[For Seniors] Day-service activities also recommended! Craft ideas for November
November, when autumn deepens and you can feel the chill in the air.
For many older adults, it’s a season when they spend less time outdoors going for walks.
So this time, we’re introducing craft activities with the theme of “11” that can be done indoors.
We’ve prepared projects featuring seasonal foods and flowers that are at their best in November.
They can be enjoyed as decorations on facility walls or taken home as interior decor.
There are also projects that can be used to play games after they’re made.
By all means, try the games together with the older adults.
Some older adults may find it difficult to sense the passage of time or the seasons.
Through November-themed crafts, let’s help them savor the season.

Persimmon Origami
November is when persimmons are most widely in season.
When persimmons start lining the shelves at supermarkets, many people feel the transition from autumn to winter.
So how about using persimmons as the motif for a November calendar? Painting them with paints or expressing them with torn-paper collage would be lovely.
If you want a bit of three-dimensionality, you could make them with origami.
Here’s an idea that uses two sheets of origami paper to create the fruit and the calyx, then glue them together.
The steps are simple, so feel free to use this as a reference.
Brush pen drawing: Autumn leaves
Here’s a maple-leaf illustration perfect for autumn foliage, drawn with a brush pen.
It’s best to prepare several colors of brush pens rather than just one.
When drawing the leaves, keep an eye on the shape so the size is balanced left and right.
Adding motion in the direction of the leaves’ strokes gives the picture depth, which can make it even more enjoyable if you turn it into a calendar to display.
It’s also a great idea to draw autumn fruits alongside the leaves.
Try making your very own original calendar!

Let’s make a cute owl using a hot glue gun.
Use a pine cone as the base, cut the face and wing parts from felt, and simply glue them on—it’s easy.
Once the owl is finished, attach it to the base.
The cutest part of this idea is using a nut to make it look like the owl is wearing a little hat.
The eyes are basically made from felt, but if you use sticker eyes, the owl will have a slightly different look.
Felt doesn’t have to be only brown—using red, yellow, and other colors to make it colorful is adorable too.

https://www.tiktok.com/@simiscraft/video/7420758048664227104Let’s try making an owl using pinecones, acorn caps, leaves, googly-eye stickers, felt, and construction paper.
Glue an acorn cap to the pinecone base with the inside of the cap facing forward.
Attach small googly-eye stickers inside the cap.
Cut feet and a beak from felt or construction paper and glue them to the base.
To evoke outstretched wings, attach leaves on both sides—and it’s done.
The owl’s look will change depending on the color and shape of the wings, so find leaves you like and give it a try.

Here’s a cute handmade owl idea that looks like it’s perched on a tree branch.
Stick googly eye stickers onto the flat bottom of a pine cone.
Cut out feet from felt (or similar), insert them into the pine cone, and glue on curled, narrow dried leaves as decorative feathers.
Then place the owl on a suitable small twig, and it’s done.
This idea looks even cuter if you make several owls using the same steps and line them up, rather than making just one.
Try finding some small pine cones and give it a go.
a pinecone owl wrapped with yarn
Here’s a handmade owl craft idea that also helps with finger dexterity.
Prepare a pine cone and wrap a long piece of yarn around it.
Secure it so it doesn’t come undone, then attach felt pieces for the eyes and beak, and you’re done.
Using a single color of yarn works, but combining several colors makes a cute, colorful owl.
You can also add a string to hang it as a Christmas ornament.
Try making your own unique owl!
Snowy Owl ornament
Here’s an idea for a fluffy, cute owl decoration.
Cover the entire pine cone that serves as the owl’s base with small pieces of cotton.
Attach the cotton by tucking it between the scales of the cone.
Drizzle liquid glue over the top and sprinkle on sequins.
Make a base for the eyes out of cotton and glue it on, then place eye stickers on top.
Finally, add the beak to finish.
You’ll have a sparkling, very cute owl—perfect as a winter decoration.
