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 (1–10)
Ginkgo Stamp
How about cutting a sponge into the shape of a ginkgo leaf and making prints with it? On white construction paper, stamp lots of ginkgo-like colors such as green, yellow, brown, and orange.
Once the prints are dry, cut them out to suggest a cluster of leaves, then attach them to a paper trunk and a hill where the ginkgo tree stands.
Make a cute squirrel out of paper too, and place it next to the ginkgo.
Depending on the size of the display area on the wall, you could also make several ginkgo trees and turn them into a ginkgo-lined avenue.
Feel free to get creative and arrange it as you like.
Crumpled tissue-paper mushrooms
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7272287214334217474Autumn is the season when mushrooms are delicious, isn’t it? In this craft, you cut the base mushroom shape out of construction paper, and I recommend making the mushroom cap on the larger side.
Next, tear some tissue paper and stick it onto the cap.
If you arrange the tissue paper like patterns, it gives it an original touch and makes it more fun.
Tearing and crumpling the tissue paper helps improve concentration, exercises the finger muscles, and lets children experience the joy of creating something with their own hands.
Since tissue paper is soft, it’s easy for young children to use in activities, but please be careful to prevent accidental ingestion.
Owl hanging craft
https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7421502317343542546Owls have long been cherished as symbols of wisdom and happiness.
In this wall art activity, cut construction paper into rounded owl shapes, then add color to the owls using plastic bottle caps and crumpled paper.
The key point is that you can enjoy creating a three-dimensional, colorful look.
When gluing on the stars and moon made from torn origami, it’s recommended to let some pieces extend slightly beyond the edges.
By experimenting with different origami colors as you paste, you may achieve an even more vibrant result.
Making fluffy baked sweet potatoes
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7284149362618420482When it gets cold, you can’t help craving delicious, fluffy baked sweet potatoes, right? This baked sweet potato wall-art activity looks fun and also great for practicing fine motor skills.
First, cut out the potato base, then glue on torn pieces of origami paper, taking care to place them so there are no gaps.
After tearing some newspaper, glue it on to wrap the sweet potatoes you made.
Once finished, you could stick them onto a large sheet decorated with fallen leaves, sing the baked sweet potato song, or read a picture book—this might deepen children’s interest in autumn even more.

An autumn wreath is one of those crafts where you can enjoy expressing yourself while feeling the season.
In this project, you use crayons to have fun with colors and decorating the wreath.
First, cut out the center of a paper plate to make the wreath base.
Then crumple about three colors of construction paper, add color to the paper with crayons, and cut it into leaf shapes.
Mixing in circles and triangles is cute, too.
Once you’ve glued the leaves onto the base, add acorns, mushrooms, and autumn fruits as accents to finish.
One-piece origami owl
Owls are known for their large eyes and fluffy feathers and are considered lucky, aren’t they? This time, let’s make a cute owl wall decoration using construction paper.
Use glue to attach the facial parts onto the owl base.
For the fluffy feather section, cut and paste pieces of chiyogami paper.
Children aged 4 to 5 can likely start by using scissors to cut out the parts.
Once it’s finished, read an autumn-themed picture book with the kids and enjoy displaying the artwork on the wall.
Twisty, swirly grape wall decoration
Speaking of autumn, grape picking comes to mind.
Many schools and facilities may have it planned for their fall excursions.
For this wall art activity, roll thin, long strips of construction paper to make the grape berries.
Glue each rolled strip onto a droplet-shaped backing, one by one.
Since they’re grapes, purple or light green backings are recommended.
Once you’ve made the cluster and leaves, attach them to the grapes to complete the piece.
Twist kraft paper and attach the grapes to it, or stick the grapes onto poster paper, and create a wall display that makes you excited for autumn.
Making a camping tent
Autumn has stable weather, making it the perfect season for camping.
This craft is a wall decoration using a camping tent.
Prepare two sheets of construction paper in different colors and cut out two tents of the same size.
On just one of them, make a vertical slit halfway down the center.
When you glue the tents onto the base paper, be sure to slightly lift the slit section so it stands out.
Cut out a drawing of your own face and body and stick it in the tent’s entrance to finish.
It looks super cute, as if you’re peeking out from the tent.
Prickly, Rolling Chestnut Craft
When chestnuts and tissue paper are combined, they create a wonderfully soft autumn atmosphere, don’t they? For this wall display, the key to achieving a festive look is to layer several colors of tissue paper and then cut the corners into triangles.
When folding a chestnut out of origami, try to capture the characteristic rounded shape as you fold.
Double-sided or slightly thicker origami paper may be easier to work with.
Once you draw faces on the chestnuts with felt-tip pens or add stickers, stick them onto the tissue paper, and your autumn-themed wall display is complete.
Wall art made with natural materials
November has stable weather and is a great time for enjoying walks.
For this wall art, prepare kraft paper, glue, a kraft paper frame, and nuts or seed pods.
Using textured kraft paper for the backing is recommended because it helps keep the natural materials from slipping off.
After attaching double-sided tape around the frame, drizzle glue onto the kraft paper and spread it out, then place the nuts wherever you like and let it dry to finish.
Touching natural materials like fallen leaves, acorns, and twigs stimulates the five senses and seems to nurture a rich, sensitive mind.
