The patterns change and it’s so fun! Here are three patterned Easter bunny ideas you’ll enjoy.

Making things is exciting while you’re creating, of course, but seeing your work on display lets you savor that excitement along with a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

This time, let’s make Easter bunnies with three fun patterns that you can customize the design of.

You’ll need construction paper, a pencil, glue, scissors, and crayons or pens.

Try using brightly colored, pastel construction paper for an Easter feel.

Chick and Four-Leaf Clover

Let each child’s individuality shine! Here are some ideas featuring chicks and four-leaf clovers.

Clover motifs are beloved as symbols that bring good luck and make wishes come true.

Let’s express the hopes of moving up to a new grade through a craft activity.

You will need construction paper, crayons, white drawing paper, paint, and glue or double-sided tape.

Use hand painting with paint to make four-leaf clovers, and draw chicks and ladybugs with crayons.

Each piece will turn out as a unique, special creation!

Rapeseed flowers made with origami

Origami: Spring rapeseed flowers (nanohana) to make with a 3-year-old

The steps are simple and easy to understand! Here’s an idea for making rapeseed blossoms with origami.

Many of you may have tried making flowers by folding origami, only to find the process too complicated and confusing for children.

With this idea, you can create vibrant rapeseed blossoms using simple steps! What you’ll need: light green origami cut to half size, six pieces of yellow origami cut to quarter size, and glue or double-sided tape.

It’s also great practice for aligning corners precisely.

My one-piece dress

[Kindergartens/Daycare] May theme based on a popular picture book! “My Dress” painting and craft

Why not have fun trying a painting activity inspired by the popular children’s picture book “My Dress”? You will need rabbit parts, a triangle-shaped piece of paper, bottle caps with felt attached, paint, glue, and a pen.

First, stick felt in any shape you like onto a plastic bottle cap.

Dip the felt in paint and stamp patterns onto the triangle paper.

Once the paint is dry, glue on the face and hands.

Draw the face, add decorations around it, and you’re done! Make it colorful with your favorite colors.

Wavy 3D butterfly with fluttering wings

[Craft / Making] “Wings-Wobbling 3D Butterfly” Wall Decoration Craft – Preschool/Childcare Craft, Elderly Care Recreation

The wings sway gently and look so cute! Here’s how to make a 3D butterfly that’s perfect for spring.

First, dip a plastic bottle cap in paint and stamp it onto thin strips of colored construction paper.

You can use both sides of the cap for different effects.

Next, cut out the butterfly’s wings—which will also form its body—using scissors.

Stamp the wings as well, then fold them down the middle.

After that, bring the ends of the first stamped thin strip together to create a 3D wing shape.

Make two of these and attach them to the body wings with double-sided tape.

Finish by adding antennae with a pipe cleaner, and you’re done! These are great for wall decorations too, so try making them with the kids.

sparrow

Let’s make a chirping little bird! Here’s a sparrow craft idea.

You’ll need two sheets of brown origami paper, crayons, round stickers, and glue or double-sided tape.

Sparrows are familiar birds for children, aren’t they? Using brown origami paper, let’s create an adorable sparrow.

By drawing fine patterns with crayons and making the eyes with round stickers, children can expand their creativity.

Carefully attaching the parts with glue or double-sided tape will also help develop fine motor skills.

This slow-paced craft offers a heartwarming idea for spending calm, quality time together with your child.

Flower bed making

Creating a flowerbed is a great opportunity to get your hands in the soil and discover insects and other creatures.

In spring, try replanting the flowers in the bed together with the children! Choose a sunny spot with good air circulation and start planting.

Flowers like marigolds and sunflowers are especially hardy, making them easy and recommended for kids to grow.

When the children are planting, be sure to carefully check that there are no glass shards in the soil.

Assigning roles such as a watering duty might help nurture a sense of responsibility through caring for the plants.
