Hula Girls and Hibiscus

[Craft Idea] Hula Girls and Hibiscus (August Summer) (Wall Decorations) (OT, Senior Recreation, Daycare, Early Childhood Education) (Origami) (Flowers) (DIY Papercraft)

How about a wall decoration with hula girls and hibiscus flowers that makes you feel like you’ve escaped to a warm southern island? It’s a great idea to give older adults—who may find travel difficult—a taste of a trip and a bit of summer mood.

Use construction paper or origami to make hula girls dancing the hula, along with lots of hibiscus flowers, and create a lively wall display! For the hibiscus blooms, it’s also recommended to take apart Hawaiian leis or artificial flowers sold at 100-yen shops and reuse the pieces.

You can even incorporate them into parts of the hula girls’ outfits.

And while admiring this wall decoration, why not give hula dancing a try yourself?

Easy! Morning glory curtain

Kimie Gangi Summer Wall Display: “Morning Glory Curtain” – Super Easy! Origami Morning Glories #morningglory #asagao #JulyWallDisplay #AugustWallDisplay #SeniorRecreation #origami

Speaking of summer flowers, morning glories are the classic choice.

A curtain of morning glories can transform a room into a cool, refreshing space.

First, let’s make the petals, leaves, and vines.

Since the center of the flower is white, it’s ideal if you can prepare gradient-colored paper.

Consider using a variety of colors—blue, purple, red, and pink.

The leaves near the tip of the extended vine are small, so try making them in different sizes.

For the vine, cut the colored paper in a spiral, like a mosquito-repellent coil.

Once all the parts are ready, paste them onto a long, narrow sheet of colored construction paper—imagining it as a curtain—to create a scene of morning glories in full bloom.

Goldfish Swaying in the Breeze

[Craft Idea] Goldfish Paper Craft (July/August Summer) (Senior Recreation) (Early Childhood Education) (Wall Decoration) (Moving, Easy) (Creative) (Psychiatric OT)

Goldfish are a classic summer motif, often used in designs for yukata.

Let’s create a decoration that captures the image of goldfish swimming so people can feel a bit cooler.

Make soft-looking goldfish out of tissue paper and hang them with thread, then decorate around them with elements that suggest leaves and ripples.

The key point is that the goldfish are suspended by thread: when a breeze hits them, they sway, evoking the motion of swimming and enhancing the refreshing, cool atmosphere.

Colorful cicada

Cicada crafts (August crafts) (seasonal crafts) (easy crafts) (recreation for seniors) (colored paper crafts) (wall decorations) (creative activities) (childcare) (insect crafts)

Cicadas start chirping all at once when summer arrives.

While many people may find them noisy, they’re also something that really makes you feel that summer has come.

How about using decorations inspired by cicadas—symbols of summer—to evoke that sense of the season? Real cicadas often have muted colors, but if you make decorative versions with colorful materials that don’t exist in nature, you can create a festive, eye-catching atmosphere.

Using prints with English lettering might also give the display a stylish feel.

Fireworks layered with teardrop shapes

Fireworks wall craft

This craft is perfect for the summer fireworks season and easy to incorporate into day service activities.

Fold your favorite color construction paper into thirds and cut it into a teardrop shape.

Fold each teardrop in half vertically, then glue the sides together to make it three-dimensional.

Make lots of these pieces to form the fireworks.

To make them pop against a black background, feel free to use vivid colors like red, yellow, and orange, or shiny origami paper for extra flair! For parts other than the teardrop shapes, you can use round stickers to save time—give it a try.
