[Childcare] Simple fall origami ideas
Speaking of autumn, there are lots of events kids look forward to, like field trips, Halloween, and moon-viewing.
It’s also a comfortable season to spend time outside, so going for a walk to collect acorns and red and yellow leaves is lots of fun.
In this article, I’ll introduce origami ideas that are perfect for autumn.
I’ve gathered projects with simple steps that children can fold, so please give them a try.
You can string several finished pieces together to make a hanging decoration, or use the folded creations to make an autumn-themed wall display.

[Childcare] Simple Fall Origami Ideas (61–70)
Cute Halloween candy
After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.
Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.
Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.
Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.
If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.
Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.
Cute Halloween bat
Fold the paper into a triangle by matching the top and bottom corners.
Crease well, then open it.
This time, overlap the left and right corners slightly out of alignment and fold.
Fold up the base, leaving a little of the top corner of the triangle visible, then fold that remaining corner down—this will be the bat’s head.
Fold the paper in half along the vertical center line, and fold in the left and right sides of the head, aligning edges to edges, creasing as you go to shape the bat’s wings.
Once all the creases are made, open the paper and make wavy cuts along the lower part of the wings to finish.
Saury Origami
Fold the rectangular origami in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow, crease well, then unfold.
Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease, leaving a small gap.
Fold the two left corners to the center crease, unfold them, then invert the corners along those creases and squash into triangles.
Turn the paper over, fold the left triangular edge to the center crease to make it narrower, then fold the lower right corner up diagonally to meet the top edge.
Fold it back along the first crease you made.
This will be the fish’s tail, so fold the other side as well and adjust the shape.
Fold the origami along the center creases, draw eyes on the face with a pen, and you’re done.
Super easy! Fox face
This is a way to fold a fox face in just five folds.
First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.
Next, fold so that the two 45-degree corners meet, creating a crease.
Then, fold so that the 90-degree corner aligns with the point where the crease intersects the base.
Finally, fold each of the 45-degree corners upward, and you’re done.
Turn it face up and draw the fox’s face.
With no complicated steps and only a few folds, this is an easy origami project to try.
Origami of acorns and chestnuts
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.
