Craft ideas for 4-year-olds to try in autumn! Enjoy creative activities with seasonal motifs and events.

[Sponge] Autumn Sky Craft

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Easy tearing craft! September autumn sky: a painting/craft of an aerial stroll among mackerel clouds

This is a craft project to create an autumn sky with mackerel clouds using a sponge and thin calligraphy paper.

Prepare an orange sheet of construction paper, then use a sponge soaked with paints such as orange and white to dab on curved patterns.

Because “autumn sky” might be hard for children to imagine, it’s recommended to show photos or have teachers demonstrate an example.

Once the paint is completely dry, tear the thin paper and paste the pieces on as mackerel clouds to complete the autumn sky! Try arranging it further by adding origami airplanes or portraits of children looking up at the sky.

Sparkly-Eyed Owl

[Kindergarten/Daycare] October: Bright-Eyed Owls in the Dark – Art and Craft Activity

Here’s a craft idea for making “Bright-Eyed Owls” using aluminum cups.

Prepare by pre-cutting the owl’s small parts.

Have the children cut out an owl, a moon, and circles from construction paper.

Then cut each circle in half to make the wings.

Glue the aluminum cups onto the pre-cut owl to form the eyes, and attach all the pre-cut parts to complete the owl.

Prepare a background sheet and glue on the moon and the owl to create a nighttime scene.

When you shine a light on it, the eyes sparkle like those of a real owl you might see at night—it’s really fun!

Grape picking in the room

Autumn craft 🍇 Grape picking at home 🍇 #SeptemberCraft #OctoberCraft #Handmade #HomeTime #NurseryTeacher #Grapes #Craft #Artwork

Let’s make grapes—an autumn treat—using chain links, a classic birthday decoration.

The method is the same as for chain garlands.

Cut paper into long strips, form them into rings, and link them together to create the fruit.

First, connect about four rings horizontally, then add vertical chains hanging down beneath them—use this image as a guide while you build.

Once the cluster is done, attach a stem and connect leaves with pipe cleaners to finish.

If you draw guide lines on construction paper, even 4-year-olds can try cutting the long strips themselves.

When you’re finished, be sure to display it on your room’s wall!

Mushroom chopstick rest

Origami chopstick rest ~ September mushroom ~ [How to ORIGAMI] mushroom

Make your mushroom-themed table even more festive! Here are some ideas for mushroom chopstick rests.

All you need is 9-cm square origami paper.

Fold the 9-cm squares into mushroom shapes and display them on the table as chopstick rests.

Just having handmade mushroom chopstick rests can make mealtime more fun! Since you’ll be using small 9-cm origami paper, it’s best to work together with a parent or teacher.

Until you get used to the folding steps, we recommend starting with 15-cm square origami paper.

Mushroom House

Someone is coming out of the window! Here’s an idea for a mushroom house.

What you’ll need: polka-dot origami paper, pale orange or light brown origami paper, half-size cut origami sheets, your favorite animals or people made from origami, and glue.

Use the polka-dot paper to make the mushroom roof, and finish it off in the shape of a cute house with the pale orange or light brown paper.

If you decorate it with small animals or figures, it will open up a storybook-like world.

Cutting and pasting origami will be a great opportunity to nurture creativity!

dragonfly glasses

I'll teach you strategies for children who struggle with crafts! September craft book: Dragonfly Glasses [For 3- and 4-year-olds] [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

This is a craft where you make a dragonfly by crossing stick-shaped parts! For each dragonfly, cut construction paper to make one body piece, two wing pieces, and two round eye pieces.

Cross the wing pieces to form an X and glue them together at the center, then glue the body piece over the center to cover it.

If you score a fold line at the halfway point of each piece, it makes it easier to see where they should cross.

Finally, glue everything onto a backing sheet, attach the eye pieces, and draw the wing patterns, eyes, and background to finish! To help avoid confusion about where to place the dragonfly or how to assemble the parts, it’s a good idea to demonstrate with a sample as you go.
