[For 3-year-olds] Perfect for September! A Collection of Craft Ideas to Enjoy Autumn Nature

September makes craft time with children even more fun.

Here, we’ll introduce craft ideas for three-year-olds using seasonal themes like moon-viewing, mushrooms, and cosmos flowers.

Let’s enjoy autumn crafts together using stamp daubers, origami, and everyday materials.

Through activities that highlight each child’s individuality, their interest in autumn’s nature will grow.

You’ll find plenty of tips everyone can enjoy together, so please use them as a reference.

Because we emphasize ideas that harness children’s free imagination to create works, in the main text we use the term “seisaku” (制作, creation/production) rather than “seisaku” (製作, craft-making).

Bleeding-effect mushroom

There are many delicious foods that are in season in autumn, and mushrooms are one of the most famous autumn flavors.

You often see autumn-colored mushrooms in wall decorations and the like.

Here’s an idea to make those mushrooms using a bleeding-painting technique.

For the mushroom caps that will have the bleeding effect, use coffee filters.

Draw on the filters with water-based pens in colors you like, then sprinkle water over them to let the colors bleed.

It’s easy to get even coverage by spraying water from a spray bottle.

Make the mushroom stems with colored construction paper, and once the filters are dry, glue them on.

Great for scissor practice too! Cosmos papercut (kirie)

I’ll show you how to make simple yet bright and cute cosmos flowers.

Start with the front side of the origami facing up and fold it in half into a square twice.

Fold it into a triangle aligning the edges, then unfold both sides.

On the loose, flappy side, draw lines imagining the petals of a cosmos flower, and cut along them with scissors.

Open the origami and stick a yellow sticker in the center to finish.

If you make a bunch and decorate your room, it will instantly feel full of autumn! It’s also perfect for practicing scissor skills.

Please give it a try.

Easy and cute pampas grass origami method

The Japanese pampas grass that signals the arrival of autumn in Japan has a deep charm, doesn’t it? Let’s try making pampas grass with origami.

First, cut your origami paper into a quarter-sized rectangle, fold it in half twice to make a long, narrow shape, then fold it in half once more.

Open it back up to the state where it has been folded in half once from the original.

Along that center crease you just made, use scissors to cut a slit up to the middle.

Fold it in half again, and then, starting from the slitted section, offset each layer sideways as you fold them one by one.

Finally, adjust the shape so the white and colored sections alternate when viewed, and you’re done.

Please use this as a guide and display it next to your moon-viewing dumplings!

Fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Open it, then fold the corners toward the center line, and fold toward the center line two more times.

Gently guide the children to fold slowly and carefully.

Flip it over, fold the left and right sides in about one-third each to form the acorn shape.

Slightly fold the tip into a small triangle to round it off, and it’s done.

Flip it over and fold up the opposite corner as well.

Fold both side corners up toward the center.

Fold each of the two top corners inward toward the center to make the ears, and slightly fold the face and mouth areas inward to make them rounded—this completes the face.

Next, fold the second sheet in half into a triangle, open it, and fold both side corners inward to meet the center crease.

Fold the two bottom corners toward the center too.

Fold the whole piece in half, offset slightly, then tuck in the bottom corners to round the shape—this completes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the squirrel’s face, and you’re done!
