Recommended for 2-year-olds! Introducing fall craft ideas and activities for September [Part 2]

The smeared moon and the footprint-shaped rabbit

This is a cute craft idea that uses a paper plate as the moon and children’s footprints as rabbits.

First, take the children’s footprints on black construction paper and draw the rabbits’ ears and faces.

After wiping their feet clean, have them make the moon using yellow paint.

Encourage them to spread the paint over the surface with their hands or fingers.

If you put the plate and paint in a sealable bag, you can keep things mess-free.

Once the moon is finished, glue it onto the background and add pampas grass and rice dumplings to complete the scene.

It’s also a great idea for an autumn wall decoration.

Grapes with stickers

When it comes to autumn fruits, grapes are a must, right? So, how about making grapes as an autumn craft? Beforehand, have an adult cut grape shapes and branches out of construction paper and glue them together.

Then let the children stick round stickers or circles cut from construction paper on top to complete the grapes.

The process of peeling and sticking the stickers helps train their fine motor skills.

Having a few types of stickers ready makes it fun for the children to choose, and it also creates a more vibrant finish if you use the crafts for wall decorations.

Three-dimensional grapes made with sticker pasting

This is a 3D grape craft made by sticking round-cut origami pieces onto a long, narrow strip of construction paper.

Put double-sided tape on the back of the cut-out origami circles, and have the children peel and stick them.

Once the origami pieces are attached, wrap the strip around a triangular piece of construction paper in a spiral.

Finally, add a pipe-cleaner stem and paper leaves to finish.

You can also use stickers instead of origami, of course.

Let the children choose their favorite patterns.

It’s a perfect idea for an autumn wall decoration.

A perfectly round owl made from a paper plate

Here’s a craft idea for making an owl using a paper plate and origami paper.

First, tear the origami paper into pieces of any size you like.

Let the children help with this step.

Next, prepare a paper plate, apply glue all over it, and stick on the torn pieces of origami paper.

Finally, attach the owl’s facial features and other parts, and it’s done! Adults can attach the parts, but you can also put double-sided tape on the back to make them like stickers so the children can stick them on themselves.

Punch a hole and thread a string through it, and it becomes a cute hanging decoration for autumn.

A cosmos field with bottle-cap stamping

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Three-Dimensional Dragonfly Artwork for a September Cosmos Field

It’s an idea where you use a plastic bottle as a stamp to make lots of cosmos flowers—let’s all stamp together and create a cosmos field! Cosmos have many petals and can be hard to depict, but turning them into stamps makes it easy to create lots of flowers, which is the recommended point.

Attach cardboard shaped like petals to the bottom of a plastic bottle, apply paint, and stamp away.

For the pistil in the center, paint a yellow circle afterward.

Rolling acorn with a marble run

Let’s make acorns you can create while playing by rolling marbles! First, cut brown construction paper into the shape of an acorn.

Next, roll marbles coated with paint across the paper.

If you place a tray or similar item under the paper, kids can work safely and comfortably.

Once patterns appear on the paper, cut out a cap shape and attach it to the acorn illustration.

Finally, use cut pipe cleaners to make arms and legs, draw a face, and you’re done! How about making some cute acorns that capture the feeling of autumn?

Explorer Glasses

Special glasses are a must for autumn explorations! Let’s make explorer glasses using toilet paper rolls.

First, the teacher should wrap and glue shoji paper around the toilet paper rolls in advance.

Next, place some paint on construction paper and roll the tubes over it.

If you thin the paint with a bit more water, the colors will go on beautifully.

After each child colors two rolls, let them dry and attach them together.

Decorate them with stickers to taste, add a ribbon so they can hang around the neck, and they’re done! Searching for leaves and nuts will become much more fun.
