[Childcare] Simple fall origami ideas

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

Origami bat

October Origami — Bat

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then make a slit under the top corner, parallel to the base.

Make the slit from the side opposite the fold, being careful not to cut it off.

The upper triangular section you slit will become the bat’s head, and the lower part will be the wings.

Open the paper back into the large triangle, and fold the slit section toward the central crease to form the head shape.

Fold the same parts back to create the bat’s distinctive ears.

Use a zigzag (mountain–valley) fold for the junction between the head and body.

Finally, fold the remaining wings several times to add creases and give it a three-dimensional finish, and you’re done.

Also recommended for walls! Origami cosmos

[Easy Origami Cosmos] How to make it in 1 minute: Paper Craft, Autumn Wall Decorations (for nursery teachers and caregivers) How to Make a Cosmos Flower—Paper Craft Origami

Here’s an idea for making cosmos flowers with paper cutting.

Fold a piece of origami paper into a triangle three times to create crease lines, then unfold it back to the state of being folded once.

Fold the bottom edge on the right to line up with the leftmost crease, and fold the bottom edge on the left to line up with the center crease.

Fold the remaining right section along its crease, and fold again along the next remaining crease to stack the paper.

Draw petal lines and cut them out.

When you open it, you’ll have an 8-petal flower.

Slightly overlap the spaces between the petals by folding them, and place a yellow round sticker in the center.

Finally, curve the tips of the petals to give it a three-dimensional finish.

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

[Origami] Roasted Sweet Potato

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.
