grapes
The three-dimensional hanging grape decoration is perfect for room decor and displays.
As preparation, the teacher should cut purple and yellow-green origami paper, which will become the grapes, into 10×2 cm strips.
Cut the brown origami paper for the vine into 15×1 cm strips.
Have the children make the grape clusters.
Apply glue to the end of the purple or yellow-green strip and form it into a ring.
Connect the rings in a chain.
Make several chains consisting of about 4 to 6 rings each, and thread them onto the brown strip.
After gluing the tip of the brown strip to secure it, thread a string through and hang the cluster.
flapping bat
https://www.tiktok.com/@tomonite_official/video/7426632371719490836Kids might get excited seeing a bat that looks like it’s really flying.
Cut a black sheet of origami paper in half and start folding.
The key is to wrap the paper around your finger, spread the wings, and gently squash only the center.
Pinch and move it while pressing the center, and you’ll have a bat that looks just like the real thing.
Adding eyes with round stickers could be cute, too.
Once it’s finished, try flapping the bat’s wings and playing in a spacious area.

Persimmons are nutritious and recommended for preventing colds to get through the cold winter.
This origami is very simple to make and fun even for three-year-olds.
Fold it into a triangle twice, then shape it into a diamond, and firmly fold the corners to create the persimmon’s round shape.
Attach a calyx made from construction paper, and it’s done.
Draw faces with colored pens or add round stickers to make a delicious-looking persimmon.
It might also be cute to arrange the persimmons you made on an autumn-themed wall display or a wreath.
ghost
Speaking of autumn, there’s Halloween, right? This origami project is a Halloween-themed ghost.
The key is to make crisp creases as you fold the hands and body sections.
It’s recommended to use origami paper in any color you like.
You can also fold the hands upward to give it a sense of motion.
Decorate an autumn wall display with them or use them in an original puppet show—enjoy playing together with ghost origami!
mushroom
Origami mushrooms look cute and are popular with kids, aren’t they? You can easily make one with a single sheet of origami paper, so give it a try.
The key points are the pleat folds between the cap and the stem, and the sections where you’ll do inside reverse folds.
Finally, fold the corners to round them off, and you’re done.
Adding round stickers for spots or drawing a face with colored pens will make it even cuter.
Be sure to try making one!
chestnut
We’d like to introduce an easy origami chestnut—a favorite autumn treat—that even small children can fold.
The steps are simple, and the key point is to make clear creases and fold the spiky burr part of the chestnut.
Fold the paper up from the bottom, and carefully shape the edges to create the chestnut’s rounded form.
Once it’s finished, you can add round stickers for eyes and draw a mouth and cheeks with colored pens to make your own original chestnut.
Choosing origami paper in your child’s favorite colors might make the crafting even more fun.

sweet potato
When autumn comes, it starts to feel like the perfect season for roasted sweet potatoes, doesn’t it? If you make this roasted sweet potato craft, it’s likely to spark the kids’ interest too.
The folding method is very simple: fold toward the center, then the key is to fold each of the four corners into triangles.
Fold another sheet of origami the same way to serve as the inside, and for the outer skin, tear it in half by hand—then you’ve got a piping-hot looking sweet potato.
It’s also recommended to read a picture book or sing songs about roasted sweet potatoes first to build up the image before making it.
