[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).

Three-dimensional grapes with just one sheet!

Origami construction paper wall decoration: “Grapes made easy!” Three-dimensional with a single sheet! Preschool craft / Elderly care recreation / DIY papercraft — Grape that can be made with one piece
Three-dimensional grapes with just one sheet!

Cut a sheet of construction paper into a rectangle and make two slits at each end.

On the left side, roll the middle section with slits toward the front and glue it, then roll the remaining sections toward the back and glue them.

On the right side, roll the middle section toward the back and glue it, then glue the remaining sections toward the front.

Fold the paper in half so the rolled parts form three rows, then cut along the fold with scissors to shape the stem.

Make leaves and vines out of origami paper and attach them to the grapes to finish! Try making them in various colors.

Super huge! Tissue paper grapes

Super huge! Tissue paper grapes

Here’s an idea that’s perfect when you want to make an impactful autumn wall display.

Stack several sheets of tissue paper and accordion fold them.

Once folded, tie the center with wire.

Gently pull apart the layers of tissue paper one by one from the inside; when all the layers are fluffed, shape it into a round form.

This makes one grape.

Make eight of these, then arrange them in four rows as 3, 2, 2, and 1.

Glue them onto the base, and add a stem made from construction paper and leaves made from tissue paper to finish.

When you display it on the wall, adding a vine is a nice touch too.

Popping Bubble Wrap Mushroom

Perfect for autumn wall displays! 'Bubble Wrap Mushrooms' (recommended for 3-year-olds)
Popping Bubble Wrap Mushroom

Why not make cute mushrooms using bubble wrap? First, the teacher draws the shapes of mushroom caps and stems, as well as autumn leaves, on construction paper.

Cut out the mushroom cap to use as a template, and trace the outline onto the bubble wrap as well.

Have the children cut out each part with scissors.

Since bubble wrap can be difficult to cut, consider assisting the children or cutting it yourself, and adjust the task accordingly.

Next, glue the bubble wrap onto the construction paper with the bubbles facing up.

Then use a permanent marker to draw patterns on the bubble wrap.

Draw a cute face on the mushroom stem, too.

It’s a fun idea to see what kinds of mushrooms the children will create!

[Ages 3 and up] Hedgehog Snip-Snip Craft

Using everyday paper plates to make hedgehogs is a great craft for 3-year-olds who are starting to enjoy expressing themselves.

Get paper plates, scissors, construction paper, and glue ready.

Prepare the hedgehog bodies in advance, and have the children make cuts around the edge of the paper plate, snipping from the outside toward the inside.

It’s also a good idea to draw guide lines so they can cut along them.

By drawing the hedgehog’s face themselves, each child can create their own original hedgehog.

Giving the hedgehogs names and using them in play can make the activity even more fun.

Swirly Grapes

[Craft] Twirling Grapes

When it comes to the king of autumn flavors, grapes surely take the crown.

Let’s make a seasonal craft by rolling construction paper.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, and glue.

Cut the construction paper into a teardrop shape to create the base for the grapes.

Cut long, thin strips of construction paper and roll them tightly with your fingertips to form grape shapes.

Glue the rolled “grapes” onto the base in a three-dimensional way, making sure there are no gaps.

Finally, cut and roll green construction paper to make the stem and cluster top, then glue it on to finish.

Try making it while paying attention to finger dexterity, size, and overall balance.

Easy grapes—just put them in a plastic bag

Let’s make grapes by crumpling tissue paper—an activity kids can enjoy from around age one.

Prepare a clear plastic bag, tissue paper, and a pipe cleaner.

Shape the clear plastic bag into a triangle, then crumple the tissue paper into small balls to make grape berries.

Put the berries into the bag and twist the opening closed with the pipe cleaner.

Once your 3D grape cluster is done, add a leaf made from a handprint and create a wrinkled pattern on it to finish.

This is a craft that children around one year old, who love squeezing and crumpling, can enjoy.

Give it a try!

Using origami to make delicious-looking grapes is also perfect as a craft that stimulates fine motor development.

Prepare origami paper, glue, and scissors, and let’s get started.

Cut the origami into strips with scissors and glue the ends to make loops.

Make a total of 12 loops.

Glue the loops together to form a bunch of grapes.

If you use light green origami, you can make Shine Muscat grapes.

You can also make leaves and the stem, which might be fun for wall displays and other decorations.
