A ghost with a hat
This palm-sized ghost is super cute, and you can make it with just one sheet of origami.
Fold the paper into a triangle to create the ghost’s body.
The size of the body will determine the ghost’s shape, so that’s an important point.
Once you draw the face with a felt-tip pen, it’s complete.
Using not just one color but various colors of origami for the ghost’s hat will make it even cuter.
The finished origami is great as a Halloween gift or as a wall decoration.
persimmon
There are lots of delicious fruits that are in season in autumn.
Persimmons, with their beautiful orange color, are one of the season’s signature fruits—let’s make a persimmon using orange origami paper.
First, fold the origami paper in half, then in half again.
In the resulting quarter section, paste a piece of green origami paper cut to the same size.
As you continue folding, that green area will become the leaves on the persimmon’s calyx.
Finally, glue down the folded leaf part, and you’re done.
It would be fun for everyone to make them together and create a persimmon tree as a wall decoration.
three-dimensional persimmon
Ripe and delicious-looking! Perfect for the season of autumn harvest! Here’s an idea for making 3D persimmons.
What you’ll need: orange origami paper, green origami paper, string, scissors, craft glue, and chopsticks.
There are some detailed steps, but by imagining the finished piece as you work, you can nurture creativity and concentration.
Once finished, hang the persimmons in your room with string—they look plump and adorable! Also, changing the shade of orange gives each persimmon its own personality, so that’s highly recommended.
Give it a try!
chrysanthemum
Three-dimensional and beautiful! Here’s a chrysanthemum craft idea.
You’ll need two sheets of origami paper in your favorite colors, a toothpick, and craft glue.
To make it, cut the paper into 1 cm strips, then glue them together with craft glue.
Next, use a toothpick to gently curl the strips to create a three-dimensional finish, and you’re done.
Rounding the tips of the petals gives a soft and gentle look.
It’s also great to use gradient or traditional Japanese-patterned origami.
Be sure to try it with your favorite origami paper.
fallen leaves
Let’s make colorful fallen leaves! Here are some ideas for crafting leaves.
All you need is origami paper in colors like red, yellow, and brown.
The method is simple, with only a few steps—that’s the key point.
It would be lovely to decorate the room with origami leaves before or after activities themed around fallen leaves.
You can also combine this with crafts featuring autumn plants and animals.
Try making them while enjoying conversations with imaginative children.
Changing the size of the origami to make small leaves will add variety and make it even more fun.
sweet potato
The sweet potato origami sounds like it will be fun to make.
Using yam-colored paper to express the roundness of a sweet potato seems like it would be an exciting experience for the children.
Starting with basic folds and gradually shaping it should also help nurture their creativity.
If you display the finished pieces on the walls or in the hallway, the classroom will be filled with an autumn atmosphere.
Through sweet potatoes, enjoy origami together while feeling the flavors of fall and the joy of the harvest.

owl
Let’s fold a cute, fluffy-looking owl in origami, like one you might spot in an autumn forest.
Use the back side of the paper for the white area around the eyes, and the front color to show the owl’s pattern.
You can make it with a single-color sheet in your favorite hue, but using patterned origami paper will give you a uniquely charming owl with a different look.
For the eyes, try round stickers or draw them in with crayons, and decorate the belly with stickers or crayons too to complete your adorable owl!
