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.

A self-supporting mushroom

Let’s decorate your room with mushrooms you’ve made! Here’s an idea for mushrooms that can stand on their own.

All you need are origami papers in your favorite colors and patterns, plus glue or tape runner.

The step where you open the origami’s pocket and fold it is a bit tricky, but it’s an important point! Since these standing mushrooms can be placed anywhere, they’ll make your room look cute and lively.

Fold origami in colors and patterns you love and make mushrooms that match your space! It also sounds fun to decorate them with pens or stickers.

How about using an owl motif for an origami project that captures the feeling of autumn? First, fold the paper in half into a triangle and open it, then fold along the other diagonal to make creases.

Place it so that the corners are at the top, bottom, left, and right.

Fold the top corner down toward the center to about one-third of the way.

It helps if the teacher draws a guide mark.

Next, fold the bottom corner up so it meets the top corner.

Then fold the left and right corners in to align with the center line.

Slightly fold the bottom corner (the one you folded up) back down to form the owl’s beak.

After that, draw the face however you like.
