[Ages 4 and up] Colorful and cute hedgehog

[Preschool Craft] Easy with construction paper! Cute hedgehog | Cute hedgehog on construction paper

Three-dimensional, colorful hedgehogs are a craft that even four-year-olds can enjoy making while exploring colors.

Sketch the shape of a hedgehog and cut along the traced lines.

Cut colored construction paper, fold it in half, and use glue to attach it to the body.

Incorporating the act of folding in half helps children become more aware of creating symmetrical folds.

Apply glue to one side of the halved paper and stick it onto the hedgehog.

You’ll end up with an adorable, colorful, three-dimensional hedgehog.

Swirly Grapes

[Craft] Twirling Grapes

When it comes to the king of autumn flavors, grapes surely take the crown.

Let’s make a seasonal craft by rolling construction paper.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, and glue.

Cut the construction paper into a teardrop shape to create the base for the grapes.

Cut long, thin strips of construction paper and roll them tightly with your fingertips to form grape shapes.

Glue the rolled “grapes” onto the base in a three-dimensional way, making sure there are no gaps.

Finally, cut and roll green construction paper to make the stem and cluster top, then glue it on to finish.

Try making it while paying attention to finger dexterity, size, and overall balance.

Apple

[Origami Easy Apple] Autumn Origami ④ How to make an origami apple.

Bright red apples make a cute motif, so you’ll definitely want to include them in your origami activities.

First, fold the paper in half into a triangle and unfold it.

Place it so the corners are at the top, bottom, left, and right, then fold the left and right corners toward the center.

At this point, don’t fold exactly to the center—fold them slightly past it.

Next, make a small downward fold on the top corner.

Then fold the bottom corner up in a large fold so it sticks out above the top.

Fold the part that sticks out diagonally, make small folds on the left and right corners to shape it, and you’re done!

Witch hat for Halloween

[Origami] Chestnut – Easy Tutorial, Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3; Child-Friendly Folding Method; Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.

First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.

Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.

Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.

Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.

If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.

Cute and easy! How to fold a persimmon (origami)

[Origami] Easy Persimmon Folding Method 🍊 Perfect for Autumn Wall Decorations!

The king of nutrient-packed fruits, the persimmon, makes for origami that feels seasonal and is perfect for autumn crafts.

Prepare orange and green origami paper and let’s start folding.

On the orange paper, make creases and fold the corners toward the center.

Fold further toward the center to create the base of the persimmon.

For the last section, fold it up toward the top edge to give the persimmon a three-dimensional shape.

For the leaf part, fold it first, then make small cuts at the edges—be careful not to cut too far.

It could also be fun to turn all the persimmons everyone folded into a persimmon tree display on the wall to make it together with the children.

Two ways to fold an acorn

[Origami] Easy Acorn Craft Tutorial

Even when we say “acorns” as a catch-all, there are many kinds—apparently more than 20 species native to Japan alone.

In this idea, we introduce two styles: a long acorn and a round acorn.

That said, the folding method is the same for both.

With the colored side of the origami facing up, fold down the top edge.

This part becomes the acorn’s cap, so make this section narrower for a long acorn and wider for a round acorn.

After folding the cap, flip the paper over and fold the left and right edges toward the center line.

A key point here is to align only the brown section with the center line.

You want the white section to suggest the cap’s flare, so fold it while slightly opening it outward and flattening it.

After that, just fold the top and bottom corners inward to refine the shape.

Adding patterns to the cap makes it extra cute.
