Cute squirrel

Easy origami squirrel folding! Cute enough for a 3-year-old to make♪

Let’s make an adorable squirrel using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet in half into a triangle and open it, then slightly fold the corners along the crease.

Flip it over and fold up the opposite corner as well.

Fold both side corners up toward the center.

Fold each of the two top corners inward toward the center to make the ears, and slightly fold the face and mouth areas inward to make them rounded—this completes the face.

Next, fold the second sheet in half into a triangle, open it, and fold both side corners inward to meet the center crease.

Fold the two bottom corners toward the center too.

Fold the whole piece in half, offset slightly, then tuck in the bottom corners to round the shape—this completes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the squirrel’s face, and you’re done!

Grapes with a perfectly round stamp

Grapes are a popular autumn fruit among children.

Let’s express grapes using construction paper and stamps made from lactic acid drink containers.

First, as prep, cut out the overall shape of a grape cluster from construction paper.

Also prepare plenty of purple circles.

Using a variety of purple shades will make the final result look beautiful.

Have the children freely glue the circles onto the grape cluster, then use the lactic acid drink containers to stamp round shapes on top.

The overlap of the paper circles and the stamped circles creates an artistic finish.

Hang them up with purple raffia (suzuran tape) for display.

Squirrel Wreath

How about making a super-cute squirrel wreath to feel the autumn season? As prep work, the teacher should cut construction paper into 3.5 cm-wide strips.

Choose autumnal colors like yellow, orange, and red.

Have the children stamp patterns on the paper with cotton swabs or decorate it with stickers.

Once the decorating is done, apply glue along a 2 cm-wide section and form each strip into a loop.

After making nine loops, thread a string through their centers to connect them and shape them into a circular wreath.

Next, glue acorns onto the wreath and attach a squirrel face made from construction paper to finish it off!
