Grape craft ideas to enjoy in childcare! Have fun making autumn fruits (11–20)
Grapes made with origami
Open the origami after folding it into a triangle, and place it so the crease runs horizontally.
Fold the two left edges in to meet the crease, then fold the right corner toward the center.
If the origami forms an isosceles triangle, the base for the grapes is complete.
Apply double-sided tape to the front and attach crumpled tissue paper to represent the grape berries.
Finally, glue on a stem made from construction paper to finish.
Using several shades of the same color for the tissue paper gives a vibrant look.
Switch to green to make muscat grapes.
Easy way to make grapes

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.
First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.
Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.
This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.
Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.
Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.
Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.
Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.
Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.
Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!

A cute bunch of grapes that’s finished by crumpling tissue paper, putting it into a bag, and shaping it.
Change the color and you’ve got muscat grapes, too.
Cut grape leaves out of construction paper and stick them on.
Using tissue paper in the same color family with different shades will make it look even more vibrant.
Once it’s done, you can display it as is to enjoy an autumn mood, or stick it on the wall and have a grape-picking game.
Since the tissue paper gets packed into the bag, it doesn’t need to be perfectly crumpled.
Let the kids enjoy the feel of the tissue paper while they work on it.
Grapes stamp with a paper core featuring beautiful bleeding-style painting
Cut a toilet paper roll core in half, dip the cut edge in paint, and stamp to create the base with grape berries.
Next, use a wet brush to trace the edges of the berries you drew, then spread the paint inward to fill each berry.
Paint the stem with paint, and for the leaves, apply paint to real leaves and stamp them.
Once the paint is dry, cut the base into the shape of a bunch of grapes to finish.
If you use several colors for the initial berry paint, it will create a beautiful gradient when you spread it.
Grapes made with original stickers
Draw swirling lines with a purple water-based marker on aluminum foil, then rub a sheet of round stickers over the drawing.
Once the marker color has transferred to the stickers, cut the base construction paper into the shape of a bunch of grapes.
Stick on the round stickers to represent the grapes, add a stem and leaves made from other pieces of construction paper, and you’re done.
You can use store-bought stickers as-is, but adding this extra step lets you create original stickers, which I highly recommend.
Using several shades from the same color family for the markers will give the colors more depth and character.
Be sure to use the stickers after the ink has dried.
