Introducing ideas for September wall displays, autumn wall decorations, and room decor (51–60)
Stylish mushrooms made with masking tape
Masking tape comes in all sorts of designs and patterns.
How about using that tape to make stylish mushrooms? On a sheet of white drawing paper, stick your favorite masking tapes randomly—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
Once you’ve added as much as you like, cut the paper into the shape of a mushroom cap, then pair it with another piece of paper cut into the shape of the mushroom stem to complete the craft.
Each child will choose different tapes and arrangements, resulting in wonderfully original creations.
Depending on the children’s ages, teachers should handle any steps that involve using scissors.
ginkgo
These ginkgo origami pieces are perfect for autumn decorations.
The distinctive leaf shape will likely capture children’s interest.
For kids, we recommend using standard-size origami paper, which is easier to handle.
If making them together with the teacher, the teacher can use smaller paper to add variety.
You can also use them as wall or hanging decorations to brighten up the room and create a full autumn atmosphere.
Working together on the decorations will help strengthen bonds with the children.
bellflower
Bellflowers (kikyo), known as one of the seven flowers of autumn and as an autumn kigo in haiku, have charming star-shaped blossoms.
They make a great motif for wall decorations and wreath components.
Let’s help children learn about autumn flowers and enjoy the seasonal feel! To make them, fold a regular-size sheet of origami paper that’s easy for kids to handle, sketch the outline, and cut with scissors.
Trim the tips slightly, then open it carefully and you’re done! It’s also fun to vary the colors—white, light purple, deep purple—to create different looks.
grapes
Grapes are a great origami theme for teachers and children to make together in September.
Using a sheet of origami paper cut in half, you can create two grape berries.
Combine them to make a full cluster of grapes! Grape origami boosts children’s creativity and concentration, develops fine motor skills, and brings an autumn atmosphere to preschools and kindergartens.
You can also enjoy it in various ways—display it on the wall, use it for pretend play at a fruit shop, or make it as a Grandparents’ Day gift.
Why not include it in your autumn crafts this year?
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.
