Here’s a September craft activity idea themed around grapes, a beloved taste of autumn.

Make stamps by wrapping pieces of cut bubble wrap around toilet paper rolls.

In advance, the teacher cuts construction paper into grape shapes, and the children can have fun creating patterns with the bubble-wrap stamps! They can also enjoy rolling the toilet paper rolls around and feeling the bubble wrap’s texture.

Once the grape clusters are finished, glue them onto construction paper to complete the artwork! Adding a little caterpillar to the layout might also delight the children.

Crafts may sound difficult, but this is an easy project that even very young children can do.

How about making some delicious-looking grapes, perfect for autumn? The basic method is simply to roll paper into balls.

Use thin, easy-to-handle tissue paper, and roll it into small balls.

Put the balls into a clear bag, tie the top, add a leaf and a vine, and it’s done.

It’s also fun to make a lot and decorate your room.

Be sure to try it with your child—and with the whole family together.

Grapes made by rolling up and dyeing

Here’s an introduction to making grapes dyed with paint.

First, make a grape-shaped base out of drawing paper.

Roll up some kitchen paper to look like individual grape berries, and stick them onto the base.

Then drip paint over them to add color, and finish by attaching the stem and leaves.

It’s best to thin the paint with plenty of water and prepare a few colors.

After rolling the kitchen paper, use glue to attach it to the base.

Try making some lovely grapes in soft, pastel colors!

Grapes made with tissue paper

Autumn is full of delicious foods, and it’s especially the season when many fruits are harvested.

How about making grapes, a seasonal fruit you can enjoy in autumn? Roll purple tissue paper into balls to create the many round grape berries in a cluster, and have the children stamp their handprints in green on construction paper, cut them out, and use them as grape leaves.

Glue the grape berries onto a backing sheet of the same color.

The number of berries and how they are arranged will change the size and appearance, giving each piece its own personality.

How about an autumn craft inspired by grapes that kids love? Here’s how to make 3D grapes using toilet paper rolls and origami paper! Cut toilet paper rolls and glue the pieces together in the shape of a bunch of grapes, then attach them to a circle cut from construction paper.

Next, crumple origami paper into small balls and tuck them inside the roll segments.

For the grape stem, you can draw it directly or cut it from colored or construction paper—either works.

It’s a simple method that’s easy even for five-year-olds, so enjoy making it together with the children! Since it has a three-dimensional finish, it’s also great as a wall decoration.
