Let’s express autumn with torn-paper collage! Torn-paper collage is not only easy to make, but also a great craft for stimulating the brain by using your fingertips.

Prepare a base sheet with a tree trunk drawn or pasted on it, and freely create autumn foliage by tearing origami paper in fall colors and pasting the pieces.

You can also use color pages from newspapers instead of origami to give it a stylish finish.

No two works will ever be the same.

How about decorating the wall with these unique pieces and enjoying a little exhibition together?

Let’s use wet-on-wet painting to make cute mushrooms for the autumn season.

We’ll start with the stem.

Apply glue all over a sheet of origami paper and attach it to a toilet paper roll.

Fold and glue the excess at the top and bottom inward.

Next, use a coffee filter to make the cap.

Draw patterns on the coffee filter with water-based markers, then mist it with water.

Once it’s dry, firmly glue the stem and cap together.

Your mushroom is complete! Be sure to spray enough water so the ink bleeds nicely.

Prepare several colors of water-based markers and let the children choose their favorites.

These maple and ginkgo origami crafts are perfect for autumn projects with two-year-olds.

Let the children enjoy the sensation of tearing origami paper as they make the maple leaves.

Just glue the torn pieces together into the shape of a maple leaf! For the ginkgo, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice and add a branch to finish.

The goal is to get children familiar with origami, so folding perfectly isn’t important! Both activities are designed so that two-year-olds eager to try new things can have fun and stay engaged.

Depending on the children’s ages, the teacher should prepare the cutouts in advance.

Next, glue cotton balls in your favorite colors onto the cap, using as many as you like and arranging them however you prefer.

Finally, combine the cap with the paper stem, and you’re done! Mix and match different colored cotton balls to make it even more vibrant.

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.
