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!

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.
