Mini love letter card

Happy Valentine 💌 Let's make a Valentine's card *•.❥ #shorts #origami

This is a Valentine’s card made by placing a message card inside tiny love letters folded from small origami paper.

Fold three mini love letters and attach them vertically to a backing sheet.

Then decorate the remaining space on the backing with heart or alphabet stickers, and it’s done.

Prepare origami paper in pink and chocolate colors.

It also looks great framed as a gift, so customizing the design is recommended.

In that case, try decorating the mini love letters with ribbons or adding character stickers for a cute touch.

Materials list, tips, and tricks ▼ (Follow @sayacky_be.child before you forget!) Materials • Paper straws (mine are from Seria) • Green paper with both sides green, like construction paper (mine is from Seria) • Newspaper (about a quarter page) • Aluminum tape (Seria, DAISO, etc.) • Small white round stickers (Seria, DAISO, etc.) Handy tools when making • Scissors • Clear tape • Pinking shears Tips • Some kids bravely throw beans, some cry and run away, and some try to protect others. You’ll see all kinds of little dramas during Setsubun bean-throwing. • I don’t want it to be just a scary event. I hope it becomes an experience that values each child’s individuality and helps them grow. • Aluminum tape is super handy—keep one on hand. When you want to create something shiny or metallic, kids absolutely love it! Nice to meet you! Let’s play like kids! I’m Sayacky, a preschool teacher and mom of two. I share activities that get both kids—and those who used to be kids—excited together!

Let’s beat the ogres with holly and sardines! Here’s a craft idea featuring holly and sardines—items that ogres dislike—to liven up Setsubun.

First, cut green wrapping sheets into the shape of holly leaves.

Using pinking shears makes the jagged edges easy.

Tape the leaves onto a paper straw with cellophane tape.

Next, crumple some newspaper into a ball and tape it to the paper straw.

Shape it like a sardine, then cut aluminum tape and wrap it around the sardine.

Finish by adding a round sticker for the sardine’s eye, and you’re done!

Heart mobile

[Craft Play] Let's make a heart mobile you can use for Valentine's Day decorations

Perfect for Valentine’s decorations! Let’s make a heart mobile using construction paper and twine.

We’ll create two types of parts, so please prepare four heart-shaped pieces of construction paper and two red and two brown strips of construction paper.

First, take the heart pieces: fold all four in half, stack them, and glue them together.

Place the twine in the center, then glue the final edges together so it forms a sphere.

For the paper strips, overlap and glue the ends of the red and brown strips at a right angle.

Then bend the remaining ends to the back and attach them in the same way.

This creates a lattice pattern at the base of the heart.

Make two of these parts, and attach them back-to-back on the same twine as the first heart.

Chocolate sticks made with construction paper

[Easy February Craft] Paper Heart Chocolates ❤️🍫 #PreschoolCrafts #PreschoolTeacher #TeachingIdeas #TeacherInTraining #TeacherLife #WithKids #ConstructionPaper #ValentinesDay #ValentineCrafts

Let’s make heart-shaped chocolate sticks that are perfect for pretend play or Valentine’s Day.

Cut construction paper into heart shapes and draw designs with crayons.

Flip the heart over, tape a stick to the back, then slip a clear bag over it to wrap it up, and you’re done.

It’s also a great idea to decorate cutely by using torn origami paper or washi tape when drawing pictures or patterns on the construction paper.

If you make chocolates in various shapes—like stars and circles—just looking at them might make you feel excited, not only for pretend play.

Recommended Valentine’s craft for 3-year-olds! Here’s how to make a heart-shaped stick card.

First, use a sponge dipped in paint or an ink pad to stamp color onto a rectangular sheet of construction paper.

Cut out two heart shapes from the paper.

After applying glue, sandwich a piece of cardboard cut into the same heart shape between the two paper hearts, attaching them to both sides.

Be sure to attach a straw as the stick.

Use an awl or similar tool to punch holes all the way around the heart.

Thread yarn through the holes.

Place the stick in a gift bag and tie it with a ribbon.

Finally, add a card, and it’s complete!

Fluffy Yarn Valentine

@soramame.sensei

#CapCutThreading (a cord/strap through a hole)Valentine's Day# developmental support (ryōiku)Educational toy

♬ A cute pop song like Valentine Kiss(964024) – TEtoTE_Music

Threading fluffy yarn is so much fun! Here’s a heart-shaped gift craft that’s perfect for 3-year-olds.

First, cut construction paper or cardstock into a heart shape.

If you draw a large heart, it’s a great chance to practice using scissors.

Next, punch holes along the edge of the heart with a hole punch.

Once the holes are made, thread yarn through any hole you like.

It’s done when you randomly lace colorful, thicker yarn through the holes! A radiating pattern looks cute too.

Thicker yarn is easier to thread, so prepare something your child can handle easily.
