[For Age 3] Let’s make it in April! A collection of craft ideas to feel spring events and nature

Cherry blossom tree made with plastic bags

Blow into it and make it! Let me show you how to create a cherry blossom tree using a plastic bag.

You’ll need construction paper, a plastic bag, paint, a cherry tree shape made from construction paper, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, tie the bottom of the plastic bag tightly, turn it inside out, then blow into it and tie it off.

Dab paint onto the plastic bag, which will be puffed up like a balloon, and stamp it onto the paper to make big cherry blossom petals! Attach the cherry tree cutout made from construction paper, and you’re done!

A flower field made with fork stamping

Let’s make a colorful, cute spring flower field using fork stamps.

Prepare paint, a fork, green-toned tissue paper, construction paper, and glue.

Tear the tissue paper vertically by hand to create stems and leaves.

Tissue paper is delicate, so tear it gently.

Once you’ve glued the tissue paper onto the construction paper to represent stems, start stamping with paint applied to the fork.

If you load the fork with plenty of paint, the flowers’ shapes and colors will stand out clearly.

The softness of the tissue paper will help express the movement of the stems and leaves, too!

Dandelions Made of Pipe Cleaners and Yarn

Easy and fun! Make a dandelion without sewing using pipe cleaners, yarn, and felt ☺️#tiktok video contest#tiktok classroomLife with children

Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou

Would you like to make a three-dimensional dandelion with adorable fluffy yarn flowers? Let’s start by making the flower.

Prepare a suitable pen and hold it together with a yellow pipe cleaner.

Wind yellow yarn around the pen and pipe cleaner 40 times, then remove the pen and tie the loops together with the pipe cleaner.

Thread a green pipe cleaner through the yellow one and wrap it around to cover the yellow pipe cleaner, forming the stem.

Cut through the center of the yarn loops, then trim the ends into a rounded shape to create a pom-pom effect.

Finally, thread a felt leaf onto the stem, and you’re done.

It’s a very cute, spring-like idea!

A mimosa bouquet made from handprints

@pi_chan.sensei__hoiku

Here’s what we’re sharing this time: “Mimosa spring flowers made by crumpling tissue paper on a handprint!” Spring flowers are full of cuteness, aren’t they? Use your fingertips to crumple small pieces of tissue paper, sprinkle them on, and your mimosa is complete. It’s easy and adorable to make at home or in preschool, so I’d be happy if you try copying it and making one too! 😊#March production#April ProductionNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery School Craft#SpringCraftsSpring Craft Mosaic Bouquet

♬ Memories – J.Fla

Let me share an idea for a mimosa bouquet made with children’s adorable handprints.

You’ll need: a sheet of construction paper for the base, masking tape or patterned origami paper, paper doilies, light green construction paper, yellow tissue paper, glue or double-sided tape, pink tissue paper, and ribbon.

Children grow up in the blink of an eye, don’t they? How about turning their cute, one-of-a-kind handprints into a craft while you can? Take their handprints on the construction paper, then stick on bits of torn, crumpled tissue paper.

The step where you roll the tissue into little balls seems like it would be lots of fun!

Cherry blossoms made with newspaper stamps

Let’s make use of familiar materials! I’ll show you an idea for creating cherry blossoms with a newspaper stamp.

You’ll need construction paper, crayons, newspaper, paint, and a paper plate.

First, use a crayon to draw the cherry tree trunk on the construction paper.

Next, put some paint on the paper plate.

A single color looks nice, but I recommend using two colors so you can enjoy watching them blend.

Finally, take some paint with a crumpled piece of newspaper and dab it onto the paper like a stamp—your cherry blossoms in full bloom are complete!

Spring Stroll Bag

Introducing a handmade walk bag for storing the treasures you find on your strolls.

Prepare a zippered storage bag, round stickers and washi tape, raffia tape (suzuran tape), felt-tip pens, and cloth duct tape.

Stick a strip of duct tape with the child’s name on the front of the storage bag in a visible spot.

Decorate the surface of the bag freely with round stickers and washi tape.

Reinforce the upper left and right edges of the bag by sandwiching them with duct tape, then use a hole punch to make holes.

Braid the raffia tape to a length that fits over the children’s shoulders, thread it through the holes in the bag, and you’re done.

A bed for Little Broad Bean made of cotton

The picture book Sora Mame-kun’s Bed is hugely popular even among two-year-olds.

Here’s a craft activity using that book as a theme: making Sora Mame-kun’s bed out of cotton.

Prepare green construction paper, cotton, glue, and a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of Sora Mame-kun.

Cut the green construction paper into the shape of a pod to create the base.

Apply glue to the pod, then attach the cotton so it has a nice, fluffy volume all over.

Have the children draw Sora Mame-kun’s facial expression with crayons and stick him onto the cotton bed to finish.

It’s best to adjust the amount of glue together with the teacher as you go.
