Autumn trees with a stamp

[Nursery Teacher] Autumn Leaves and Christmas! Painting with Dabbers ✨ [Daycare/Kindergarten]

An autumn tree painted with a handmade tampo is a craft that lets children enjoy paint in a different way than usual.

The tampo itself is easy to make—even for small children—by simply attaching cotton and gauze to a small container like a plastic bottle.

The unique patterns and soft hues created by the cotton and gauze will spark children’s imaginations and keep them absorbed in the activity.

It’s a great idea for an autumn craft—simple and satisfying, since all you do is press it onto the paper.

Crafts may seem difficult, but this is a simple project that even very young children can do.

How about making some delicious-looking grapes that are perfect for autumn? The basic method is just to roll paper into balls.

Use thin, easy-to-handle tissue paper and roll it into small balls.

Put the rolled pieces into a clear bag, tie the opening, add a leaf and a vine, and it’s done.

It’s also fun to make a lot and decorate your room.

Tissue paper mushroom

Let’s make colorful and cute mushrooms using tissue paper! First, cut out a large mushroom stem (stipe) from construction paper.

Depending on the children’s ages, the teacher can prepare these in advance.

Next, have the children choose their favorite colors of tissue paper and crumple them into small balls.

Once they’ve made enough, place the balls on a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap them up while shaping them into a mushroom cap.

When it’s done, attach it to the construction paper stem to finish! If you like, draw a face on the stem for extra fun.

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.

A tree made of fallen leaves

October means autumn, and autumn means the season of falling leaves.

In this season when walks are especially fun, here’s a craft recommended for three-year-olds.

You’ll need a tree illustration drawn on construction paper, some fallen leaves, and glue.

Simply stick the leaves you collected during your walk onto any part of the tree illustration, and you’re done! It’s very simple, but this activity is great because children can enjoy their walk while interacting with natural autumn materials and create a tree they like.

For older kindergarteners, it might be fun to draw the tree illustration themselves.
