Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Autumn is full of fun events for children, like Halloween, sports days, and field trips.

In this article, we’ll introduce craft ideas that are perfect for the autumn season.

Since autumn is a comfortable time of year, there are also plenty of chances to go for walks and collect acorns and fallen leaves.

We’ve included ideas that use natural materials like these as well.

You’ll also find ideas for crafts and wall decorations that can be used for events, so be sure to try making a variety of them.

Because the children’s creations are regarded as works (artworks), we refer to them as “sei-saku” (制作) in the text.

Grapes stamp with a paper core featuring beautiful bleeding-style painting

Cut a toilet paper roll core in half, dip the cut edge in paint, and stamp to create the base with grape berries.

Next, use a wet brush to trace the edges of the berries you drew, then spread the paint inward to fill each berry.

Paint the stem with paint, and for the leaves, apply paint to real leaves and stamp them.

Once the paint is dry, cut the base into the shape of a bunch of grapes to finish.

If you use several colors for the initial berry paint, it will create a beautiful gradient when you spread it.

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.

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.

Perfect for autumn! Let’s make grapes using bubble wrap 🍇 Preschool craft | For childcare workers | Easy craft to do with kids | Bubble wrap | Construction paper | Grapes | Autumn crafts
♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s a craft idea for making grapes using bubble wrap.

Stick bubble wrap onto light purple construction paper and cut it into a grape shape.

Attach a stem made from brown construction paper, then use a permanent marker to color in each round bubble one by one.

There are many, so it can be a bit of work, but keep at it patiently.

Once you’re done coloring, your grapes are complete! Display them in your room to enjoy an autumn vibe.

When you’re finished using them as decorations, it could be fun to pop the bubble wrap and play with it.
