[Childcare] Autumn craft ideas

Three-dimensional grapes with just one sheet!

Origami construction paper wall decoration: “Grapes made easy!” Three-dimensional with a single sheet! Preschool craft / Elderly care recreation / DIY papercraft — Grape that can be made with one piece

Cut a sheet of construction paper into a rectangle and make two slits at each end.

On the left side, roll the middle section with slits toward the front and glue it, then roll the remaining sections toward the back and glue them.

On the right side, roll the middle section toward the back and glue it, then glue the remaining sections toward the front.

Fold the paper in half so the rolled parts form three rows, then cut along the fold with scissors to shape the stem.

Make leaves and vines out of origami paper and attach them to the grapes to finish! Try making them in various colors.

Super huge! Tissue paper grapes

kimie gangi Powerful “Super Giant Tissue-Paper Grapes” Autumn Wall Decoration #SeptemberWallDecor #OctoberWallDecor #Grapes #TissuePaper #Easy #Kindergarten #Nursery #Elderly #DIY

Here’s an idea that’s perfect when you want to make an impactful autumn wall display.

Stack several sheets of tissue paper and accordion fold them.

Once folded, tie the center with wire.

Gently pull apart the layers of tissue paper one by one from the inside; when all the layers are fluffed, shape it into a round form.

This makes one grape.

Make eight of these, then arrange them in four rows as 3, 2, 2, and 1.

Glue them onto the base, and add a stem made from construction paper and leaves made from tissue paper to finish.

When you display it on the wall, adding a vine is a nice touch too.

Hedgehogs for infants (ages 1 and up)

A hedgehog craft made by sticking pieces is perfect for one-year-olds who find complex tasks difficult, and it’s a great activity that lets them feel a sense of accomplishment from “I did it!” Prepare construction paper cut into parts for the hedgehog’s legs, body, and spines, along with glue and round stickers.

Have the children glue each part onto the body.

Repeating the sticking action is also recommended for promoting children’s fine motor development.

As the teacher encourages them by saying things like “You stuck it on so well,” the children accumulate small successes, build confidence, and this leads to meaningful growth.

[Ages 2 and up] One-snip hedgehog with scissors

Let’s make an adorably prickly hedgehog using scissors.

Prepare construction paper, glue, and scissors.

It’s recommended that the teacher pre-cut the hedgehog’s spines/fur pieces and the face parts in advance.

Have the children work on the part where they make slits by cutting vertically into the spine pieces with scissors.

Start by practicing cutting straight vertical lines to help them learn how to use scissors.

Folding the cut spine pieces will add a three-dimensional look.

For the face, drawing with crayons or colored pens might result in hedgehogs with a variety of expressions.

[Ages 3 and up] Hedgehog Snip-Snip Craft

Using everyday paper plates to make hedgehogs is a great craft for 3-year-olds who are starting to enjoy expressing themselves.

Get paper plates, scissors, construction paper, and glue ready.

Prepare the hedgehog bodies in advance, and have the children make cuts around the edge of the paper plate, snipping from the outside toward the inside.

It’s also a good idea to draw guide lines so they can cut along them.

By drawing the hedgehog’s face themselves, each child can create their own original hedgehog.

Giving the hedgehogs names and using them in play can make the activity even more fun.

[Ages 3 and up] Masking Tape Hedgehog

This is a recommended craft for children aged one and up that lets them have fun creating hedgehog patterns.

Prepare a hedgehog shape made from masking tape, scissors, and construction paper, and get started.

Stick on half-circle pieces of construction paper and strips of masking tape to create an original pattern on the hedgehog.

The sticking process—pinching small scraps with fingertips, peeling, and enjoying the sound of sticking—provides plenty of beneficial developmental stimulation.

Be mindful of choking hazards and adjust the size of the pieces to be larger as you make them.

[Ages 3 and up] Hedgehog made with yarn

Creating hedgehogs with yarn is a craft that captures the gentle feeling of autumn.

Prepare yarn, a hedgehog base, and glue, and let’s get started.

Tasks like sticking on cut pieces of yarn or wrapping yarn help naturally develop thinking skills, such as controlling the tension while wrapping and deciding where to place the yarn when gluing.

Threading yarn through holes makes it easier to experience a sense of accomplishment.

If you prepare a generous variety of yarn types and colors in advance, the added fun of choosing boosts motivation and turns it into an enjoyable crafting activity.
