Insert a third parallelogram into the pocket of the second.Ħ.
Fold down the tips of the first parallelogram inside the pocket of the second.ĥ. Insert one parallelogram into the pocket of the first.Ĥ. Orient two parallelograms so the the "pocket" in which you see the interior color is on the right.ģ. You will now connect all 8 parallelograms.Ģ. The resulting shape will be a parallelogram.ġ. The creases you made in step 2 will collapse between the sides.ħ. Fold paper in half ( repeating step 1).Ħ. Open paper with colored side facing down.Ĥ. It is not strictly necessary but it makes the final fold easier.)ģ. ( Note: I like to also crease this same fold on the alternate side. With paper oriented vertically, and open side on the right, bring bottom left corner to right hand edge. Open and repeat fold so white side of paper is showing.Ģ. You can also see the technique in action in the video below.ġ.
#Cool origami ninja star how to
And isn't that what we all want in life? How to make transforming paper stars (Note: this post contains affiliate links.)īonus: the completed project looks so complicated that you can fool people into thinking you are an origami ninja. Alternatively, you can make them yourself and if your younger children are old enough that they won't rip the completed project, you can show them how to play with it. It's a good math art project when you have some one on one time with your older child. I'll be totally honest, it's not the easiest project for very little ones, but if your child can fold a paper airplane ( which is the perfect STEM play date, by the way!) then he or she can make the transforming ninja star.
This gem of a project combines math, art and paper engineering. Some of the other Ninja Stars require you to make “mirror versions” of the same fold, which I believe can be confusing for kids! So this is definitely the Easiest Paper Ninja Star pattern….We are in love with these origami transforming paper stars.
The key about THIS Easy Origami Ninja Star, is that you make the same pattern four times EXACTLY and in my opinion there is only ONE slightly trickier fold. I researched them all and picked the one that I felt was the easiest for kids to master. There are lots of Origami Ninja Star patterns out there. This ninja star required FOUR sheets of Square paper, we did ours in 2 colours and cut down one A4 sheet of paper to create two squares in each colour. I invited Adam from Pinkoddy to make these with me at the YouTube Space London and I think he did a fabulous job! We have LOTS of fabulously Easy Origami for Beginners, I would say these are for either older kids or slightly the next level up! They are still easy, but there is ONE tricky bit… so maybe a little adult support is required.
Right? So this Origami Ninja Star or Origami Shuriken as it is also known, is a fantastic Paper Craft for kids getting to grips with Origami Basics. Well, when it comes to crafts, I rather have TOO many crafts to share with you, than to few. then turned them into Ninja Star Fidget spinners (which went down a treat!!! Yay!) but never managed to share them with you “separately”… there is a slight disconnect between what we are making over on YouTube and sharing in on Red Ted Art! There is just SO MUCH to do and share. We actually made these easy Paper Ninja Stars back in April (whoopsy)….
