Cute little fox

[Preschool Crafts] Autumn Craft! Cute Fox with Origami ♪ | Origami Fox

Let’s make a fox out of origami—a creature that often appears in fairy tales and folk stories set in autumn.

This time, we’ll use two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle.

Lift and fold only the top layer at the largest corner so that a small white part shows.

Turn it over, then fold both side corners up toward the center to form the ears.

Draw the eyes with a pen.

Next, fold the second sheet into a triangle, then fold it in half again, slightly offset.

Finally, glue the face piece from the first sheet to the body piece from the second sheet, and you’re done.

There aren’t many steps, and it’s very easy to make, so give it a try!

three-dimensional bagworm

[Origami] Bagworm – Easy folding method, how to make a 3D version, autumn origami that kids as young as 3 can make, instructions children can follow, origami for September, October, and November [Origami]

Here’s an autumn-themed bagworm craft that captures the feeling of the season.

Prepare three sheets of origami paper and let’s get started.

For the bagworm’s face, fold one sheet into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it, then fold the corners toward the center line.

Fold again along the creases and flip it over.

Match the corners to shape the bagworm’s face.

For the “mino” (the bag/casing), the key is opening the mouth of the pouch.

If it’s difficult, have an adult help.

Make two of these in the same way, then glue them together to complete the bag/casing.

Finally, glue the casing and the body together to finish.

Draw a face to create your own cute, original bagworm.

Perfect for decorations! How to fold a dragonfly

[Autumn Origami] Easy☆How to Fold a Dragonfly [Origami] Simple Insect Origami

When it comes to symbols of autumn in Japan, dragonflies come to mind, don’t they? This time, let’s introduce a dragonfly made of origami that’s perfect for autumn crafts.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, some eyes, and a felt-tip pen, and let’s get started.

For the dragonfly’s body, make creases vertically and horizontally, then fold toward the center line to form a square shape.

When puffing up and shaping parts of the origami, the key is to use your fingertips as you fold.

Next, prepare the remaining sheet of origami to make the wings.

For the sections where you open the paper outward while folding it down, take your time and fold carefully.

Glue the body and wings together, then adjust the body’s shape at the end.

Attach the eyes, and it’s complete.

[Paper Plate] Moon-Viewing Craft

🌝 Made with paper plates 🌝 Moon Viewing craft 🌾 #AutumnCraft #Crafts #Kids #Handicraft #Daycare #September

Perfect for the moon-viewing season! This is a craft featuring a round full moon and a rabbit.

First, paint the entire paper plate yellow.

You can use pens, crayons, paints, or try different coloring methods like tearing and pasting origami paper.

The overall feel of the piece changes a lot depending on the method, so it might be nice to let the children choose their favorite tools.

After that, simply stick the pre-made parts—such as the rabbit, moon-viewing dumplings, and pampas grass—onto the paper plate.

Punch a hole at the top of the plate and thread a ribbon through, and you’ll have a fall-themed hanging decoration all finished!

Let’s make a cute squirrel using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet in half into a triangle and open it.

Fold the corners slightly along the crease.

Fold both side corners up toward the center.

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

Fold the two bottom corners toward the center as well.

Offset it slightly and fold in half, then tuck in the bottom corners to round the overall body—this completes the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the squirrel’s face to finish!

Cosmos with a threading activity

This is a cosmos craft made by threading yarn through a paper plate.

In preparation, teachers should have ready paper plates with holes made using an awl and straws cut into small pieces.

To make it easier for the children to thread the yarn, push the awl all the way through to create larger holes.

Then hand it over to the children! Wrap tape around one end of the yarn to make threading easier, thread it from the back of the plate to the front, insert it into another hole from the front, and secure the back with tape.

Adding straw pieces onto the yarn before threading it from the front to the back will make the result even more vibrant.

Finish by drawing stems and leaves with crayons in the empty spaces.

Making a cosmos flower with origami

[Preschool Craft] Making a Cosmos Flower Wall Display with Origami ♪

Here’s a craft idea inspired by a classic autumn flower, the cosmos.

Fold a sheet of origami paper three times to make a long, narrow strip, then unfold it and cut along the creases with scissors.

If it’s hard for a child to cut straight, draw guide lines to help.

Glue the ends of each cut strip together to make loops, then glue the loops together to form a cosmos flower.

Start by arranging four loops in a cross, then fill in the gaps with the remaining loops for a neat finish.

Stick a yellow round sticker in the center and attach the flower to a backing sheet.

Finally, use crayons to draw leaves, the sky, or anything you like, and you’re done.

Try using pink origami paper in different shades to make it extra pretty.
