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

[Bleeding Watercolor] Perfectly Round Oni

Here’s a cute round ogre craft idea that looks great on the wall.

First, paint blue, red, and orange on a sheet of white construction paper.

Once it’s dry, cut out a circle to make the ogre’s base.

Next, on a separate yellow sheet, paint the ogre’s pants pattern with black paint, cut it into a semicircle so it covers about half of the base, and glue it on.

Then glue on the hair and horn pieces cut from other paper, and draw the face using round stickers or pens to finish.

Adding arms and legs would make it even cuter!

Heart stamp

[By Age] 4 Cute Heart Crafts 💝 [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Creative activities using fingertips help nurture the senses of two-year-olds and enhance their concentration.

For example, how about trying a “heart stamp” craft for Valentine’s Day on February 14? As shown in the reference video, it’s easy to make with simple materials, so it’s an approachable activity.

Finger-pressed stamps become even more fun just by changing the colors.

Plus, when teachers join in and use handprints to form hearts, the children create memorable, lovely pieces.

Let’s bring a warm atmosphere to everyday childcare through heartfelt creative activities.

The fluffy cotton looks like snow and is super cute! Here’s how to make a snow wreath recommended for 2-year-olds.

Adults should handle the cutting.

First, cut out the center of a paper plate.

Make lots of little cotton balls by rolling cotton.

Apply wood glue to the paper plate, then stick on the rolled cotton balls.

Next, put a little paint on your finger and dab it like a stamp to add color to the cotton.

Finally, attach a string to the back of the snowman parts so it can be hung, and you’re done! It’s also adorable if the children use round stickers or crayons to make the snowman’s face.

Perfect for February! Here’s how to make a fluffy, cute heart wreath.

First, fold a paper plate in half and cut it so that, when opened, it forms a heart shape.

Cut out the center of the plate as well.

An adult should handle the cutting.

Next, wrap two colors of tissue paper vertically around the paper plate.

After spreading glue over the entire plate, crumple small pieces of tissue paper and stick them on.

Add a ribbon and a loop for hanging, and it’s done! The sticking and crumpling steps are especially fun for two-year-olds, so be sure to try making it together with your child.
