Crafting with toilet paper rolls ★ Easy! Setsubun ★ How to make a stylish and cute Red Oni! ~Red Oni Edition~ Perfect for Setsubun decorations ♪ Oni out~ ♪ Fortune in~ ♪ Let’s do bean throwing ★ reuse.recycle ★

Let’s try making Setsubun decorations using recycled materials! Many teachers may be thinking about creating oni (ogre) crafts for Setsubun.

This time, let’s make wonderful pieces using toilet paper rolls that we usually throw away.

You’ll need toilet paper rolls, origami in various colors, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, a pencil, a black permanent marker, and a white correction pen or white permanent marker.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, so even children in infant classes can give it a try while arranging the craft together with their teacher.

Making oni masks

Making Oni Masks with 2-Year-Olds [Yaizu Preschool]

Let’s make oni masks to wear for Setsubun! As a first step, cut the base shapes for the oni’s face and hair from construction paper.

Next, cut out the parts for the eyes, nose, fangs, cheeks, and horns, and pre-cut short pieces of yarn for the hair.

Adults can handle the prep, but it might be nice to let the children do it since it’s good practice with scissors.

Once everything is ready, glue each part onto the face base.

After the oni’s face is complete, attach it to the mask base to finish! The mask base should be prepared by an adult in advance.

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!

Oni Mobile

This is a mobile featuring an ogre hanging from a holly-and-sardine frame.

You can make it with wooden sticks or chopsticks, string, and construction paper.

Let’s start by making the holly-sardine frame.

Tie string to both ends of a wooden stick, leave some length, and knot the strings together into one.

Attach a sardine head made from construction paper to either the left or right side, and decorate the remaining length of the stick with holly leaves cut from construction paper at equal intervals.

Hang about three strings down from the stick, and attach ogres and beans made from construction paper to those strings to finish.

Setsubun wreath made with origami

[Setsubun Origami] Setsubun Wreath (Oni/Demon, Ehomaki Sushi Roll, Plum Blossoms, Bean Pouch)

Here’s an idea for a Setsubun wreath made entirely from origami.

You’ll make it in parts: the wreath base, the oni (demon), ehomaki roll, plum blossoms, and a bean holder.

For the wreath base, fold an origami sheet into a triangle, then align the right corner with the top corner to make one part; make eight of these parts and assemble them into a circle.

For the oni, use two sheets of origami and make the face and body separately.

Don’t forget to make the horns and clothing.

For the ehomaki, use the zabuton fold, color the edge black, and draw the fillings.

For the plum blossoms, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner; open and squash the folded parts to shape the petals.

For the bean holder, fold the top left and right corners down diagonally, fold the top corner down again, then fold the two bottom corners up diagonally to finish.

Glue all the parts onto the base to complete a cute wreath.

Bean-throwing play with empty boxes

Before you throw away the empty box! Bean-throwing game ♪ BEAN SOWING GAME!

How about a bean-throwing game idea that turns an empty box you’d normally throw away into a fun toy? It’s perfect for indoor play in February.

Fix the box lid upright with duct tape or similar so it stands vertically.

Line the bottom of the box with colored construction paper, and stick a paper-made oni (demon) face and pants on the inside of the lid.

For hair, use small pieces of colorful origami paper for a fun look.

Using shiny, reflective origami will also get kids excited.

Make paper balls by crumpling origami, then throw them at the oni.

If they land inside the box, you win!
