Craft ideas for 2-year-olds! A cute collection of creations to enjoy October events

Here are some craft ideas you can enjoy with two-year-olds in October! From creations using autumn natural materials like nuts and fallen leaves to cute Halloween-themed projects, we’ve gathered wonderful activities bursting with children’s excitement.

There are also activities that let them enjoy textures, such as finger stamping and playing with paint.

While valuing children’s “I want to try!” spirit, nurture their rich expressive abilities through seasonal crafts! Because we’re introducing ideas that foster children’s free expression, we use the term “seisaku” (production/craft-making) in the main text.

Mushrooms made with finger stamps

Finger stamping is a recommended activity that lets children enjoy the temperature and texture of paint.

For this mushroom craft, cut construction paper into a mushroom shape, then dip fingers in paint and make finger stamps.

If you provide about three colors of paint, the children’s fun will expand even more.

Make the stem part with construction paper as well, and once you stick it onto the mushroom, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind, original mushroom! If you display the mushrooms everyone made on the wall, it will bring a sense of the season and make the crafting experience even more enjoyable.

Mushrooms made from paper plates

[Preschool Crafts] If you’re making mushroom crafts, check these out! Introducing autumn craft ideas for preschool.
Mushrooms made from paper plates

Speaking of autumn, it’s the season when mushrooms are delicious.

Let’s make a mushroom craft using paper plates, toilet paper rolls, and paint.

First, paint a paper plate that’s been cut in half, stick the halves together with double-sided tape, and decorate with round stickers.

Wrap origami paper around a toilet paper roll to make the mushroom stem, and your tasty-looking mushroom is complete! One great thing about this craft is that the key points can be adjusted by age and developmental stage—whether it’s for wall displays or three-dimensional projects.

It might also be fun to try painting the mushrooms in different colors.

Autumn-colored owls with bleed painting and handprints

Here’s a fall-themed owl craft idea that lets you preserve children’s handprints.

Use diluted paint to cover a sheet of white drawing paper.

Once the whole surface is painted and has dried, cut it into the shape of an owl.

After attaching the eyes and beak pieces, add the handprints on the left and right to create the wings.

Finally, attach the feet pieces to complete the owl.

Using paint in brown tones will give it an autumn feel.

It’s a great craft idea that will become a memorable keepsake for a 2-year-old.
