20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Origami has long been cherished in Japan as a traditional pastime.

Beyond developing dexterity, it nurtures imagination and concentration and gives children a sense of accomplishment—making it an essential activity for supporting their growth.

Many teachers may be looking to actively incorporate origami into their classrooms.

So this time, we’re introducing origami ideas perfect for autumn crafts in November.

We’ve gathered ideas featuring motifs that capture the essence of fall—natural objects, foods, animals, and more.

Most can be made with a few simple steps, so children will surely enjoy working on them.

We hope you find these ideas helpful!

Here’s how to make an origami tree that you can also use as a wall decoration piece! Make the leaves and the trunk with separate sheets of origami paper, then glue them together at the end.

Using red or orange paper gives it an autumn foliage feel, while white paper can create the look of a snow-covered tree—so you can customize it freely! You can also make the trunk with a larger sheet so it can serve as a perch for birds and other decorations.

Adjust to the children’s age by adding stickers to the leaves or drawing patterns—decorate freely and have fun!

In conclusion

Here are some autumn origami ideas you can make in November. One of the charms of origami is that you can start right away without any special preparation. When teaching children how to fold origami, it’s recommended to prepare larger paper for demonstration so they can clearly see the finer details. Take it step by step, slowly repeating and checking each stage as you go. It’s best to watch over and support them so each child can enjoy creating their own piece and feel a sense of satisfaction. Make lots of autumn-themed origami and enjoy the season to the fullest!
