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.

Easy and cute pampas grass origami method

How to Make Autumn Origami: Easy and Cute Silver Grass Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Silver Grass – Easy
Easy and cute pampas grass origami method

The Japanese pampas grass that signals the arrival of autumn in Japan has a deep charm, doesn’t it? Let’s try making pampas grass with origami.

First, cut your origami paper into a quarter-sized rectangle, fold it in half twice to make a long, narrow shape, then fold it in half once more.

Open it back up to the state where it has been folded in half once from the original.

Along that center crease you just made, use scissors to cut a slit up to the middle.

Fold it in half again, and then, starting from the slitted section, offset each layer sideways as you fold them one by one.

Finally, adjust the shape so the white and colored sections alternate when viewed, and you’re done.

Please use this as a guide and display it next to your moon-viewing dumplings!

Easy maple leaf origami instructions

We’ll show you how to fold a simple, irresistibly touchable, cute maple leaf.

Start by folding into a triangle and creasing, then fold both sides of the paper toward the center line to form the base of the maple leaf.

The key is to tuck the paper in so that it puffs up slightly.

As you fold, match the height of the maple leaf’s lobes, keeping the left-right balance in mind.

Since some parts will get thicker as layers overlap, fold those sections slowly and carefully.

You might also enjoy gluing the finished maple leaves onto poster board to create a maple tree!

Let’s make an adorable squirrel using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet in half into a triangle and open it, then slightly fold the corners along the crease.

Flip it over and fold up the opposite corner as well.

Fold both side corners up toward the center.

Fold each of the two top corners inward toward the center to make the ears, and slightly fold the face and mouth areas inward to make them rounded—this completes the face.

Next, fold the second sheet in half into a triangle, open it, and fold both side corners inward to meet the center crease.

Fold the two bottom corners toward the center too.

Fold the whole piece in half, offset slightly, then tuck in the bottom corners to round the shape—this completes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the squirrel’s face, and you’re done!
