[Childcare] For 5-year-olds! Autumn craft ideas

Let’s make a ghost!

[Nursery Teacher / Origami] Let's Make Ghosts! [With 4- and 5-Year-Olds]

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal crease.

From there, make additional creases and squash-fold the left and right sides into boat shapes.

On one of the boats, squash only one corner into a square to create the ghost’s face.

The sides of the face will be the hands, and the remaining part becomes the bottom.

Use the creases on the hands to create indentations so they look three-dimensional—that’s the key.

Soften the head by folding the corners to make it round, and finish by folding the bottom part up at a diagonal.

Draw the face with stickers or a pen to complete it.

An easy way to fold fallen leaves (origami)

[Origami] Fallen Leaf – Easy Folding Method, 3D Crafting – Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3 – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.

Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.

From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.

When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.

Easy! Halloween Pumpkin

[Origami] Halloween Pumpkin [Easy, for ages 3 and up] (Halloween origami)

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.

Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.

Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.

How to fold a cute fox

[Origami] Fox - Easy, Cute, Autumn

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

Saury Origami

[Origami] Pacific Saury (Sanma) – Easy How-To | Autumn Origami | Kid-Friendly | Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Fold the rectangular origami in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow, crease well, then unfold.

Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease, leaving a small gap.

Fold the two left corners to the center crease, unfold them, then invert the corners along those creases and squash into triangles.

Turn the paper over, fold the left triangular edge to the center crease to make it narrower, then fold the lower right corner up diagonally to meet the top edge.

Fold it back along the first crease you made.

This will be the fish’s tail, so fold the other side as well and adjust the shape.

Fold the origami along the center creases, draw eyes on the face with a pen, and you’re done.
