[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.

[Childcare] November Wall Decorations and Autumn Craft Ideas (51–60)
One sheet of origami! Cute mushroom

First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then fold both corners toward the center to make triangles.
Flip it over, fold the unfolded section up toward the middle, and flip it over again.
Fold both sides toward the center crease, then fold the top corner down and open it to make a crease.
Using this crease as a guide, fold upward in stepped layers, then fold the corners of the folded-up section and open them.
Finally, fold each corner to round the shape, draw mushroom patterns as you like, and you’re done! Make lots of them and enjoy them as an autumn display!
Hanging grape decoration made of origami

How about an idea for grapes made with paper chains, a classic birthday decoration? Cut origami paper into long, thin strips, glue the ends together to make loops, and link them to represent the grape berries.
Once you have three chains of different lengths, thread them onto a long, thin strip of paper to gather them, add leaves, and you’re done! For the berries, we recommend purple origami in varying shades.
The paper used to gather them will be the stem, so green or brown would work.
By the way, they say grapes with a nicely green stem are the tastiest.
Cosmos wreath you can make with origami

Use four 7.5 cm origami sheets for the cosmos and four 15 cm sheets for the base.
First, fold a 7.5 cm sheet into a triangle, then cross the left and right corners inward and fold so they overlap neatly.
Fold the folded sections back to align with the outer edges, crease well, then open those parts and squash-fold them flat.
Tuck both corners of the squashed section to the back, and cut small triangular notches into the three top corners—this completes one petal piece.
Glue four pieces together to make the cosmos, and place a round sticker in the center.
For the base, fold the top and bottom corners to the center of the paper, then fold the whole thing in half by overlapping top and bottom.
Aligning with the top left and right corners, fold the bottom edge up on each side; once creased, squash-fold those sections.
Make four of these, glue them into a circle, and attach the cosmos to finish the wreath.
Making the cosmos in different colors will look bright and festive.
Autumn wall display! Mushrooms and bagworms

This is a wall decoration of mushrooms and bagworms that’s fun to stick on with glue.
First, make the parts.
Using construction paper in your favorite colors, cut out mushrooms in various shapes.
If you’re working with small children, please cut them in advance.
After cutting slits in the mushrooms, cut separate pieces of construction paper to serve as the stems.
Next, make the bagworms.
Have the children help with what they can, like drawing the eyes.
Now for the assembly.
Tear pieces of construction paper and glue them onto a background sheet to form the bagworm’s body.
Add the eyes and a little hat, too.
Finally, overlap the mushroom pieces at the slits and glue them so they become three-dimensional—that’s it, you’re done.

Autumn Origami Wreath

Here’s an idea for a wreath you can make entirely from origami—from the base to all the parts.
You’ll be making three parts: the base, a squirrel, and a tree.
Since you’ll need several of each, try spreading the work over a few days.
For the base, fold four pieces the way you would when making a traditional “trick boat” (damashibune), creating parts where two boats overlap, then join the four pieces into a circle.
For the squirrel, first fold the left and right edges to meet at the center, then the top and bottom in the same way.
Next, fold up both corners of the top edge to make the ears, and cut along the crease at the lower right to form the tail.
For the tree, fold it four times so it approaches a triangular shape, and it’s done.
Take this chance to try creating a lovely autumn-themed piece!

You’ll use only three, so set one aside for another craft.
Fold each of the three pieces in half vertically, then in half horizontally, in that order.
For just one of the three pieces, cut along the crease made by the horizontal fold to split it in two.
Take one of these halves, fold it so its length is halved, and round off the corner on the side where the layers are not connected.
Insert the remaining uncut piece between the others, and make a matching curved cut slightly above the first curve.
Cut the remaining two pieces in the same way, staple them together at the base, and then fan open the layers—the shape will look like a maple leaf.

Here’s an idea for a maple leaf made by combining parts.
If you use 7.5 cm origami paper, you’ll get a nicely sized leaf.
First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.
Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the left edge in to meet the crease.
Next, fold the right corner toward the center and tuck it underneath the section you just folded.
With the isosceles triangle positioned upside down, fold the top edge from both sides to align with the center line.
Open the small triangles on the left and right into diamond shapes, and one part is complete.
Make five identical parts, stack and glue them together, then roll another piece of origami to make the stem and attach it.
