We do love a paper craft… paper is something that most people easily have to hand and with a snip here and a cut there (or just a fold and fold)… you can quickly and easily make ALL SORTS of fun paper toys and paper decorations.
Based on nature’s helicopter seeds these really are a marvel. Get the kids making the basic shape.. and then why not experiment and see how you can turn this simple DIY into a proper S.T.E.M. activity. Get the kids to come up with alterations and predict what will happen to their toy… then explore and experiment what really happens and see if you can figure out why! Super simple science for kids!
Yep.. that is REALLY it.. you can probably make these without scissors nor paper clips – with some simple tearing…. making this a super fun on the go little paper craft!
Step 1 – Cut out your strips of paper.
Step 2 – The image shows you the folds (dashed) and the parts to cut (sold it lines).
Fold roughly into 3 parts.
Step 3 – Bring the bottom 1/3 of the paper up and make a neat crease. You should now have a piece of paper that is 2/3 of the original size, with one side a double layer.
Step 4 – Cut 0.5cm snips on both sides of the top fold. Fold the double sheets of paper inwards along these snips – making a thicker base.
Step 5 – Cut approx. 5cm down the centre of the remaining top 1/3 of the original paper strip.
Step 6 – Fold down the created flaps into opposite directions to make the helicopter blades.
Step 7 – Decorate if you wish and add a paper clip for additional weight to the helicopter.
Experiment what happens with no paper clip, one paper clip and two paper clips… does your helicopter spinner better or faster?
I do hope you enjoyed the Paper Helicopter video. As mentioned previously.. do watch it RIGHT TO THE END to see the Helicopters fly, but also to hear about the extension ideas and how to turn this fun little Paper craft into a proper S.T.E.A.M. activity and really get the kids THINKING and EXPLORING!
Enjoy!!!!

Welcome back to another easy origami for kids! Today we share this super cute and easy origami animal designs – the oh so VERY cute stand up Origami Cat. We have made a simple origami cat before (which of course we still love), but this time we have gone a step cuter with this simple stand up version! I love this little kitty, as it is still easy but a nice “next” origami project for kids who are getting confident with basic folding techniques, the head is very similar to that of the previous cat (just a couple of tweaks) and there is the easiest of bodies to go with it too. And you don’t even need any glue to hold this together.
It really IS best to get origami paper for this cat, as origami paper is usually coloured or patterned on one side and white on the other. The white part is perfect for the cat’s mouth! We love using this origami paper:

I feel videos really are the BEST way to show origami patterns – especially origami for beginners! I hope you like it! (and don’t forget to subscribe to her youtube channel too!!).
Aren’t they adorable? I really do think yu should have a go! Such a simple and super cute little cat DIY for cat lovers!
