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

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Autumn is full of charms—like delicious seasonal foods and the arts.

How about making wall decorations with autumn motifs so you can feel the season even indoors? Here are some wall decoration ideas recommended for October.

You’ll find plenty of ideas perfect for October: of course, Halloween-themed ghosts and pumpkins, as well as autumn’s tasty foods like grapes and mushrooms, and nature themes like autumn leaves and acorns.

Make beautiful wall decorations together while making the most of the children’s creations!

Grapes with a perfectly round stamp

Grapes are a popular autumn fruit among children.

Let’s express grapes using construction paper and stamps made from lactic acid drink containers.

First, as prep, cut out the overall shape of a grape cluster from construction paper.

Also prepare plenty of purple circles.

Using a variety of purple shades will make the final result look beautiful.

Have the children freely glue the circles onto the grape cluster, then use the lactic acid drink containers to stamp round shapes on top.

The overlap of the paper circles and the stamped circles creates an artistic finish.

Hang them up with purple raffia (suzuran tape) for display.

Autumn fruits with balloon stamps

Let’s use balloons like stamps to make delicious autumn fruits! On white drawing paper, dab paint onto the paper using a paint-covered balloon.

Once the paint dries, cut the paper into the shapes of your favorite fruits to match the paint colors.

Prepare separate paper to make stems and leaves, then combine them with the fruit shapes to finish! Have the children do the balloon stamping, and let the teacher handle any tasks that involve using scissors.

Ginkgo Stamp

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Feel the Fall in November! Ginkgo Stamp Art and Craft

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.
