Let’s fold a triangle-cut watermelon with origami paper!

Get a black and a green pen ready too,

so that we draw the rhine and seeds too.

 

1. Fold the bottom part up (a valley fold) so that

you can see a little part of the back (white) part.

It’s bothersome to take all the seeds out,

but some people like to eat watermelon,

playing to throw those seeds with their friends or family.

Some people say if you swallow the seed,

the watermelon grows from your bellybutton too!

Next, I’ll show you how to fold a comb-shaped cut watermelon.

I bet many people have the image of this way of cutting,

speaking of the watermelon.

It’s so delicious if we dig into a big piece of watermelon, isn’t it?

 

1. Fold it in half, facing the back side up.

If you use a red-colored sheet of origami paper and draw the rhine or seeds,

it will be like a real watermelon!

You can adjust the width of the skin when you fold it too!

 

Why don’t you play farmer’s market with your children,

folding other kinds of fruits too?  It must be fun.
