Make it with a plastic-bag stamp! Here’s a craft perfect for spring: a flower field.

First, tie the bottom of a plastic bag and turn it inside out, then blow in some air and tie it closed.

Stamp it onto construction paper to create flower shapes! Use lots of colors to make a whole flower field.

Add glitter or any decorations you like—they’ll look adorable.

Origami • Ant

Hardworking and strong enough to carry things heavier than their own bodies! Let’s make an ant out of origami.

You’ll need origami paper in colors like black or gray, plus a pen and round stickers.

Ants become active from spring to summer, so you probably see them often when you go for a walk.

There are also many songs and picture books about ants! Making an ant with origami at such times is recommended because it helps clarify the aim of the activity.

The steps are simple and easy to follow! Drawing the legs and eyes will make it even cuter.

strawberry

How to fold an origami strawberry! Even 3- and 4-year-olds can easily make a flat strawberry with a single sheet

Let’s make it with a single sheet of origami! Here are some strawberry ideas.

All you need is origami paper in red or pink, plus crayons or colored pencils.

Strawberries, a favorite among children, are in season from March to late April in spring.

Many preschools and households probably do food education activities with a strawberry theme, right? Let’s try making a strawberry out of origami—one bite of a real strawberry fills your mouth with juice, and its sweet aroma and flavor are so appealing.

This idea is recommended because the steps are simple.

After you finish, use crayons or colored pencils to color the calyx and the seeds.

Mechanical wall

Karakuri Hekimen April #KarakuriHekimen

Spin it with a twirl and cherry blossoms bloom! Here’s an idea for a mechanical (karakuri) wall display.

Adding a little mechanism to the wall will make kids even more excited to come to the daycare! Let’s create a karakuri wall perfect for spring.

You’ll need: base paper, thick paper, pens, scissors, a ruler, a compass, and a craft knife.

Making it together with the children is great too—it lets them experience a sense of accomplishment and togetherness.

Be sure to give it a try.

Let’s make the cherry blossoms burst into full bloom!

wiggly inchworm

[Easy Spring Craft Idea] Wiggly Paper Caterpillar 🐛💕 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #FutureNurseryTeachers #TeacherLife #WithKids #ConstructionPaper #PaperCraft #PaperProject

A wiggly caterpillar you can make with construction paper! It’s perfect for spring crafts.

First, stick double-sided tape onto the construction paper and cut it with scissors.

Try to keep the strips as even as possible, cutting up to just before the tape.

After you peel off the tape backing, make loops with the cut strips and attach them.

Put double-sided tape on the caterpillar’s face section as well, and make a loop there in the same way.

Finally, attach the facial features, and you’re done! For the face parts, it’s cute to have the kids draw them themselves, adjusting to their age.

Twisting Soap Bubbles

[Preschool Teacher] Easy Handmade Toy! How to Make a Spinning Bubble Wand [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Make and play! Here’s an idea for unbreakable, twirling soap bubbles.

You’ll need holographic origami paper, round stickers, a straw, scissors, reinforcement ring stickers, a bamboo skewer, and tape.

First, cut the holographic origami paper into 5 mm strips and attach eight strips to a round sticker.

Cut four slits in the straw and apply a reinforcement ring sticker.

After adhering the straw and holographic paper together, thread them onto the bamboo skewer.

Tape the top in place, and you’re done!

Accordion-folded butterfly

How to make a cute 3D accordion butterfly from a single sheet of origami! An easy folding method even for 2- and 3-year-old preschoolers [Sora’s Origami]

A beautiful silhouette is the highlight! Here’s an idea for an accordion-fold butterfly.

Accordion folding creates fine pleats by making alternating creases in the paper.

When you open the accordion-folded paper, it takes on a fan-like shape, and by using this technique you can make three-dimensional shapes and items with movement—highly recommended! You can complete an accordion butterfly with just a single sheet of origami paper in your favorite color or pattern, so it’s easy to get started.

Definitely give it a try!
