Perfect for children in the middle year of kindergarten in September! A collection of origami ideas recommended for autumn

What are the September flowers and their meanings? Origami cosmos

When it comes to flowers that evoke autumn, many people probably think of cosmos.

Often written as “autumn cherry blossoms” in Japanese, these flowers are a familiar sight in parks and along riverbanks.

Why not try making cosmos with your children using origami? With just one sheet of origami paper, you can easily create a single blossom! Using a variety of colors—such as pink, white, and purple—to create a gradient will make them even more vibrant, so give it a try.

If you make a lot, they can be used as wall decorations, making this a great project to try at preschools and kindergartens.

Cute and easy squirrel origami method

Easy origami squirrel folding! Cute enough for a 3-year-old to make♪

Make the head and the body using separate sheets of origami paper, one for each.

First, crease along the diagonal, then open it and fold the top corners in along the crease.

Next, fold the left and right edges up so the bottom edge aligns with the crease; this forms the base outline of the face.

After that, make the ears and fold the corners to refine the outline to complete the face.

For the body, start the same way as the face by making a diagonal crease.

Then fold the corners to the crease to create a diamond shape, and finally fold it diagonally around the middle of the diamond to finish.

Attach the head and body with tape or similar, draw the face, and you’re done.

The folding steps aren’t intricate, and using two sheets of origami gives it a nicely finished look—highly recommended.

Origami Squirrel You Can Fold from a Single Sheet!

Origami “Squirrel” Easy How-To [Autumn Craft Activity]

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel out of origami, perfect for autumn crafts.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Then, as if making a paper cup, fold both corners inward so they cross over and overlap.

Turn the paper upside down, and fold the corners you just made upward to create the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over, and fold up one layer of the bottom corner into a triangle.

Fold a small part of that corner to the back to represent the squirrel’s white belly.

Flip the paper over again, fold up the remaining bottom corner, then make a small cut near the left edge and shape it into the tail.

Draw the body pattern and face with a pen to finish.

Cut a sheet of origami paper into four equal strips (tanzaku) with scissors and separate them.

You’ll use only three, so set one aside for another craft.

Fold each of the three pieces in half vertically, then in half horizontally, in that order.

For just one of the three pieces, cut along the crease made by the horizontal fold to split it in two.

Take one of these halves, fold it so its length is halved, and round off the corner on the side where the layers are not connected.

Insert the remaining uncut piece between the others, and make a matching curved cut slightly above the first curve.

Cut the remaining two pieces in the same way, staple them together at the base, and then fan open the layers—the shape will look like a maple leaf.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold both side corners diagonally upward toward the center to make a cup shape.

Flip the origami so top and bottom are reversed, and fold the corners you just made diagonally upward to form the squirrel’s ears, then turn the paper over.

Fold up a small portion of the top layer at the bottom corner, then roll-fold it further to create the white belly.

Cut into the remaining single layer and shape it into the tail.

Draw the face with a pen and add patterns on the body to finish.

Making some acorns to display alongside it will help create an even more autumnal feel.

Cute mushrooms on the wall, too.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, then open it.

Fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center.

Turn the paper over, fold the bottom edge up to match the horizontal crease, then turn it over again and fold the left and right sides in along the vertical creases.

Fold the top triangular part downward, then use that crease to make a pleat fold.

Squash the pleated sections from both sides into triangles to form the mushroom’s cap and stem.

Finally, tuck the remaining corners inward to round out the shape, and you’re done.

Drawing a face on it makes it even cuter.

Grapes made with origami

Open the origami after folding it into a triangle, and place it so the crease runs horizontally.

Fold the two left edges in to meet the crease, then fold the right corner toward the center.

If the origami forms an isosceles triangle, the base for the grapes is complete.

Apply double-sided tape to the front and attach crumpled tissue paper to represent the grape berries.

Finally, glue on a stem made from construction paper to finish.

Using several shades of the same color for the tissue paper gives a vibrant look.

Switch to green to make muscat grapes.
