[For 4-Year-Olds] Recommended in November! Autumn-Themed Craft Activities

As the number of chilly days increases, November ushers in the height of autumn.

Many teachers may be thinking, “I want children to fully experience the charms of autumn!”

So this time, we’re introducing creative project ideas for 4-year-olds that are perfect for November.

Packed with ideas that incorporate a variety of autumn-themed motifs—natural materials like acorns and fallen leaves, delicious seasonal foods, and adorable creatures such as bagworms and squirrels—these projects help children feel the essence of autumn.

We also share project ideas related to Shichi-Go-San, so be sure to use them as a reference.

Because we’re introducing ideas that nurture children’s flexible imaginations through making things, we use the term “seisaku” (creative projects) in the main text.

Cute autumn-leaf origami

Here’s an idea for a maple leaf made by combining parts.

If you use 7.5 cm origami paper, you’ll get a nicely sized leaf.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.

Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the left edge in to meet the crease.

Next, fold the right corner toward the center and tuck it underneath the section you just folded.

With the isosceles triangle positioned upside down, fold the top edge from both sides to align with the center line.

Open the small triangles on the left and right into diamond shapes, and one part is complete.

Make five identical parts, stack and glue them together, then roll another piece of origami to make the stem and attach it.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold both side corners diagonally upward toward the center to make a cup shape.

Flip the origami so top and bottom are reversed, and fold the corners you just made diagonally upward to form the squirrel’s ears, then turn the paper over.

Fold up a small portion of the top layer at the bottom corner, then roll-fold it further to create the white belly.

Cut into the remaining single layer and shape it into the tail.

Draw the face with a pen and add patterns on the body to finish.

Making some acorns to display alongside it will help create an even more autumnal feel.

One-sheet fold! Autumn tree

One-sheet fold! Autumn tree

Let’s try making a freestanding autumn tree.

We’ll begin with a series of crease-making steps.

Since you’ll be folding along these creases later, please proceed carefully.

Note that there are steps where you only make creases on certain sections without folding everything.

Once the creases are in place, the trunk and the base of the leaves come together in an instant.

The part where you create the branches is a bit tricky, but adding them makes a noticeable difference in the final result, so give it your best.

For the trunk, flatten the pocketed section, and finish by forming a small triangle at the end.

How to fold a cute fox

How to fold a cute fox

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

Fold the rectangular origami in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow, crease well, then unfold.

Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease, leaving a small gap.

Fold the two left corners to the center crease, unfold them, then invert the corners along those creases and squash into triangles.

Turn the paper over, fold the left triangular edge to the center crease to make it narrower, then fold the lower right corner up diagonally to meet the top edge.

Fold it back along the first crease you made.

This will be the fish’s tail, so fold the other side as well and adjust the shape.

Fold the origami along the center creases, draw eyes on the face with a pen, and you’re done.

After folding the origami in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the bottom corner up to align with the center.

Then, fold the bottom edge up along the horizontal crease to form a triangle.

Fold the top corner down to the point where the color changes, and turn the paper over.

Fold the left and right bottom edges toward the vertical center crease, then fold the two top edges so they align just slightly outside the center line.

Fold the two top corners down, and fold the tip up so it sticks out slightly at the top.

Finally, fold the bottom corner up, draw patterns and a face with a pen, and you’re done.

Fun in autumn! Roasted sweet potato origami

After folding the origami into a square and creasing it, open it up and place the paper so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the crease, then fold all four corners inward to complete the roasted sweet potato.

This alone gives plenty of autumn vibes, but let’s add one more touch.

Tear the roasted sweet potato you made in half, and insert a yellow “roasted sweet potato” made the same way inside.

Now you’ve made a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

It also works as a wall decoration and seems like an idea that could contribute to children’s food education.
