Made with summer-specific materials! Here are some popsicle stick puzzle ideas.

When the weather is hot in summer, you crave cold ice cream, right? This time, let’s try making a puzzle using popsicle sticks.

You’ll need popsicle sticks, round stickers, stickers with your favorite motifs, and scissors or a craft knife.

Wash and dry the sticks, then apply the stickers and cut them! If you place a large sticker and then cut, you’ll end up with more puzzle pieces.

Give it a try!

a picture from the story

[Elementary School Art: Story Illustrations] Introducing recommended picture books and ways to support children who struggle to draw from imagination — Fukiko Grandma’s Art and Craft Teaching Tips

When drawing, choosing a theme is important, and some people may struggle with that and find it hard to get started.

For those who aren’t good at deciding on a theme, a recommended approach is to use a story as a reference and create your artwork from it.

Freely choose a narrative, find a scene you like, and express it in your own way through your art.

Because cover illustrations and interior artwork can influence you, it takes skill to see how far you can distance yourself from them and how much originality you can bring.

Try to visualize the setting of the story and make a habit of expanding your imagination from there.

Cool rubber band gun

[Rubber Band Gun] How to Make the Latest, Super Cool Pistol! [Easy Summer Vacation Craft]

Let me introduce a strong and cool rubber band gun.

Prepare 17 bendable straws, a clothespin, tape, and scissors, and let’s make it.

Take two straws and tape their bendable sections together to secure them.

Attach one clothespin to the gap of the joined straws to create the base.

When bundling straws, secure them tightly so the stacked pieces don’t shift.

Stack eight straws by grouping them in sets of four, extend the bendable sections, and build the structure.

When attaching parts together, make sure the straws are firmly fixed so they don’t slip.

Once it’s finished, hook on a rubber band and give it a try!

First Paints

“First Time with Paints”: Elementary School Art Ideas #elementaryschool #art #paints #3rdgrade #firsttime

This craft invites you to explore color expression by enjoying how paint layers and spreads.

Start by drawing lots of balloons on drawing paper.

Varying their sizes and shapes adds movement and a playful feel to the composition.

Drawing thicker outlines or giving each balloon its own pattern will add depth to the piece.

Carefully paint the balloons with your favorite colors.

The way colors bleed and blend becomes part of the artwork’s charm.

The finished picture looks like colorful balloons soaring into the sky, brightening the viewer’s mood.

It’s an idea that helps you learn painting basics in a fun way while fostering the freedom to express yourself.
