Recommended for 5-year-olds’ September crafts! A collection of ideas to enjoy autumn

A dragonfly made by dabbing paint with hands and sticking on stickers.

This is an autumn-themed dragonfly craft where you color by patting paint on with your palms.

Apply paint to your palms and add color all over by gripping and rolling a toilet paper tube.

Next, take the pre-cut dragonfly wing pieces and decorate them with your favorite stickers.

Then attach the wings and eye pieces to the painted body parts, and your cute dragonfly is complete! If you’re displaying them in a classroom, it’s also fun to thread a string through the tube and hang them so the dragonflies look like they’re flying.

The autumn-colored caterpillar

Speaking of caterpillars, we usually think of green ones, but caterpillars dressed in autumn colors are adorable too.

Let’s make a version of the beloved children’s book character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, using fall foliage colors.

On a sheet of white construction paper, you’ll stamp circles—but the stamp is a blown-up balloon.

Mix a few paints in your favorite autumn shades, press the balloon lightly into the paint, then dab and twist it on the paper to make circles.

Even two-year-olds can have fun bouncing the balloon to stamp! Cut out the circles, add a face, and it’s complete.

Fallen leaves with spray paint

Leaves that change color from the lush greens of summer to shades of red and brown.

Those changed leaves eventually fall, tinting the paths with autumn hues.

Let’s recreate those fallen leaves using paint spray! Just dissolve paint in water, pour it into a spray bottle, and you’re ready.

Then spritz it onto paper towels to add color.

Once the colors dry, cut them into leaf shapes, and, if you like, add eyes or decorations with round stickers.

You’ll have bright, adorable fall leaves! Depending on the children’s ages, it may be best for the teacher to handle the prep up to filling the spray bottles with paint.

Mushroom with a balloon stamp

Would you like to try making mushrooms by stamping with balloons? Have an adult inflate the balloons.

The key is to blow them up a bit smaller so they’re easy for children to hold.

Dip the balloon in paint and stamp it onto construction paper in the color of your choice.

It’s more fun if you use several colors of paint.

Finally, attach the stem pieces and your mushroom is complete.

You can draw patterns on the stem or add a face to create a unique mushroom all your own.

Perfect for autumn wall decorations, 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.

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.

Torn-paper collage of fallen leaves

[Origami Play] Let’s make torn-paper autumn leaves with origami

Let’s express autumn with torn-paper collage! Torn-paper collage is not only easy to make, but also a great craft for stimulating the brain by using your fingertips.

Prepare a base sheet with a tree trunk drawn or pasted on it, and freely create autumn foliage by tearing origami paper in fall colors and pasting the pieces.

You can also use color pages from newspapers instead of origami to give it a stylish finish.

No two works will ever be the same.

How about decorating the wall with these unique pieces and enjoying a little exhibition together?
