Fun November craft ideas for 1-year-olds!

Curious one-year-olds, full of wonder, grow freely as they see, touch, and absorb many things.

For teachers who are thinking, “I want to enjoy autumn-specific crafts with the children!” this is a must-see.

Here, we introduce craft ideas recommended for one-year-olds in November.

We’ve gathered many ideas that incorporate autumn-themed motifs like acorns, fallen leaves, mushrooms, and red dragonflies.

We also introduce fun techniques that boost one-year-olds’ “I want to try it!” spirit, as well as activities that make use of materials offering a variety of textures.

Please use these ideas as a reference to support your autumn childcare.

Because we present ideas for creating works that allow children to express their free imagination, the term “seisaku” is written as 「制作」 in the text.
