Ideas for October wall decorations: an autumn wall display that makes use of children’s artwork.

Bagworm made with a coffee filter

After enjoying free drawing with markers on a coffee filter, turning it into a bleeding/absorption painting is a fun craft idea.

Once you’ve made the bleeding effect, let the coffee filter dry and cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.

Attach them with double-sided tape to the base of a mino (a straw raincoat) made from construction paper.

Then stick on the face and hat, also made from construction paper.

Finally, draw the face with a pen or crayon, and it’s complete! The patterns and marker colors create unique variations in each mino, which is really fun.

Two types of Mushichan only for infants and toddlers

Here are two fun bagworm craft ideas using twisted tissue paper and paper tape loops.

First, cut a square piece of tissue paper and round off one side with scissors.

Gently twist the side you didn’t cut, and glue it onto a base for the bagworm made from construction paper.

Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make a colorful “mino” (the bag).

Attach a face made from construction paper to finish.

For the paper tape version, cut the tape to a suitable length, glue one end to the base, then overlap the other end to form a loop and secure it.

Cover the whole body in rows, and finish it the same way by adding the face.

A bagworm papercraft made with an envelope

Let me share an idea for making a bagworm using a brown envelope.

Cut off the top of the envelope with scissors, then fold the top left and right corners to the back.

Stick on eyes made by layering white and black round stickers, and then decorate the body with colored paper or yarn to represent the case.

Tear the colored paper into small pieces beforehand, and cut the yarn into suitable lengths.

Finally, tape a piece of jute string to the back of the envelope, and it’s done.

In addition to colored paper and yarn, you could also glue on leaves or small twigs you collected on a walk for a cute touch.

Wobbly fun! Paper-cup bagworm

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Wobbly fun♪ Making paper cup bagworms

Hang these on the wall to meet lots of colorful, fun bagworms! First, prepare two sheets of origami paper in your favorite colors, then tear each one vertically into roughly four strips.

Next, apply glue to one end of a torn strip and randomly stick it onto the side of a paper cup near the bottom.

You can alternate the two colors or group the same color together—either is fine! At this point, also attach the bagworms’ eyes made from construction paper or origami.

Finally, use an awl to make a hole in the bottom of the paper cup, thread through some kite string for hanging, and secure it—that’s it! Please make sure that a kindergarten or nursery teacher, or a guardian, handles the hole-punching with the awl.

Make a cute bagworm with kraft paper and washi tape!

[Autumn Craft] Make a little bagworm with kraft paper!

I’ll show you how to easily make a bagworm using kraft paper, yarn, and masking tape! First, roll up the kraft paper to form the body.

Wrap yarn around it and stick pieces of masking tape on randomly.

Next, draw a face on the face parts you made from colored construction paper, then attach it to the body with double-sided tape.

Finally, tape a string to the back of the face with clear tape, and you’re done! If children will be handling it, twine is recommended.

It looks super cute if you also make a tree branch out of cardboard and hang it, so give it a try!

Make it with handprints! Wobbly bagworm

[Autumn craft] We’re going to make a wobbly leaf insect using handprints!

Here’s a craft idea for making bagworms using children’s handprints and footprints! First, create the bagworm’s body out of colored construction paper.

Next, take origami paper in your favorite colors and tear it into long, thin strips.

Paste the strips onto the body with glue, and use the child’s handprints to make a cute outfit.

Draw the face, attach a piece of yarn to hang it, and you’re done! You can also decorate with yarn instead of or in addition to origami paper.

Making lots in different colors and displaying them looks super cute, so it’s highly recommended.

Be sure to have fun tearing and pasting together with the kids!

Autumn wall display! Mushrooms and bagworms

[Autumn Wall Decorations] A Preschool Teacher Explains Mushrooms and Bagworms! (For Ages 3–5)

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.
