The painting “The Mysterious Tree Found in the Forest”

[For Teachers] Painting: “A Mysterious Tree Found in the Forest” – Elementary School Arts and Crafts Helper: We’ll assist with ideas for art class.

Let’s paint using paints and ink! Here are some ideas for a painting called “The Mysterious Tree I Found in the Forest.” Many of you may have experience using paints or ink to draw letters or pictures in class.

This time, let’s try a painting that combines the strengths of both.

You’ll need brushes, a bristle brush, paints, black ink, and drawing paper.

Use a brush dipped in ink to paint the tree trunk on the drawing paper.

Next, drop some water and place your favorite color of paint with a brush onto the wet spots.

Once it’s completely dry, the paint will gently bleed, creating a dreamy, magical finish!

Playable soccer game

[Summer Vacation Crafts] Easy! Playable Crafts (For Elementary School Students) [Soccer] [Handmade Toy] Independent Research

This craft lets you build a genuine soccer game using everyday materials and enjoy both making it and playing it.

Line the inside of a box lid with green construction paper to create the pitch, and make goals at both ends with straws and netting.

Add holes in front of the goals and a mechanism that lets the goalkeeper move left and right to expand the ways you can play.

By making the player figures and the ball yourself, you’ll end up with an original soccer game that looks the way you want.

You can play head-to-head with a friend or family member, so it’s sure to be a hit.

The building process requires focus and creativity, and once it’s finished, playing the game calls for strategy and quick reflexes.

It’s an idea that lets you enjoy crafting and gameplay all at once.

Cardboard guitar that makes sound

Let's Make a Sound-Making Guitar! [Cardboard Craft]

Let’s introduce a fun-to-make cardboard guitar.

Prepare one cardboard box, five rubber bands, a food tray, packing tape, glue, scissors, and a cutting mat, then let’s get started.

Draw a rough outline of a guitar on the opened cardboard and cut out each part along the lines.

Make slits along the long side of the food tray; the depth of the slits will change the sound it produces.

Thread the rubber bands through the slit area.

Attach the food tray to the hole in the guitar body part using packing tape.

Glue the neck and head together.

Then glue the neck and head onto the guitar body to complete it.

Paint it and add decorations to finish your own original guitar!
