Handwritten Halloween
We’d like to introduce an idea called “Handwritten Halloween,” where you create your own calendar by freely drawing frames, dates, and illustrations on construction paper.
By colorfully depicting autumn-themed motifs like jack-o’-lanterns and witch hats, you can produce a piece with a warm, inviting feel.
Careful tasks—such as spacing between the frame and dates or aligning vertical and horizontal rows—also help support finger dexterity, cognitive function, and concentration.
It’s an easy, enjoyable activity for older adults as well; feel the autumn season and make your calendar with care.
Grapes made with an origami heart
We’d like to introduce a calendar made with heart-shaped grape origami.
Autumn brings many harvests and everything tastes especially delicious, doesn’t it? It’s said that the peak shipping season for grapes generally starts around September.
A grape-themed calendar, one of the flavors of autumn, would help older adults feel the seasonal atmosphere.
Since the grapes are made from origami folded into heart shapes, some seniors might enjoy the cute style.
When making the grape vines, try wrapping vine-colored origami around a toothpick.
Add leaves and attach them to the grapes to create a piece that looks like real grapes.
Matsutake mushroom origami
Speaking of November, it’s the season when matsutake mushrooms are especially delicious.
Matsutake are said to be in season from September to November.
This time, I’ll introduce how to make a matsutake out of origami.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle twice, and make diagonal creases as you go.
Finally, shape the cap of the matsutake, and you’re done.
The key is to make firm creases and fold so the shape stays even.
It would also be lovely to draw mountains and autumn delicacies on a calendar and paste on your origami matsutake.
You might enjoy changing the color of the origami to create your own original matsutake for a November calendar.

Persimmon: pen drawing and colored pencils
Persimmons are sold in supermarkets and are a seasonal fruit that taste great in November.
Here’s a simple, fun persimmon illustration that fits perfectly on a November calendar.
Let’s draw a persimmon with a ballpoint pen.
Create the shape to your liking—round or slightly square.
After drawing the shape, add the calyx and start coloring.
By layering colors like orange and yellow, you can create a three-dimensional, glossy persimmon.
There are several varieties of persimmons, so talking about which type you’re drawing as you go can make the conversation even more engaging.
Persimmon Origami
November is when persimmons are most widely in season.
When persimmons start lining the shelves at supermarkets, many people feel the transition from autumn to winter.
So how about using persimmons as the motif for a November calendar? Painting them with paints or expressing them with torn-paper collage would be lovely.
If you want a bit of three-dimensionality, you could make them with origami.
Here’s an idea that uses two sheets of origami paper to create the fruit and the calyx, then glue them together.
The steps are simple, so feel free to use this as a reference.
Roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes
Here are some ideas for a “Roasted Sweet Potato and Sweet Potato” craft that captures the joy of autumn flavors.
Make a sweet potato with purple origami, and insert yellow origami inside to create the look of a freshly split roasted sweet potato.
By getting creative with how you show the cross-section, you can spark the imagination, and the hands-on work also helps with fine motor skills.
You can add autumn touches, like a backdrop of colorful leaves, for extra seasonal charm.
It’s a warm, cozy calendar craft that’s fun to make, lovely to display, and looks delicious.
Brush pen drawing: Autumn leaves
Here’s a maple-leaf illustration perfect for autumn foliage, drawn with a brush pen.
It’s best to prepare several colors of brush pens rather than just one.
When drawing the leaves, keep an eye on the shape so the size is balanced left and right.
Adding motion in the direction of the leaves’ strokes gives the picture depth, which can make it even more enjoyable if you turn it into a calendar to display.
It’s also a great idea to draw autumn fruits alongside the leaves.
Try making your very own original calendar!
