[For 2-year-olds] Feel the warm spring! Fun April craft ideas collection

“Decalcomania” – Butterfly and Caterpillar

Here’s a craft idea for making a butterfly and a green caterpillar using the decalcomania (paint transfer) technique.

Fold one wing of a construction paper butterfly in half and drop a few colors of paint on just one side.

Fold the wing again and open it—the paint will transfer to the other half, creating beautiful, symmetrical wings! Then simply attach the face, body, and antennae to finish.

For the green caterpillar, glue together parts cut from construction paper and have the children draw the face.

You can use them as wall decorations, or mount them on a backing sheet to enjoy a small spring scene.

Strawberries made with torn-paper collage

[Something to make in spring] Tingly Stick-on Strawberry Torn-Paper Collage 🍓 #preschoolcraft #nurseryteacher #teachingideas #withkids #origami #origamicraft #tornpapercollage #strawberry #easycraft #shorts

Let’s create using our fingertips! Here are some ideas for making strawberries with torn-paper collage.

You’ll need red origami paper, patterned origami paper, a backing sheet, glue or double-sided tape, scissors, flower-shaped cut paper, and strawberry calyx-shaped cut paper.

Use your fingertips to boldly tear the origami! It’s fun that the sound changes depending on how fast you tear.

Even things that seem obvious to adults can deepen the activity when you enjoy children’s discoveries as you work together.

Paste the torn pieces onto the backing sheet, then have a caregiver or teacher cut the sheet into a strawberry shape with scissors to finish.

It’s also great if the children can glue on the strawberry calyx themselves.

Easter Bunny made of fluffy cotton

[Easter Craft] Fluffy Bunny Made with a Plastic Bag 🐇 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #TeacherTrainee #TeacherLife #WithKids #Easter #EasyCraft #EasterCraft #Bunny

A plastic bag that’s often used for crafts.

This time, let’s use this plastic bag to make a bunny that children love! We’ll also use cotton, so before you start, let the kids enjoy the feel of the cotton.

After they’ve explored the texture, pack the cotton into a white plastic bag with handles, and once it’s filled, tie the handles together.

The tied part will look like bunny ears, so you might hear the kids exclaim, “Bunny!” Hide the knot with a ribbon, draw the eyes and mouth, and it’s complete.

It’s fluffy and looks like a little doll.

Cherry tree made with stamps

Craft by a 21-month-old | Let’s make a cherry blossom tree! | LET’S MAKE A “CHERRY BLOSSOM TREE” WITH A 21-MONTH-OLD GIRL!

Cherry blossoms blooming in the schoolyard and outdoors—their delicate pale pink color is so beautiful, isn’t it? Let’s try making them easily with paint stamping.

Once you’ve prepared drawing paper with branches and a trunk drawn on it, have the children use pink paint to stamp the blossoms.

They can go bold using their fingers or palms, but stamping with the bottom of a plastic bottle is fun too! Depending on the bottle’s shape, the stamp can look like a flower, so it might be interesting to try different bottles and wait for the children to notice the patterns themselves.

Stamp Cherry Blossoms Made from Scrap Materials

Here’s how to make cherry blossoms using recycled materials.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, glue, a toilet paper roll, and paint.

First, create the base of the cherry tree on the construction paper.

Shape the toilet paper roll into a heart, dip it in paint, and stamp it onto the tree.

The stamped shapes look like cherry blossom petals, giving the artwork a springtime feel.

Since children’s hands are small, it’s recommended to cut the toilet paper roll in half to make a stamp that’s easier for them to hold firmly.

Artworks created using natural materials

Middle Nursery Class April Activities: “Spring Nature Items” (with subtitles)

April has just the right climate and is the perfect season for walks and playing in the playground.

Here’s an activity for creating artworks using natural materials like leaves and branches found outdoors.

Prepare a container to collect fallen leaves and other items.

If children decorate their own container with stickers or markers, they’ll feel more attached to it and enjoy the activity even more.

Use cotton swabs to apply glue to the collected leaves and flowers, then stick them onto construction paper.

When placing the items, it’s important to value the child’s sensibilities and let them lead the process.

Once finished, display the pieces and enjoy the artwork!

[Scribble] 3D Tulip

[Toddler Craft] Tulips You Can Make While Learning Shapes ♪ Includes a Materials List!

Here’s a craft idea that uses children’s scribbles as tulip flowers.

As a prep step, adults cut tulip stems, leaves, butterflies, and cloud parts out of construction paper.

Have the children scribble inside three petal shapes outlined on paper.

Once they finish, cut along the outlines with scissors.

Prepare a white backing sheet, glue on the stems and leaves rolled into tube shapes, then glue crumpled craft paper on top to look like soil.

You can have the children do the crumpling.

Finally, assemble and glue the petals so they look like a flower, and add the butterfly and cloud pieces in the open spaces on the backing to complete the craft!
