First, cut the chopsticks and secure them together with yarn.

Next, wrap the yarn around the chopsticks.

Changing yarn colors as you wrap makes it extra cute! Finally, tie off the yarn on the back to finish.

Hang it up for a natural look that brings a calm, cozy feeling! Try using your favorite colors and different yarn textures or lengths.

Fun to paint and create with paints! Here’s how to make an ice rink artwork.

First, lightly paint light blue watercolor over drawing paper.

Crumple a piece of plastic wrap, open it up, and place it on the paper.

Once it dries, peel off the wrap and you’ll see an icy pattern.

Next, make little figures to place on the ice rink using drawing paper or similar materials.

If you use a swiping technique for the clothing patterns, each figure will have its own unique character.

Gluing embroidery thread onto the rink is recommended—it looks just like the trails left after skating.

Attach the finished pieces to the rink, and if you mount it on a larger sheet of paper, it can become a wall display.

Give it a try!

Heart mobile

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

These heart mobiles are perfect for Valentine’s Day decorations.

Make them with the kids and get everyone in the spirit! The main steps involve cutting and pasting construction paper, so it’s an ideal craft for five-year-olds who can use scissors.

For the slightly more complex steps, it’s best if the teacher demonstrates with a sample—works great.

You can also adapt the heart-shaped mobiles into other shapes like stars or diamonds and combine them to add variety and create a livelier display.

[Cardboard] Oni Den-den Daiko (Hand Drum)

[Setsubun/Craft] How to Make an Oni Den-Den Daiko? Easy with Cardboard!

Let’s use cardboard to make unique oni (demon) pellet drums.

For this craft, use cardboard for the oni’s face and horns, a pair of disposable chopsticks for the handle, and button-tipped twine for the parts that strike the drum.

The step of cutting parts from the cardboard should be done in advance by a teacher or another adult.

Cut red or blue colored paper to the same size as the face, then decorate with construction paper or yarn to add features like eyes, mouth, and hair.

Children can show their creativity by changing facial expressions, the oni’s color, and the yarn color to give each piece its own personality.

On Setsubun, why not play with the drum and make some noise?

Easy! Heart Stick

[Valentine’s Craft] A Heart Stick That 3-, 4-, and 5-Year-Olds Can Make

When you shake the stick, the beads inside the heart jingle and look adorable.

If you bring this to a Valentine’s event, something wonderful might happen! You’ll need construction paper, beads, an OPP bag, and a straw.

First, cut the construction paper into a heart shape and cut out the inside as well to make a frame.

You’ll need two of these frames, one for each side.

Put the beads into the OPP bag and seal it, then attach it to the heart frame.

Next, glue a straw to the bottom of the heart as a handle and place the remaining heart frame on top.

Tie a ribbon around the straw for an even cuter finish.

Oni Made with Paper Cups

Easy Craft: “Oni Paper Cup” [Preschool Activity / Setsubun Craft]

Let’s defeat the ogre inside you! Here’s how to make an ogre toy using paper cups.

First, mark four evenly spaced points—top, bottom, left, and right—on one paper cup.

Make small slits about 1 centimeter at each mark.

Next, hook rubber bands into the slits so they cross in a plus sign.

Draw an ogre’s face on construction paper with crayons, attach it to the paper cup with the rubber bands, and then stack another paper cup over it—that’s it! It’s also cute to draw a body on the second cup.

Press the head to launch it and try defeating the ogre inside yourself!
