[Childcare] Perfect for 3-year-olds! October craft ideas

October brings a stretch of autumn-like weather.

Many preschools and kindergartens are likely planning events such as field trips and sports days.

Children grow in both mind and body as they gain a variety of experiences.

Here are some craft ideas perfect for October.

You can create activities that connect seamlessly with everyday care, using seasonal materials or motifs from seasonal events.

Let’s watch over the children so they can stay focused and enjoy their time.

Because the children’s creations are treated as works of art, we use the term “制作” (seisaku: creation/production) in the text.

Cute for moon-viewing too! A rabbit face

First, with the colored side facing out, fold along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Then crease by folding so that the left and right tips of the triangle meet.

Next, fold so that the 90-degree corner overlaps the center of the base, and then fold the left and right corners along the creases to form an overall diamond shape.

Fold the left and right corners to the center, and make a small fold in the bottom corner.

Finally, fold the top corner down to meet the left and right corners, and you’re done.

When you turn it over, it will be shaped like a rabbit’s face, so draw the face with a marker to finish.

The steps aren’t complicated, but there are quite a few folds, so take your time and give it a patient try.

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.

After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.

Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.

Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.

Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.

If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.

Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.

Super easy! Fox face

This is a way to fold a fox face in just five folds.

First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Next, fold so that the two 45-degree corners meet, creating a crease.

Then, fold so that the 90-degree corner aligns with the point where the crease intersects the base.

Finally, fold each of the 45-degree corners upward, and you’re done.

Turn it face up and draw the fox’s face.

With no complicated steps and only a few folds, this is an easy origami project to try.

After folding the origami into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top corner down to meet the center.

Fold the top edge down to align with the horizontal crease, then fold it down once more along the crease and fold the entire paper into a triangle.

This folded section will become the acorn’s cupule (cap).

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right corners inward so they overlap at the center, then slightly fold in the five corners to refine the shape.

Flip it back to the front, and you’ll have a cute acorn.

This idea works best with double-sided origami paper.

Easy way to make grapes

[Origami] Easy Grape Craft! A Folding Method Even 3-Year-Olds Can Do
Easy way to make grapes

We’ll make this using sheets of origami paper cut in half.

First, fold the origami paper in half vertically, then fold all four corners in toward the crease.

Next, fold it in half so the fold is perpendicular to the first crease.

This will create two 90-degree corners; fold those corners inward toward the center to make creases.

Open it back up, then tuck along the creases to form a square.

Next, take the corner on the closed side of the square and make two small folds; when you open the square, it will look like two quadrilaterals connected together.

Finally, fold the corners to make an octagon, and you’re done.

Make four of these and glue them together to create a bunch of grapes.

Some steps may be a bit hard to understand, so please watch the video carefully as you work.

Since you’ll be making several of the same piece, the children will likely get better at it as they go!
