[For Kids] Simple November Origami Ideas (11–20)
persimmon
Persimmons made with orange origami are full of autumn atmosphere.
If you make the calyx with green origami, it looks even more realistic.
Using your fingertips for the fine steps helps build concentration and creativity while having fun.
The finished persimmon origami is perfect as a fall decoration for your room.
Making them together as a parent and child will surely be a delightful time.
It’s also recommended for craft time in preschools and kindergartens.
The folding method is simple, so everyone can enjoy giving it a try.

As autumn deepens, why not try making origami mushrooms? You can easily create mushrooms with clearly defined caps and stems.
Add decorations with colorful paper and pens to make your very own original mushrooms.
It’s perfect both as a craft to enjoy with children and as a lovely way to learn about autumn nature.
The mushrooms you make are great as fall decorations or accents for your room.
Enjoy a pleasant time and feel the changing seasons with these easy origami mushrooms.
ginkgo

In autumn, the yellow ginkgo leaves are so beautiful, aren’t they? Many kids probably feel like picking them up when they see them on the ground.
Here’s an idea for making ginkgo leaves with origami.
There’s a step at the beginning where you create crease lines, so be sure to press firmly with your hands to set the creases well.
Closing along the crease lines might be a bit tricky for children, so have an adult explain or help by holding down the center.
The key is to close one side at a time! It’s also a great idea for wall decorations.
cricket

Speaking of autumn insects, the most typical ones are bell crickets and field crickets.
This time, we’re introducing how to fold an origami cricket.
The steps are the same as the grasshopper up to a certain point.
Since the tail and head end up shorter than a grasshopper’s, be sure to fold them firmly inward as you go.
The folding itself is simple, so even young children can try it.
In that case, have an adult demonstrate and fold together slowly, step by step.
Once finished, add cute eye stickers or draw the eyes with a pen to complete it.
It can stand on its own, so displaying it in your room will bring a touch of autumn.
Dahlia

Let’s try making dahlia flowers out of origami, which are at their best in November! Dahlias are known for their many petals, and that’s the key point when making them with origami as well.
There are several ways to make them, but this time I’ll show you the simplest dahlia that can also be used as a medal.
First, fold while keeping in mind to make sharp creases.
The petal sections are intricate, so please fold especially carefully, pressing firmly with your fingers as you go.
You can make them in various colors and arrange them into a bouquet, or create a wall display of a dahlia flower field—both are lovely options.
Maple leaf made from a single sheet of origami paper

Try paper cutting! Here are ideas for making autumn leaves with a single sheet of origami paper.
How about creating a motif of cute, connected maple leaves to decorate your room? This time, two folding methods are introduced, so choose based on the age of the maker and how easy they are to do.
It’ll be fun to pick origami colors that match your image of maple leaves, such as red, orange, yellow, or brown.
When sketching with a pen, it’s also good to incorporate the distinctive features of maple leaves.
Easy Cat

Four connected cats look adorable! Here’s an easy-to-make cat idea.
Autumn is shedding season for cats.
This simple cat-motif craft is recommended for people who have cats at home or those who love cat motifs.
Prepare origami paper, scissors, and a pen for sketching, and give it a try.
You can use any color of origami you like.
If you make it with black or orange origami, it could also work well as a Halloween decoration.
Be sure to try it out!
Easy! How to cut into gingko-leaf slices (ichō-giri)

Let’s make beautiful ginkgo leaves! Here are some easy ideas for cutting out ginkgo shapes.
Many people look forward to watching ginkgo trees turn from green to yellow in autumn.
Why not decorate your room with beautiful ginkgo leaves too? Using yellow-toned origami paper works well.
Start by folding the paper with the colored side facing inward and sketch your outline.
If you capture the ginkgo leaf’s characteristic jagged edges, it will look even more realistic!
Moon-viewing rabbit

Use it for two creations! Here are some ideas for a Moon-Viewing Rabbit.
When you think of autumn, many of you probably picture the moon-viewing festival, right? Let’s make a decoration for your room to prepare for the occasion! You’ll need a compass, a pen, and yellow origami paper.
The video also shows how to draw a circle without using a compass, so check it out for reference.
The rabbit pounding mochi against the full moon is beautiful, isn’t it? Another nice point is that the cutout pieces can be repurposed for a separate project!
Acorns and squirrels

The squirrels holding big acorns are so cute! Here are some ideas featuring acorns and squirrels.
When you think of squirrels, they live by eating nuts and the like, right? This time, let’s make a pair of squirrels working together to carry a large acorn.
You’ll need scissors, origami paper, and a pen.
Choosing origami in your favorite colors will help set the mood.
First, fold the origami paper twice and sketch your outline.
Be careful not to mix up the orientation of the paper while you do this.
