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.
