Let’s continue our origami adventure! Today, we’re going to learn how to make a cool origami cube. To get started, all you need is a square piece of paper and a little bit of patience. Let’s get started!

Fun Origami Cube Tutorial for Kids

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through each step with easy-to-follow instructions and helpful pictures. This tutorial is aimed at older kids who are familiar with origami, as younger kids might get frustrated with its multiple folds (although they could get help from an adult and complete it with no problem!)

By the end, you’ll have your very own colorful cube to show off to your friends and family!

Instructions:

Step 1:

Start with a square piece of paper with the white side up.

Step 2:

Fold it in half, then open it up.

Step 3:

Fold it in half in the other direction, then open it up again.

Step 4:

Fold the right side inward.

Step 5:

Fold the bottom part inward too, passing over the last fold.

Step 6:

Turn 90 degrees to the right and fold the bottom part inwards again.

Step 7:

Turn 90 degrees again, and fold the bottom part once more. You’ll have a square now!

Step 8:

Fold the bottom right corner to the center.

Step 9:

Unfold the last fold, and turn the piece over.

Step 10:

Fold in half to get a triangle shape, and crease.

Step 11:

Open the paper, with the white side up.

Step 12:

Fold in half but this time in the other direction.

Step 13:

Open.

Step 14:

Rotate the paper and fold it in half again, then open it.

Step 15:

Flip the paper over, and fold it in half.

Step 16:

Take the bottom corner and fold inwards to the first crease, almost reaching the top.

Step 17:

Open.

Step 18:

Now, let’s start forming the cube! Pinch the middle crease on the right side and hold it down with your other hand.

Step 19:

Carefully press it down, then open that last fold, take the middle flap and turn it to the left, and lastly “close” it by putting the outer layer back in its place.

Step 20:

Repeat on all the other sides by following the creases we just made.

Step 21:

For the last section and to close off the cube, make sure to insert the previous flap in between the remaining one. Doing so will keep the cube in its shape and place.

Voila! It’s time to admire your awesome origami cube! You can make lots of these cubes in different colors and sizes.
