[Ages 4 and up] Photo Frame

[September Production] Photo Frame — Respect for the Aged Day

A classic gift, photo frames can be made in ways that even small children can easily create! How about using familiar materials like toilet paper rolls and colored construction paper? Have the children draw pictures or patterns freely on the paper, wrap it around the toilet paper roll, and simply place them on the left and right sides of a photo frame backing with slits cut into it.

This craft is recommended for children around 4 years old and up, who are starting to be able to do more.

Also, be sure that the teacher handles any steps that require using a utility knife.

[Age 5] Handmade message card

[Crafts] For Respect-for-the-Aged Day ♡ Simple, Cute Present Part 2

A handmade message card filled with the children’s heartfelt thoughts! Place letters expressing thanks to Grandma and Grandpa and drawings of their faces inside a clear file.

Mark evenly spaced points with a pen along the outer edge of the paper, then punch holes at the marks.

Next, thread yarn through the holes to decorate! Wrap tape around the end of the yarn to make it easier to pass through the holes, and cut the yarn to a manageable length so it won’t tangle—this makes it easier for kids to work with.

Another perk is that, because it’s enclosed in a clear file, it’s easy to keep everything neat and protected!

[Respect for the Aged Day] Photo Frame

[Easy Origami] How to Make a Stylish Photo Frame – Summer Vacation Project, Great as a Birthday Gift Too – Origami Photo Frame – Activity for Seniors

Many preschools and kindergartens are probably considering making gifts for Respect for the Aged Day.

How about creating a photo frame made by rolling origami or patterned paper into tubes? You’ll use a clear file folder as the base.

Roll the patterned paper to form the frame; if you wrap it around a wide tapioca/boba straw as a core, you can make tubes of uniform thickness.

If the tip of the straw is pointed, it can be dangerous, so it’s best to round it off.

Cut the papers to the same length and glue several tubes to each of the four sides.

Insert a mount with slits cut so a photo can fit inside, and it’s complete.
