acorn maracas

Make it with gashapon capsules! Here’s a cute idea for acorn maracas.

You’ll need empty gashapon capsules, acorns, coffee beans, jute twine, double-sided tape, and scissors.

First, stick double-sided tape on one half of an empty capsule and wrap it with jute twine.

Next, put acorns inside the capsule.

Finally, close the capsule and you’re done! If you use coffee beans or soybeans as the filling, you can enjoy different sounds—highly recommended!

Wobbling bagworm

[Autumn Craft] Easy Wobbly Bagworm Made with a Paper Cup and Yarn [Ashitaba Channel]

Make it with a paper cup! Here’s an idea for a wobbly bagworm craft.

You’ll need: a paper cup, yarn, a brown envelope, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), newspaper, colored construction or tissue paper, a hole punch, glue, and scissors.

First, punch two holes in the paper cup and wrap yarn around the cup.

Next, thread a chenille stem through the holes to make a handle.

Crumple the brown envelope into a ball and place it inside the cup, then glue on the eyes and mouth pieces.

Finally, attach some fall leaves made from colored paper—and you’re done! Try hanging it on a doorknob or hook for decoration.

hedgehog

[Autumn Craft] With templates! Let’s make three kinds of hedgehogs!

Hedgehogs with prickly, pointy spines are perfect for autumn crafts! Cut out the hedgehog’s body and a basic mountain shape for the spines from construction paper.

Add patterns to the spine area however you like.

For example, wrap yarn so it hooks onto the spines, or stick on small pieces of cut yarn or randomly arranged origami paper.

For the eyes and nose, draw them in with crayons or add round stickers.

Try different methods to match the children’s interests and have them give it a go!

stylish tree

Perfect for the art-filled autumn season! Here’s an artistic and stylish tree-making craft idea.

It’s an activity that draws out children’s free creativity, so why not try it at your daycare or kindergarten? Cut construction paper into leaf shapes and let the children freely add color with crayons or paint.

Next, tear and glue craft paper (or similar) into branch and trunk shapes.

Finish by arranging the colored leaves you made earlier.

You can also add a stamping activity using various recycled materials—kids will love it.

Let’s head out with a bag! Here’s an idea for making an acorn bag using a plastic cup.

You’ll need a lidded plastic cup, ribbon, clear tape, stickers, scissors, and a stapler.

First, cut a cross-shaped slit in the lid.

Next, make the ribbon into a loop and attach it to the plastic cup.

Finally, decorate with your favorite stickers and you’re done! A key tip for the cross-shaped slit in the lid is to round the cuts.
