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

Make it with an envelope! Oni (demon) mask/hat

@chooobo2

New for this year! Making an Oni (ogre) headpiece. Using a No. 2 (long) envelope, you can wear it and have fun—perfect for Setsubun. Stamp paint onto the envelope with a water balloon in any colors you like. (Using multiple colors looks beautiful.) For the hair, just crumple up tissue paper and glue it on. Draw the horns and eyes however you like. Note: Once the paint dries, the envelope’s opening can curl. We recommend folding the opening inward and gluing it down. Also, be sure to cut out the oni’s mouth only after the paint has fully dried. If you stamp with paint before it dries or after cutting it out, the envelope can wrinkle easily. Tip: You can adjust the steps to suit ages 2–5. Try it in a way that fits your class and developmental levels!Setsubun craftDemon maskMade in FebruarySetsubunSetsubun Festival

Let’s make an ogre (oni) headpiece using a Kaku-2 size envelope as the base! First, cut along the fold on just one side edge of the envelope.

Once cut, seal the flap, place the envelope horizontally with the cut side facing down, and draw a half-circle where the face opening will be.

Next, fold both corners on the uncut side into triangles and secure them with tape, then color the entire envelope in your favorite color.

After coloring, cut along the half-circle line.

Attach the oni face and horns made from construction paper, as well as the hair parts made by gluing crumpled tissue paper onto a cloud-shaped base.

Finally, punch holes on both sides of the half-circle, thread an elastic cord through, and you’re done!

The most supremely cute! – Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu

This is a fun snowman craft where the paint bleeds into patterns! Brush water onto the surface of a snowman-shaped piece of construction paper, then dab on your favorite colors of paint.

Once the paint dries, draw the snowman’s face and glue on a paper bucket to finish.

Prepare paints and construction paper in various colors so children can enjoy choosing their colors.

The way the paint bleeds changes depending on how much water you mix with it, so be sure to observe the differences.

Colorful Oni Made with Balloons

Since Setsubun is coming up, I made an oni (demon) out of balloons.

Here’s an ogre craft idea made by sticking face and horn parts cut from construction paper, plus yarn hair, onto inflated balloons.

Prepare colorful balloons, have an adult inflate them and tie the necks.

After your ogres are finished, you can tie string to the balloon necks and hang them from the ceiling as decorations.

If you treat the hanging ogres like targets, you can enjoy bean-throwing; try making “beans” out of newspaper and have fun.

Use balloons in a variety of colors to express your own unique ogres.

A snowman with tissues as the star

It’s a fun idea that lets you enjoy the process of shaping while moving your hands.

Stuff a transparent plastic bag with crumpled tissues.

Once it’s about half full, secure it tightly with a rubber band, then fill the remaining half with more tissues.

Close the bag firmly and tape it so nothing comes out.

Tape the corners as well to give it the rounded look characteristic of a snowman.

Twist two different-colored pipe cleaners together and wrap them around the spot where you secured the rubber band.

Use round stickers to make the face, and finish by adding a construction paper hat.

Let your child choose their favorite colors for the paper and pipe cleaners to create their very own snowman!

Fluffy creation with colors that rub off

http://www.lemon8-app.com

This is a project that lets kids enjoy making art while playing with the fluffy feel of cotton.

First, scribble on aluminum foil with crayons, then rub cotton over the scribbles.

Like magic, the crayon color transfers onto the cotton.

Attach the colored cotton to construction paper to make the snowman’s body.

Add eyes, a nose, and a hat, then draw the arms and falling snow to complete a cute snowman.

Scribbling with crayons, the surprising way white cotton picks up color, the tactile finger sensations, and watching the snowman come together—all are delightful ideas kids will love engaging with!

[Stencil] Pom-Pom Snowman

[Wall activity] Dab with a pom-pom to add color! Snowman stencil [Winter craft]

How about expressing a snowman using a stencil you can enjoy by dabbing with a sponge like a stamp? If you use a clear file as the base, it will resist moisture and can be reused many times.

Make two circles of different sizes for the snowman, and for the snowflakes around the snowman, you can easily create neat stencil templates using a craft punch.

The key to stenciling is not to press the sponge too hard—dab lightly with a gentle tapping motion.

Finally, draw the snowman’s face and make a hat and other accessories from colored paper to stick on.

Resist Painting: Hat and Gloves

Crayon-resist Art: Perfect winter crafts for 4- to 5-year-olds! A preschool teacher explains how to make hats and mittens.

Let’s enjoy a crayon-resist painting activity using crayons and watercolor! Prepare two sheets of white drawing paper.

On one sheet, draw the shape of a hat; on the other, draw two glove shapes.

Have the children freely draw patterns on the hat and gloves with crayons.

Once they’re done, have them paint over the drawings with watercolor.

By keeping the paint watery, the crayon won’t be covered and will resist the paint, making the patterns stand out.

Finally, use yarn to make and attach the pom-pom on the hat and the string connecting the gloves, and it’s complete!
