Three-dimensional mushrooms made by cutting

[Autumn Origami] Easy and Cute Mushroom Tutorial / Food Mushroom Decoration - Origami Mushroom

Enjoy a wide variety of variations! Here are ideas for making three-dimensional mushrooms by cutting and assembling paper.

You will need origami paper cut into quarter size, origami paper cut into eighth size, colored pens or round stickers, scissors, and glue or craft adhesive.

This is a project idea for three-year-olds to make using scissors! Let’s use origami paper to create 3D mushrooms.

If you draw faces or add decorations with colored pens and round stickers, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind mushroom! Be sure that a parent or teacher supervises when using scissors.

stylish tree

Perfect for the art-filled days of autumn! Here’s a stylish, artistic tree-making idea.

It’s a creative activity that draws out children’s free imagination, so why not try it at your nursery or kindergarten? The teacher cuts construction paper into leaf shapes, and the children freely color them with crayons or paint.

Next, tear craft paper (or similar) into branch and trunk shapes and glue them on.

Finish by arranging the colored leaves you made earlier.

If you have time, you can add a stamping activity using various recycled materials—kids will love it.

Bagworm made with a toilet paper roll core

[Making Bagworms] Autumn Craft: Tearing Paper Play for Children (Nursery School / Kindergarten)

In autumn, bagworms stretch down from trees on long threads.

They can give you a start, but they’re kind of cute—so let’s make a bagworm craft using a paper tube! Use orange and brown origami paper and stick it onto the paper tube.

Like a torn-paper collage, tear the origami into pieces and glue them onto the tube.

Enjoy the tearing process together with the kids.

Instead of tearing into tiny bits, slightly long, narrow pieces make it look more like a real bagworm.

Finish by adding eyes, and you’re done.

You can also attach twine to hang it down!

Mont Blanc made of yarn

[Preschool Craft] Mont Blanc Craft! Fun autumn craft activity you can use in childcare

Let’s make a Mont Blanc dessert craft using yarn—the distinctive look is part of the fun! Kids can also enjoy the texture of the yarn and the feeling of sticking it down.

Just cut the yarn into small pieces with scissors and glue them onto a circle of construction paper.

The teacher can spread glue over the paper first and then have the children stick the yarn on.

Depending on how the yarn is arranged, each piece will have lots of personality! You can also add stickers or origami for free decoration to make the activity even more enjoyable.

A Small Autumn Made with Torn-Paper Collage

[Seasonal Craft] Easy! Make cute little autumn decorations with origami and paper plates!

Let’s try creating a little taste of autumn on a paper plate.

Like a torn-paper collage, glue small pieces of origami paper onto the plate.

Tear red, yellow, and orange origami into small pieces to evoke autumn colors and turning leaves.

To make it easy to stick the pieces on, first apply glue evenly and thoroughly over the entire surface of the paper plate.

Once the collage is complete, make autumn icons—acorns and chestnuts—out of origami to decorate on top.

Cute acorns on fallen leaves—your piece will feel like autumn has been tightly gathered and captured.

Mushroom House

Someone is coming out of the window! Here’s an idea for a mushroom house.

What you’ll need: polka-dot origami paper, pale orange or light brown origami paper, half-size cut origami sheets, your favorite animals or people made from origami, and glue.

Use the polka-dot paper to make the mushroom roof, and finish it off in the shape of a cute house with the pale orange or light brown paper.

If you decorate it with small animals or figures, it will open up a storybook-like world.

Cutting and pasting origami will be a great opportunity to nurture creativity!

Dragonfly’s glasses

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Dragonfly craft ideas you can make and play with! How to make see-through glasses toys

How about making colorful, cute dragonfly glasses as a craft activity at daycare? You can use colored clear file folders from the 100-yen shop for the wings and colored cellophane for the lenses.

It’s fun to let the kids draw patterns on the wings with permanent markers or decorate them with sparkly stickers to create designs they like! The feel of cutting a clear file—something they don’t usually handle—might also feel fresh and interesting to them.

And after making them, they can have lots of fun playing with the see-through dragonfly glasses toy!
