it can be decorated.
How to use the scheme
In kindergartens, a manual labor class in the older group of origami mushrooms can be done according to the scheme. This is a table with several figures indicated by serial numbers. Each of them shows how to fold a square sheet of paper. Before the lesson, children need to explain the symbols of the scheme. So, the arrows show the direction of the paper fold, and the dashed lines indicate their location.
Mugs taken out separately increase the small image so that the necessary action is clearer. Before the lesson, the educator must do the work on the origami of the fungus on their own, in order to then show the children how to perform the work. When studying the origami technique with children for the first time, it is best to show actions slowly and step by step, so that the children have time to repeat the folds after the teacher.
Step-by-step instruction
Let's take a closer look at how to make a fungus using the origami technique from colored paper:
- Fold the square in half horizontally and vertically.
- Bend the upper quarter to the back.
- Repeat the folds of 1/4 of the sheet of paper to the left and right.
- Wrap a thin strip of paper up the dotted line.
- Bend the upper corners of the white part of the workpiece at right angles.
- Visually from the fold line, lower the line to the base and fold the paper in a straight line down.
- Insert a finger into the formed pockets and spread the workpiece in opposite directions.
The remaining numbers on the diagram show the formation of the shape of the origami mushroom by bending the corners of the cap and legs.
When several different sizes of crafts are made, you can decorate the blank with weed, paint a hat or let the children independently complete the picture as they wish.
Fly agaric
As mentioned earlier in the article, origami mushrooms can be of several types. Consider another interesting way to alternately perform folds of colored paper, the result of which is visible in the photo below.
To make it easier for the reader to complete the task, we provide a video with step-by-step instructions for assembling origami.
After making the crafts, the fly agaric is decorated with white circles. To make them the same, fold a strip of paper several times and circle a template with a simple pencil. Then they cut a lot of elements with scissors at once. Stick them with a glue stick. Bottom is interesting to stick weed. To do this, cut a strip of paper on one side with noodles.
