Bagworms spin small twigs and leaves together with silk to make their homes.

Some children use a lovely expression, saying the case looks like “clothes for the bagworm.” This bagworm craft is made using a sheet of origami cut in half.

The folding steps are simple, and the key point is to use your fingers carefully to make crisp creases.

Once it’s finished, it’s also fun to draw a face with a felt-tip pen or glue real leaves onto the case to turn it into your own original bagworm.

Speaking of autumn, it’s all about Halloween, right? Dressing up and playing pretend as a witch by chanting spells with a cute magic wand sounds fun, too.

You can make this wand from a single sheet of origami paper.

By rolling it into a triangle and folding as you go, you’ll create a striped-pattern wand.

If you glue it together while you work, it will be sturdier and less likely to lose its shape once finished.

Decorating it with washi tape or a larger bell will make it even cuter!

When you go out for an autumn walk, you often see grasshoppers energetically hopping through the grass, don’t you? I imagine many children love chasing and catching them.

With this grasshopper origami, the key point is crafting the wing section to look cool.

By making crisp creases, the wings will stand up and look just like the real thing.

Once you’re done, it’s fun to color it with crayons and make grass and flowers out of origami or construction paper, then let your grasshopper play among them.

persimmon

Persimmons turn orange in the fall and are known for their sweet, sticky deliciousness.

They’re also rich in vitamin C, making them a fruit that helps ward off colds.

With this origami persimmon, the key is folding up the corners to create the persimmon shape.

Once you fold the leaf at the end, you’ll have a tasty-looking orange persimmon.

Coloring the leaf with a marker makes it look more realistic.

When folding the persimmon origami, asking persimmon-themed quiz questions and chatting with the kids can help deepen their knowledge about persimmons.

Speaking of autumn, Halloween comes to mind, doesn’t it? In this origami craft, we’ll show you how to fold a Halloween witch’s pointy hat.

The key points are the straight, pointed tip of the triangular hat and the brim.

Folding the brim gives it that classic pointy-hat look and really enhances the Halloween feel.

Using purple or black paper will make it look more like a witch’s hat and might make it even more fun.

An origami pointy hat is a great item to boost the Halloween atmosphere.

A pumpkin that breaks after five folds

[Halloween Origami] Super Easy! How to Fold a Pumpkin in 5 Steps
A pumpkin that breaks after five folds

Here’s a pumpkin folding method that 2-year-olds can enjoy.

It’s a very simple craft that’s finished by folding the edges of the origami paper five times.

At the end, you draw the pumpkin’s face with a pen, so kids can enjoy both origami and drawing.

However, because there are so few folds, it can tear or wrinkle easily and might not be suitable for long-term keeping, so I recommend using slightly thicker origami paper.

If thicker paper is hard to fold, you can protect the finished piece with OPP tape or by laminating it!

In conclusion

Autumn origami is a valuable opportunity for children to feel the changing seasons.

While considering the finger development of two-year-olds, let’s share the joy of origami through simple folding activities.

Rather than focusing on perfect folds, we hope they can simply enjoy the time spent touching and exploring origami.

Together with the children, try creating lovely origami pieces that express the nature of autumn.
