Six types of autumn origami

[Can be done in 2 minutes] Simple and cute! 6 types of autumn origami 🎃👻🍄

These are cute origami pieces with autumn motifs—such as chestnuts, mushrooms, acorns, and Pacific saury—that even small children can enjoy making.

For example, to make a chestnut, fold it into a triangle and unfold once.

Then fold the top down toward the center, fold down the top-right and top-left corners to gather the shape, flip it over, fold again, and adjust the shape to finish—super simple.

Add eye stickers to the acorn for instant cuteness.

Kids’ favorites like ghosts and hats—familiar from autumn field trips—are great to try, too!

It’s very easy: cut a toilet paper roll into two, decorate each half with origami paper, stick them together, and draw the face.

Since you won’t need scissors except for splitting the roll in two, even small children can enjoy making it.

Bubbly little mushroom

Perfect for autumn wall displays! 'Bubble Wrap Mushrooms' (recommended for 3-year-olds)

Let’s use the bubble wrap lying around at home to make autumn-themed mushroom decorations! Draw the shapes you want on construction paper or cardstock and cut them out.

Then cut the bubble wrap to match those shapes and glue it on top.

After that, use permanent markers to color the bubble wrap.

You’ll create decorations that feel fresh thanks to bubble wrap’s unique texture.

Coloring the bubble wrap is also a sensory experience you don’t usually get, so kids are sure to enjoy it.

It’s a great craft that puts bubble wrap—often thrown away or hard to repurpose—to good use!

Peek through the dragonfly glasses with the kids and enjoy the autumn scenery to the fullest.

A sweet potato wrapped in newspaper

Paper Chestnuts and Roasted Sweet Potatoes (with audio commentary) — How to Make Them

This is a sweet potato papercraft with a realistic bumpy texture.

Crumple sheets of newspaper into balls and layer them until you reach the size you like.

If you want to recreate a baked sweet potato split in half, flatten the cut surface, crumple yellow origami once to add wrinkles, then attach it to the flat area.

Tear purple origami into roughly sized pieces and stick them on to form the skin, and once the whole piece is covered with origami, it’s done.

Using moisture-rich adhesives like wood glue or liquid glue softens the paper, making it easier to replicate the texture of a real sweet potato!
