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

Grapes made with original stickers

Draw swirling lines with a purple water-based marker on aluminum foil, then rub a sheet of round stickers over the drawing.

Once the marker color has transferred to the stickers, cut the base construction paper into the shape of a bunch of grapes.

Stick on the round stickers to represent the grapes, add a stem and leaves made from other pieces of construction paper, and you’re done.

You can use store-bought stickers as-is, but adding this extra step lets you create original stickers, which I highly recommend.

Using several shades from the same color family for the markers will give the colors more depth and character.

Be sure to use the stickers after the ink has dried.

Cute grapes like candy

Cut out the grape base, stem, and leaves from construction paper.

Place a crumpled piece of paper in the center of a square-cut piece of tissue paper, wrap it, and twist to make a candy shape.

Make several candies, glue them onto the base, then attach the stem and leaves.

Twist a chenille stem to make a vine and insert it, and your grapes are complete.

The result looks delicious both as grapes and as candy.

If you shift the color scheme toward Halloween, it could make a wall decoration that captures both the flavors of autumn and the festive event.

3D grapes made from toilet paper

Glue purple origami paper onto a toilet paper roll and cut it into 1 cm-wide rings.

On the base, arrange and glue them in four tiers of 4, 3, 2, and 1.

Paint the insides with purple paint.

Attach a stem and leaves cut from construction paper, and your grape cluster is complete.

When attaching the origami paper to the toilet paper roll, be sure to apply glue across the entire sheet so it adheres firmly.

If it’s not well attached, it may peel off when you cut it.

Grapes are typically purple, but it’s fine for children to paint them in whatever color they imagine grapes to be.

Super huge! Tissue paper grapes

kimie gangi Powerful “Super Giant Tissue-Paper Grapes” Autumn Wall Decoration #SeptemberWallDecor #OctoberWallDecor #Grapes #TissuePaper #Easy #Kindergarten #Nursery #Elderly #DIY

Here’s an idea that’s perfect when you want to make an impactful autumn wall display.

Stack several sheets of tissue paper and accordion fold them.

Once folded, tie the center with wire.

Gently pull apart the layers of tissue paper one by one from the inside; when all the layers are fluffed, shape it into a round form.

This makes one grape.

Make eight of these, then arrange them in four rows as 3, 2, 2, and 1.

Glue them onto the base, and add a stem made from construction paper and leaves made from tissue paper to finish.

When you display it on the wall, adding a vine is a nice touch too.

[Ages 2 and up] One-snip hedgehog with scissors

Let’s make an adorably prickly hedgehog using scissors.

Prepare construction paper, glue, and scissors.

It’s recommended that the teacher pre-cut the hedgehog’s spines/fur pieces and the face parts in advance.

Have the children work on the part where they make slits by cutting vertically into the spine pieces with scissors.

Start by practicing cutting straight vertical lines to help them learn how to use scissors.

Folding the cut spine pieces will add a three-dimensional look.

For the face, drawing with crayons or colored pens might result in hedgehogs with a variety of expressions.

[Ages 3 and up] Hedgehog Snip-Snip Craft

Using everyday paper plates to make hedgehogs is a great craft for 3-year-olds who are starting to enjoy expressing themselves.

Get paper plates, scissors, construction paper, and glue ready.

Prepare the hedgehog bodies in advance, and have the children make cuts around the edge of the paper plate, snipping from the outside toward the inside.

It’s also a good idea to draw guide lines so they can cut along them.

By drawing the hedgehog’s face themselves, each child can create their own original hedgehog.

Giving the hedgehogs names and using them in play can make the activity even more fun.

[Ages 1 and up] Easy Hedgehog with Fork and Sponge

Hedgehog Craft: Easy to Make Even for Infants Using a Fork or a Sponge

Let’s have fun making a hedgehog that squeaks “peep-peep,” using a fork and a sponge.

Prepare disposable plastic forks, sponges, a base sheet of construction paper, a hedgehog template, paints, and a palette.

Apply paint to the entire back side of the fork and press it onto the hedgehog template as you paint.

A rubbed, scratchy-looking texture helps create a more three-dimensional effect—this is a key point.

When dabbing paint with a sponge, the strength of the pressure you apply to the paper will change how the color appears.

This craft is perfect for one-year-old children who are exploring textures—give it a try!
