Perfect for autumn! How to fold a mushroom (origami)

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Origami Mushroom Tutorial♪

When it comes to autumn flavors, mushrooms are a classic! Let me show you how to make a mushroom using just one sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half into a rectangle, then fold it in half again to make a square.

Unfold it completely, then fold two corners toward the center.

Flip it over and fold the bottom half upward.

Flip it back, tuck the left and right sides inward, then fold the whole piece in half.

Fold down only the white section, then tuck the white part inside to finish.

For the mushroom cap, tuck in the corners to round the shape overall.

It might look cute if you draw some patterns on it, too!

[Sponge] Autumn Sky Craft

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Easy tearing craft! September autumn sky: a painting/craft of an aerial stroll among mackerel clouds

This is a craft project to create an autumn sky with mackerel clouds using a sponge and thin calligraphy paper.

Prepare an orange sheet of construction paper, then use a sponge soaked with paints such as orange and white to dab on curved patterns.

Because “autumn sky” might be hard for children to imagine, it’s recommended to show photos or have teachers demonstrate an example.

Once the paint is completely dry, tear the thin paper and paste the pieces on as mackerel clouds to complete the autumn sky! Try arranging it further by adding origami airplanes or portraits of children looking up at the sky.

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!
