Ideas you can use for autumn wall decorations

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Autumn is full of charm—vividly colored nature, delicious fruits, moon-viewing, Halloween, and more.

How about bringing that autumn charm into your wall decorations and enjoying the season together with the children?

Here, we’ve gathered ideas for autumn wall displays perfect for nurseries and kindergartens.

We’re also introducing fun craft ideas that use child-friendly autumn motifs.

After enjoying autumn crafts with a variety of materials and unique techniques, display the works to decorate your room with an autumn feel.

Let’s all make the most of autumn together!

Cosmos flowers with toilet paper rolls and finger stamping

How about using toilet paper rolls and the children’s fingers as stamps to create cute cosmos flowers? First, make several cuts in a toilet paper roll and bend the cut sections outward.

Dip it in paint and stamp it onto drawing paper—cosmos petals will appear! Then use finger stamping to fill in the empty center, and your cosmos is complete.

Afterwards, use pens or crayons to draw the stem and leaves where you made the flower.

If the teacher makes the cuts in the toilet paper rolls beforehand, the activity will go more smoothly.

Chestnuts made with a toilet paper roll stamp

If you do stamping with a toilet paper roll core, you can create the spiky burr of a chestnut.

First, make evenly spaced, thin cuts about two-thirds of the way down the roll.

Spread the cut sections outward to form a stamp with a built-in handle.

Next, dip it in yellow paint and stamp onto drawing paper.

Layering orange or red looks beautiful, too.

Finally, paste a paper chestnut in the center—and you’re done! It’s recommended to draw a face on the chestnut for an extra cute finish.

Colorful Ghosts with Finger Painting

How about making colorful ghosts with finger painting? Finger painting is a technique where you paint using your fingers or hands.

This time, though, we’ll do it a bit differently: you’ll paint by touching the paint and paper through a food storage bag.

That way your hands won’t get messy.

Once you’ve roughly created a ghost silhouette, add eyes and a mouth at the end.

The impression changes depending on where you place them! For example, placing them close together can make it look like a full-body ghost, while spacing them farther apart can make it look like a close-up of the face.

Stylish mushrooms made with masking tape

Masking tape comes in all sorts of designs and patterns.

How about using that tape to make stylish mushrooms? On a sheet of white drawing paper, stick your favorite masking tapes randomly—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Once you’ve added as much as you like, cut the paper into the shape of a mushroom cap, then pair it with another piece of paper cut into the shape of the mushroom stem to complete the craft.

Each child will choose different tapes and arrangements, resulting in wonderfully original creations.

Depending on the children’s ages, teachers should handle any steps that involve using scissors.
