Here’s an idea for “fallen leaf origami” that lets you feel the deepening of autumn.

Accordion-fold red, brown, yellow, and other colored origami papers, then shape them into leaves to add a three-dimensional look.

Tearing the edges or intentionally missing small sections creates a natural, realistic texture.

Use several finished leaves to decorate a calendar, and the result will have a warm, autumnal feel—like fallen leaves piled on the ground.

The activity also promotes finger dexterity, making it perfect for crafts with older adults.
