[Childcare] Perfect for October! Autumn crafts to enjoy with 5-year-olds

Easy and cute bagworm

[Origami] Bagworm – Easy folding method, how to make a 3D version, autumn origami that kids as young as 3 can make, instructions children can follow, origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Let’s use three sheets of origami paper to make a bagworm that evokes an autumn scene.

Use one sheet for the bagworm’s face and the remaining two sheets to make the bag.

The face looks like an acorn wearing a cap, and the steps are simple.

However, since this idea uses small origami paper, folding the corners to refine the shape might be a bit tricky.

For the bag, there’s a step where you flatten a pouch-like part, so tools like a toothpick or a thin stick can be helpful.

Once the head and the bag are done, stack them vertically and glue them together.

Draw the face to finish.

For three-year-olds, it’s recommended to use larger sheets of origami paper.

Easy way to make mushrooms

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Origami Mushroom Tutorial♪

Open the paper after folding it twice to make a square.

Fold the top two corners in so they meet at the center of the paper.

Turn the paper over, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the horizontal crease.

Turn the paper over again, and fold the left and right sides in to meet the vertical crease in the center.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top corner, then fold it back down at the point where the color changes, making a valley fold.

On the rectangular section, tuck the top left and right corners inward to make creases, open them, then squash-fold those sections into triangles while aligning both side edges with the center.

Finally, tuck the remaining corner inward and round the overall shape slightly—your mushroom is complete.

An easy way to fold fallen leaves (origami)

[Origami] Fallen Leaf – Easy Folding Method, 3D Crafting – Autumn Origami Kids Can Make from Age 3 – Origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.

Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.

From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.

When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.

Fold the left and right edges of the origami to meet at the center, then fold the top edge down to the center in the same way.

Squash the folded-down section into a boat shape, then fold up the left and right sides to create the rabbit’s ears.

Fold the side corners and the top corners of the ears inward to refine the rabbit’s shape.

On the remaining lower section, cut a slit along the crease from the center outward on the top layer only, then open it into a rectangle.

Make another slit in the lower section as well, leaving the center uncut, then round the lower part of the rabbit’s face and fold the rectangle to represent a round moon.

Overlap the moon behind the rabbit to finish.

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.
