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

Origami of acorns and chestnuts

Origami “Acorn” [Preschool craft activity • classic • childcare origami]

After folding the origami into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top corner down to meet the center.

Fold the top edge down to align with the horizontal crease, then fold it down once more along the crease and fold the entire paper into a triangle.

This folded section will become the acorn’s cupule (cap).

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center, then slightly fold in the five corners to refine the shape.

Flip it back to the front, and you’ll have a cute acorn.

This idea works best with double-sided origami paper.

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

Origami bat

October Origami — Bat

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then make a slit under the top corner, parallel to the base.

Make the slit from the side opposite the fold, being careful not to cut it off.

The upper triangular section you slit will become the bat’s head, and the lower part will be the wings.

Open the paper back into the large triangle, and fold the slit section toward the central crease to form the head shape.

Fold the same parts back to create the bat’s distinctive ears.

Use a zigzag (mountain–valley) fold for the junction between the head and body.

Finally, fold the remaining wings several times to add creases and give it a three-dimensional finish, and you’re done.

Perfect for Halloween! Ghost origami

How to Make Autumn/Halloween Origami: Super Easy and Cute! Ghost Ideas for Kids — ghost origami

After folding the origami into a triangle, open it, then fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.

Rotate the paper so that the newly formed point is at the bottom, and open the two opposing corners along the crease outward into triangles.

Fold the upper left and right edges in to meet the crease, then fold the top point down to the base of the triangle.

Slightly tuck the two top corners inward, then fold the bottom corner up to the left diagonally.

Unfold to set the crease, then fold the left edge of the triangle beneath the crease in to meet the crease.

Finally, fold up along the crease, and your ghost is complete.
