[For 5-year-olds] Let’s Make It! A Collection of Recommended Craft Ideas for February

Easy with just one sheet! Snowman

[Origami] Easy snowman with a single sheet ⛄ How to make a paper snowman #snowman #Christmas #snowman (yukidaruma) #snowman #snowman #xuěrén (snow person) #howtofold #origami #origami (JP) #zhǐzhǐ (paper folding)

The charm of this origami is how easy it is—you can make a snowman with just one sheet of white paper.

There are many small, detailed folds, so try tackling it together with your child.

Each step is simple, but because it involves lots of precise finger work, staying focused is important.

As you go, guide them with prompts like “This part is next,” or demonstrate each step so they can work with confidence.

At the end, draw the face with a pen or add patterns, and each snowman will have its own unique expression.

When you line up the finished pieces for display, you can clearly see how different their expressions are—even though they’re all snowmen—making them even more fun to look at.

Snowman with a straw stamp

How to make a snowman with straw stamping: a winter craft for ages 3 and up

Making snowmen with straws is a big hit with kids.

Prepare a sheet of construction paper as the base, then draw two circles—one large and one small—on white paper, cut them out with scissors, and paste them onto the base.

It might be cute to make a hat for the snowman to wear.

Use crayons to draw the snowman’s facial expression and arms.

Cut small slits into the tip of a straw, then stamp all over the paper like snowflakes to finish.

Try adding more paint colors or adjusting the amount of paint as you create—have fun with it!

Will this boost your child’s concentration!? A heart-shaped objet that’s addictive to make ♥ Perfect for Valentine’s photos! Materials and tools • Flower paper (tissue paper) about 3 cm × 3 cm • Smooth, soft clay 1/4 pack (using DAISO) • For decoration: chenille stems (pipe cleaners) or ribbon • Clear file folder • Clay tool set or a tool you can poke with, like chopsticks that aren’t too sharp What kids can help with ✔ Kneading the paper clay and shaping it ✔ Inserting fabric or flower paper ⚠ Please work carefully to avoid injuries My 4-year-old son loves this series! My 1-year-old daughter could help a bit too, and we enjoyed it together! Once it dries, some tissue paper might come off, so if that bothers you, glue it back on with paste or craft glue after drying 😊 Also, after it dries, if you stick flower paper cut into a heart shape on the back, it’ll look even cuter! ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ I want to preserve my kids’ memories in a cute way! I love making things! ✂ I’m a late-20s/early-30s mom with a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’d be so happy if you support me with likes ♥ and follows! ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼#ParentingMomParenting#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIY#diyworkEducationalHandmade

The texture of tissue paper is so fun! Here’s how to make a papier-mâché clay and tissue paper objet that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.

First, cut the tissue paper into 3 cm × 3 cm squares.

Using a cookie cutter heart or similar, shape the air-dry clay into a heart.

Press down from above with a clear case or similar to neaten the heart’s shape.

Next, cover the heart shape completely with the tissue paper.

Use a pointed stick to press the pieces in.

Once it’s dry, your objet is complete! It’s adorable as a decoration, but if you poke a hole at the top of the heart before it dries, you can thread a string through and turn it into an ornament.

Be sure to try making it with kids!

Heart lattice knitting & papercutting

How about making a heart card using a lattice weave—paper weaving that alternates long, narrow strips of colored paper up and down, like yarn? The idea is to combine a heart-shaped cutout card with a piece of lattice weaving attached from the back.

You can write a message on the heart-shaped cutout, or use cardboard or a paper tube as a stamp for a cute touch.

Using just two colors for the lattice-weave strips works fine, but the more colors you add, the more colorful and charming it will turn out.

Easy to make with a plastic bottle cap! Here’s how to create a super cute cupcake.

First, wrap your favorite patterned washi tape around the bottle cap.

Apply white craft glue to the inside bottom of the cap and stuff in some tissue paper to look like cream.

Add more white glue around the tissue and wrap yarn around and around the outside.

Finally, decorate the “cream” with beads, pom-poms, or other embellishments—and you’re done! If you use fluffy yarn, it will look even more like real cream.

Wrap it up as a gift for an extra-cute touch, and definitely give it a try!

♬ Find you in the dark feat. Nenashi – Ovall

Here’s how to make an oni-themed cup-and-ball toy that’s perfect for Setsubun! First, trace the shape of a colored paper cup onto construction paper.

Cut it out about 1 cm inside the traced line, then make small vertical slits along the inner edge.

Fold the slits and attach the paper to the cup with double-sided tape.

Secure it well with tape so it doesn’t come off.

Add the oni face parts made from colored construction paper.

Next, cut a toilet paper roll to a size that fits inside the paper cup.

Stuff some flyers or scrap paper inside.

Attach the parts to make an ehomaki (lucky sushi roll), and finally tape the paper cup oni and the ehomaki together.

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

Cute for Setsubun decorations! Here’s how to make a Setsubun wreath that’s perfect for the wall.

First, cut out the center of a paper plate and paint the remaining ring yellow with paint.

Next, tear black origami paper into pieces inspired by an oni (demon) pants pattern and glue them on.

Make parts like the oni using colored construction paper; for the face, you can use stickers or draw it yourself for fun.

Stick the parts wherever you like on the paper plate.

Create a tanzaku (slip of paper) where you write about the “oni” inside yourself, sizing it to fit the opening in the center of the plate.

Attach a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) to the tanzaku, fasten it from the back of the paper plate, and you’re done!
