Autumn is the season for outings, isn’t it? And when it comes to outing season, you can’t forget a packed lunch.

So let’s try making a bento that you can create just by crumpling up origami paper.

For the bento box, use any empty box or can you like.

Then pack it with cabbage, fried chicken, pickled plums, rice, and more—all made by crumpling the paper.

Using your imagination to make your favorite side dishes sounds like a lot of fun.

You could easily make things like hamburger steaks or rolled omelets, too.

Red Dragonfly Decalcomania

[Autumn Wall Decoration Idea] Let’s make it with kids! Red dragonfly decalcomania 🍄 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #AspiringNurseryTeacher #NurseryTeacherLife #Crafts #WithKids #WallDecor #ConstructionPaper

Here’s a dragonfly craft idea using paint.

Fold a sheet of drawing paper in half to make a crease.

Open it up, and on one side, imagine a dotted pattern and dab small amounts of different colors of paint.

Close the paper and press firmly so the paint spreads.

Be careful not to place the paint too close to the edge, or it will squish out at this step.

Cut the paper into dragonfly wing shapes with scissors and open it up.

Finally, attach the dragonfly’s body and eye pieces to finish.

The paint has spread beautifully to create lovely patterned wings.

A crown of fallen leaves

Attach the various fallen leaves you collected—big and small, in different shapes—to the crown to finish.

Staple it to fit the child’s head size.

If you have leftover leaves, it might be fun to play by turning them into leaf stamps, too.
