[Childcare] November wall decorations and autumn craft ideas
As the days when we feel a slight chill gradually increase, November overflows with the cozy charm of autumn.
This time, we’re introducing recommended wall decorations for November, along with creative autumn craft ideas.
From pieces that incorporate natural materials like vividly colored leaves and acorns, to delicious seasonal foods like chestnuts and grapes, and familiar autumn creatures such as bagworms and hedgehogs—these projects are packed with ideas that capture the essence of fall.
Make the most of children’s individuality in their creations and enjoy the autumn season to the fullest!
Because the items children make are treated as artworks, we refer to them as “seisaku” (creations) in the text.

Autumn Origami! How to Fold a Mushroom
Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue to make a cute, original mushroom.
We’ll create it in two parts: the cap and the stem.
For the cap, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to shape it like a mushroom cap.
For the stem, make a triangular crease, then fold the left and right corners toward the center twice.
Tuck the tip into the crease, adjust the shape, and round it out to complete the stem.
Glue the cap and stem together, add the round stickers, and enjoy making your own original mushroom!

Let’s make a wreath with a swinging bagworm! Cut out the center of a paper plate so only the rim remains, spread glue on it, and stick on crumpled tissue paper from the top.
For the bagworm, cut colored construction paper into parts and assemble them by gluing.
While real cocoons are usually brown, since this is a decoration, it’s fun to finish it colorfully by adding round stickers.
You can draw the face with a pen or use round stickers for it.
Attach twine to the bagworm and hang it in the center of the paper plate, and your cute wreath is complete.

After enjoying free drawing with markers on a coffee filter, turning it into a bleeding/absorption painting is a fun craft idea.
Once you’ve made the bleeding effect, let the coffee filter dry and cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.
Attach them with double-sided tape to the base of a mino (a straw raincoat) made from construction paper.
Then stick on the face and hat, also made from construction paper.
Finally, draw the face with a pen or crayon, and it’s complete! The patterns and marker colors create unique variations in each mino, which is really fun.
Two types of Mushichan only for infants and toddlers
Here are two fun bagworm craft ideas using twisted tissue paper and paper tape loops.
First, cut a square piece of tissue paper and round off one side with scissors.
Gently twist the side you didn’t cut, and glue it onto a base for the bagworm made from construction paper.
Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make a colorful “mino” (the bag).
Attach a face made from construction paper to finish.
For the paper tape version, cut the tape to a suitable length, glue one end to the base, then overlap the other end to form a loop and secure it.
Cover the whole body in rows, and finish it the same way by adding the face.
A bagworm papercraft made with an envelope
Let me share an idea for making a bagworm using a brown envelope.
Cut off the top of the envelope with scissors, then fold the top left and right corners to the back.
Stick on eyes made by layering white and black round stickers, and then decorate the body with colored paper or yarn to represent the case.
Tear the colored paper into small pieces beforehand, and cut the yarn into suitable lengths.
Finally, tape a piece of jute string to the back of the envelope, and it’s done.
In addition to colored paper and yarn, you could also glue on leaves or small twigs you collected on a walk for a cute touch.
It breaks after 8 folds! How to fold a chestnut
Fold the top and bottom of the origami together to make a crease.
With the white side facing up, fold the two corners on the right into a triangle, aligning them with the crease.
Turn the paper over, place it so the triangle is at the top, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the base of the triangle.
Turn the paper over again and fold the two bottom corners into triangles.
Finally, fold the left and right corners inward to neaten the shape, and you’re done.
This is a very simple folding method, so even children who feel a bit unsure about origami can enjoy making it.
Finish by drawing a face with a pen.
Easy and cute way to fold an apple (origami)
Let’s make a fall favorite—an apple—using two sheets of origami paper.
Use one sheet for the fruit and the other for the stem.
Fold the paper for the fruit in half twice to make a small square, then open it back up once the creases are set.
Fold the top edge down to meet the horizontal center crease, and fold the bottom left and right corners in toward the center of the paper.
Fold both top corners into small triangles, then tuck in the left, right, and bottom corners to round the overall shape.
Cut a slit at the top center, then open the cut section to the left and right and fold them down.
The fruit is complete.
Next, use a small piece of origami paper to make the stem.
Fold the paper in half by matching the top and bottom edges, then start at the bottom right corner and fold diagonally, rolling it into a narrow strip.
Secure it with glue so it doesn’t come undone, and the stem is finished.
Attach it into the slit you made, and your cute apple is ready!
Easy! How to fold a maple leaf
First, fold the origami into a triangle twice and unfold to create an X-shaped set of creases.
Fold the two edges toward the center along the creases you made, then flip it over.
Fold the narrow pointed section up toward the opposite corner along the diagonal, and flip it over again.
Open up the two areas that can be spread into pockets, and fold them toward the center line so the front matches the shape on the back.
Finally, fold and adjust each corner to form a maple leaf shape, and you’re done.
Make lots in different colors and decorate your room!
Cute Shichi-Go-San origami
Actually, this idea separates the body and the long sleeves, then layers them to look like a single kimono.
First, for the long-sleeve part: fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then unfold it and fold the top and bottom corners to the center.
Next, fold the left and right sides as well, but this time align them about 1 cm short of the center.
Fold the left and right corners back outward, flip the paper over, and fold the left and right corners slightly inward.
Flip it over again, then fold the top and bottom corners of the parts you just folded back about 1 mm inward.
Fold the paper in half along the crease, then fold both sides inward so the arms look overlapped, and that part is done.
For the body: fold the paper into a triangle with the top and bottom corners slightly offset.
Flip the paper over and fold the left and right sides so they overlap at the center.
The white area created by the offset becomes the haneri (half-collar).
Tuck the protruding bottom corner to the back, and slide it between the sleeves you made earlier.
Cute parent and child owls
First, fold the paper up to the crane’s basic form.
Take the two open tips (the side that isn’t closed) and fold them toward the center edge to make crease lines.
Next, using those creases, perform an inside reverse fold on both open tips so they align with the center crease.
Fold the closed bottom corner up on both the front and back.
Then fold the bottom corner upward and squash it open like a balloon fold.
Turn it over, and fold the lower tip up along the edge.
Fold the top tip down.
Finally, fold up a little bit to create an owl’s head that slightly sticks out.
Add cute decorations, and you’re done!
