[Childcare] August Crafts: Cute Ideas to Make in Summer

Perfect for summer festivals! Yo-yo

[Preschool Craft] Perfect for summer festival crafts! Easy origami yo-yo tutorial♪

Let’s make a festival-style water yo-yo using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper in half into a square twice, then unfold it and fold each corner inward toward the center.

After folding one section outward, tuck each corner inside to form the shape.

Finally, make a small cut with scissors to create the yo-yo’s mouth/opening, and you’re done.

Add patterns, round stickers, or drawings to create your own original yo-yo! Make colorful yo-yos and liven up the festival.

Easy Origami Eggplant

Eggplant with origami — it’s easy. Origami for July, August, and summer. Eggplant (nasu).

Let me introduce a delicious-looking eggplant made of origami—perfect for summer vegetables.

Prepare one sheet each of purple and light purple origami and let’s get started.

Fold the light purple sheet to create the base of the eggplant.

Partway through, cut the dark purple origami into a smaller square and glue it onto the light purple sheet—this is the key step.

That part will become the eggplant’s calyx.

Keep making sharp creases as you shape the eggplant.

Once it’s finished, it’s also fun to draw an eggplant field on poster paper and stick on the completed eggplants to enjoy with the children.

Fluffy ice cream

[Mysterious Art] Fluffy Ice Cream #preschoolideas #craft #DIY #daycare #artsandcrafts #indoorplay #making #kindergartenteacher

Recommended when you want to make a three-dimensional piece! Here’s a fluffy ice cream idea.

Mix shaving foam with glue and a coloring agent to make foam.

Use a bit less glue than shaving foam to keep it fluffy.

Cut construction paper into a cone shape, draw a pattern, and attach it to the base.

Pile the foam on top of the cone to represent the ice cream, then add stickers or drawings in the blank spaces on the backing paper to finish.

Sprinkling powdered pastel on the foam as a topping might make it look pretty.

Ice Cream Kendama

[Craft] Let's make and play — Ice Cream Kendama

Delicious ice cream turned into a kendama! Here’s a craft idea where, if you succeed at the kendama, it becomes an ice cream.

Draw a cone pattern on brown construction paper and mark the middle of either long side.

Align the end of a piece of kite string with the mark and tape it down, then roll the paper into a cone shape and secure it with tape.

It’s safer to tape down the stringed area as well.

Attach the other end of the kite string to the center of a sheet of newspaper with tape, and crumple the newspaper into a ball.

Cover it with your favorite color of origami paper from the top and secure it to make the ice cream part.

Draw patterns on the ice cream, and you’re done!

It's okay to at least dream in a dream... – San Usagi

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using bubble wrap as cushioning material.

First, cut the bubble wrap into circles and stick them onto construction paper.

Be sure to leave some gaps between them.

Once you’ve painted the bubble wrap with colors, imagine them as octopuses, turtles, or fish, and use paint to add legs or heads around the bubble wrap.

Finally, stick on googly-eye stickers to finish.

It’s also cute and recommended to draw seaweed in the empty spaces or use holographic round stickers to represent bubbles in the water.

Perfect for Marine Day crafts! Let’s paint the ocean with plastic bottle stamps 🎶🫧 Preschool craft, childcare, ideas for childcare workers, making together with kids, easy craft, sea, stamps, construction paper, childcare worker

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using a plastic bottle cap stamp that even young children can enjoy easily.

The materials are super simple! All you need is construction paper, a plastic bottle cap, paint, and a paper plate.

Squeeze your favorite paint colors onto the paper plate, dab the plastic bottle cap in the paint, and then stamp it onto the construction paper—that’s it! Using two or three colors like blue and light blue makes it look beautiful.

Finally, attach shell and fish shapes made from construction paper that you prepared in advance to complete the artwork.

It’s also lovely to add motifs you folded yourself with origami.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Let’s make a summery “Sea Creatures Tapestry.” We’ll create three creatures: a fish, a jellyfish, and an octopus.

For the fish, put crumpled tissue paper into a clear plastic bag, tie it with a pipe cleaner, then secure the corners with tape.

For the jellyfish, stuff a clear plastic bag with tissue paper, shape it into a round form with tape, and attach shredded curling ribbon to make the tentacles.

Make the octopus the same way: put tissue paper in a bag and tie it with a pipe cleaner.

For the base, thread a string through a straw, wrap the straw with curling ribbon, and then attach the creatures to complete the tapestry.
