[Crafts for 3-Year-Olds] A Collection of Fun Ideas for Autumn! Let's Incorporate Seasonal Motifs

Rolling Acorn

Let me introduce a cute craft that can also be used as a wall decoration: “Rolling Acorn.” This project is made in two parts: the leaf and the acorn.

For the acorn, fold an acorn out of origami paper, then use a pen to draw the cap pattern and the face.

For the leaf, color it using a rolling art technique, draw a leaf shape on the back, and have the children tear along the lines.

Finally, glue the acorn onto the leaf to finish.

The impression of the leaf changes depending on the construction paper and paint colors, so let the children enjoy it with their own sense of color.

Grapes in bubble art

This is a grape craft made with bubble art.

Bubble art is a technique that uses bubbles created from a soap solution.

Mix detergent, water, and paint to make a colored soap solution, then blow through a straw to create bubbles.

Place the bubbles onto drawing paper to make patterns.

Once the bubbles dry, cut them out into grape shapes, and attach them to a grape backing sheet to finish.

Instead of a straw, you can also use a cut plastic bottle covered with cloth or netting as a substitute.

Grapes made by rolling up and dyeing

Here’s an introduction to making grapes dyed with paint.

First, make a grape-shaped base out of drawing paper.

Roll up some kitchen paper to look like individual grape berries, and stick them onto the base.

Then drip paint over them to add color, and finish by attaching the stem and leaves.

It’s best to thin the paint with plenty of water and prepare a few colors.

After rolling the kitchen paper, use glue to attach it to the base.

Try making some lovely grapes in soft, pastel colors!

acorn

Kimie Gangi: Easy and safe “How to make an acorn top (spinning top)” for elementary school Life Studies. #acorn #donguri #LifeStudies #2ndGrade #children’splay #elementaryschoolteacher

Why not make a homemade spinning top using acorns you’ve picked up at parks or campgrounds? It’s also a great opportunity for kids to get hands-on with natural materials.

The trick is to choose larger acorns, such as sawtooth oak (kunugi) acorns, for the top.

First, mark the center of the top of the acorn, then set it on a rubber doorstop or similar item to hold it steady.

While holding the acorn firmly, use a pushpin to make a hole.

If you want to widen the hole, you can use a screw hook.

Once the hole is made, insert a toothpick straight in, trim it to a suitable length, and you’re done! This method is simple and safe enough for elementary school children, so give it a try.

Acorn pouch

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Let’s Explore Autumn in October! Acorn Pouch Craft

As an activity to enjoy with children during the autumn season, making an “acorn pochette” is highly recommended.

First, cut an empty tissue box and paint it in your favorite colors.

Next, make acorns out of origami and use a craft punch to add your own original patterns.

Finally, thread a string through the tissue box to complete it! Through this craft, children can build concentration and feel a sense of accomplishment when they finish.

Plus, if you take the pochettes you made with the teacher to the park for an acorn hunt, the children will be able to fully enjoy the autumn nature!
