In the spirit of Grogu hitting the red carpet this week, here's an amazing Yoda folded by Hugo Immanuel Yijia van der Molen, Age 10 from Yunnan, China - featured in Origami by Children 2026. Design by Fumiaki Kawahata. 💫💫💫

Started in 1978, Origami By Children provides an inspiration for children of all ages to explore their own creative potential as well as to enjoy the creativity of other children from around the world.

Every year children are invited to submit their best folded models; either their own creations or the designs of others. The finest of these are selected to become the Origami By Children exhibit for that year. The exhibit is available to travel in the continental US.

👏👏👏

Now on The Fold! Diagrams for the Eagle by Richard Ellison

"Feathered birds are a subgenre of origami that never fail to delight and amaze. I like to claim that this eagle is simple enough to fold from a kids’ menu before the food arrives — my favorite measurement of origami complexity." - Richard Ellison
