[For 4-year-olds] Enjoy February! A Collection of Craft Ideas

A yarn garland made by wrapping

Have fun playing with yarn! Here’s a super cute heart craft to try.

It’s also great as a Valentine’s Day gift.

First, cut cardboard into a heart shape.

Attach a bit of double-sided tape, then wrap the cardboard with yarn in your favorite colors.

The more yarn you wrap, the fluffier and cuter it gets.

You can even connect them into a garland to decorate your wall.

Make them in different colors and enjoy creating them with children while coming up with fun ways to play!

Easy-to-make chocolate magnet

Perfect as a Valentine's Day gift, too 🥰👍CanvaIncredibly wonderful#PR#CanvaPartnerValentine's DayChocolate#ValentineChocolate#HomemadeSweets

I’ll show you how to make chocolate magnets that look just like the real thing! First, put some wood glue onto a magnet sheet.

Mix in acrylic paint to match the look of chocolate.

Use a spatula to spread it so it has a little thickness.

Add decorations on top and press them lightly so they stick.

Once it’s dry, cut it out in a chocolate-like shape, and you’re done! Wrap it up and it makes a perfect gift.

For decorations, get creative with craft parts, beads, and more.

You can make cupcakes out of plastic bottle caps! Here’s a cute Valentine’s craft idea.

Stick your favorite washi tape around a plastic bottle cap, then apply wood glue to the inside bottom of the cap and stuff it with tissue paper to look like cream.

Next, add wood glue around the tissue paper and wrap yarn around and around.

Finally, decorate with beads or pom-poms, and it’s done! Thicker yarn makes it look more like real cream, so it’s recommended.

Snowflakes made with yarn

Perfect for winter! Here’s a cute snowflake craft you can make with yarn.

First, cut three chopsticks into shorter pieces, then tie the three sticks together with yarn.

Secure them with wood glue, and after wrapping each stick just a few times to start, continue wrapping the yarn around each stick in sequence.

Once you’ve wrapped to your liking, tie it off at the back to finish! It also looks adorable made with small tree branches, so that’s recommended too.

Using four sticks gives it a different look, so try making them with kids and have fun getting creative together.

Mittens made by threading yarn

Warm Yarn Play with Gloves – A Craft Activity That Uses Fine Motor Skills – #play #childcare #nurseryteacher #children #athomeplay #craftactivity #artsandcrafts #yarn #walldecor #cardboard #craft #preschooler #gloves #lacing #video

These are gloves you can make by threading yarn—perfect for kids to enjoy using their fine motor skills.

Cut colored construction paper into the shape of a glove, then punch holes along the edge with a hole punch.

After that, have fun threading yarn through the holes! Kids can explore by weaving through this hole and that one, imagining where to thread next.

Changing yarn colors partway through can make the piece even more unique.

It’s a great February craft for cold winter days, letting children work with their hands indoors—give it a try!

Setsubun kendama craft 👹Made in FebruarySetsubun craftNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery school#Nursery School Craft#Childcare Crafting#HandmadeToys#Kendamapaper cupPaper cup craft

♬ Find you in the dark feat. Nenashi – Ovall

It looks like a demon is eating an ehomaki! I’ll show you how to make a perfect, super-cute Setsubun kendama.

First, trace the paper cup onto construction paper.

Cut about 1 cm inside the traced line.

Make small vertical slits along the inner line, then fold up along the line.

When attaching it to the paper cup with double-sided tape, apply the tape from the top side.

Attach the oni (demon) parts made from colored construction paper to match the template as well.

Next, put a flyer (scrap paper) inside a toilet paper roll cut to a size that fits into the paper cup.

Let’s attach the ehomaki parts.

Finally, tape a string to the back of the paper cup and to the ehomaki—and you’re done!

Setsubun wreath

@buchiko_hoiku

🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time! A Setsubun craft for toddlers 👹 Isn’t this tiger-pattern wreath so cute? 🫶🏻 I keep making wreath crafts 😂 I guess I really like making wreaths 🤭 lol The wreath doesn’t have to be yellow—make it unique with your favorite colors like pink or blue 🙆🏻‍♀️ Cutting out the oni and the god of fortune uses scissors, so it’s great practice for continuous cutting ✌🏻 At the end, think about the “oni” inside yourself that you want to chase away and write it on a strip of paper. It helps kids understand the meaning of Setsubun and join in without being scared of the oni ✊🏻 And!! This craft is also available as a kit for purchase 🌟 Craft kits saved me when I was actively teaching, so now I want to help teachers who are struggling! I make each one with that in mind ✂️ Links to Mercari and BASE are in my profile! I sell other crafts too, so I’d be happy if you take a look 👀 A follow would make me even happier 🥴💕 lol Please try making it yourself 🌈 I’d love to hear your “I made it!” reports—they really motivate me 🥹❤️‍🔥 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share ideas you can easily copy from introduction to crafting ♬︎ Likes ♥, saves 𖤘, and follows 𖤐 would make me cry with joy 😂 lol Comments are also very welcome 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherWinter Craft#Wall CreationToddler CraftsPlay that expands from picture booksSetsubun craft

The tiger pattern is super cute! Here’s how to make a demon wreath that’s perfect for Setsubun.

First, cut out the center of a paper plate and paint the rim yellow.

Next, tear black construction paper to look like the pattern on an oni’s pants.

Glue it onto the plate and trim off any parts that stick out.

Make any oni parts or other decorations you like from construction paper and glue them on.

Then, create a strip of paper sized to fit the hole in the middle of the plate, and write about the “oni” inside you that you want to drive away.

Attach a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) with cellophane tape, hang it from the plate, and you’re done! It’s also great practice for using scissors, so give it a try!
