In autumn, when the heat eases and it becomes more comfortable, children grow even more in mind and body and become more dependable.
Four-year-olds may be starting to develop an awareness that they’ll soon be the oldest class.
Autumn also brings seasonal motifs and various events that children are surely looking forward to.
We’d love to incorporate these into craft ideas.
So this time, we’ve gathered craft ideas perfect for autumn.
We’re introducing ideas well-suited for four-year-olds, so please use them as a reference.

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.
Super huge! Tissue paper grapes
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 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.
Swirly Grapes
When it comes to the king of autumn flavors, grapes surely take the crown.
Let’s make a seasonal craft by rolling construction paper.
Prepare construction paper, scissors, and glue.
Cut the construction paper into a teardrop shape to create the base for the grapes.
Cut long, thin strips of construction paper and roll them tightly with your fingertips to form grape shapes.
Glue the rolled “grapes” onto the base in a three-dimensional way, making sure there are no gaps.
Finally, cut and roll green construction paper to make the stem and cluster top, then glue it on to finish.
Try making it while paying attention to finger dexterity, size, and overall balance.
Easy grapes—just put them in a plastic bag
Let’s make grapes by crumpling tissue paper—an activity kids can enjoy from around age one.
Prepare a clear plastic bag, tissue paper, and a pipe cleaner.
Shape the clear plastic bag into a triangle, then crumple the tissue paper into small balls to make grape berries.
Put the berries into the bag and twist the opening closed with the pipe cleaner.
Once your 3D grape cluster is done, add a leaf made from a handprint and create a wrinkled pattern on it to finish.
This is a craft that children around one year old, who love squeezing and crumpling, can enjoy.
Give it a try!
