[Childcare] Cute to display! A collection of wall decoration ideas you’ll want to make in February

A bubble art snowman

Soap-bubble art creates unique patterns.

This time, let’s use the technique to make a snowman.

First, prepare some colored bubble solution.

Just mix soap solution into white paint thinned with water.

Dip a toilet paper roll core into the bubble solution and use it as a stamp so that two circles connect.

These will be the snowman’s head and body.

Once it’s dry, draw the face, hands, and a scarf with pens or crayons to finish a cute snowman.

popping heart

The hearts pop out! Let me introduce a three-dimensional origami piece.

It may look difficult to make, but once you score the folds, all that’s left is to collapse it—so kids can try it too! Once your origami paper is ready, fold it in half both ways to make a square and create a cross-shaped crease.

Open the paper back up, then bring the bottom edge up to the center crease and press only the middle with your finger to make a small crease.

Next, align the bottom edge with this new crease and make another small crease the same way.

Repeat this process on the top edge as well.

From here, we’ll move on to collapsing: first, fold the top and bottom edges along the outermost creases.

Don’t fold the entire length—press only at the center—and then fold the paper in half so the creases line up.

At this point, you should see hearts on both sides.

Next, rotate and fold it in half so the hearts sit side by side.

Glue them together so they don’t come apart, and you’re done!

Origami Mumps

[Origami] How to Make an Otafuku for Setsubun – February Origami – An Easy Folding Method Kids Can Do [Origami]

Would you like to make an Otafuku, which is said to bring good fortune and stands in contrast to oni, considered symbols of malevolent energy? It’s a simple process and a kid-friendly idea! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to create creases, then unfold it back to the original shape.

Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the center to make a crease.

Unfold that corner, then fold the bottom corner again along the new crease, and use the top crease to make a wrapped fold.

Fold the right corner next to it in the same way to create Okame’s hair.

Finally, fold the remaining corners in toward the center to form Otafuku’s characteristic rounded outline—and you’re done.

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.

How to make a fluffy, fuzzy snowman

[Snowman] 'How to Make a Fluffy Snowman' Winter craft, February wall decoration, preschool craft, senior care recreation, How to make a fluffy snowman

Stick double-sided tape onto a strip-cut piece of white construction paper, then place cotton on top.

Roll it into a ring and secure it! Connect two of these, add a hat and facial features, and you’ll have a fluffy snowman! Since attaching the hat on top of the cotton is tricky, it’s best to glue it to the paper base before adding the cotton.

For the facial features, bend and twist pipe cleaners to make them.

Depending on the child who makes it, each snowman will have a different expression, resulting in a set of unique, characterful creations.

Heart-shaped woven basket

[Valentine Craft] February Valentine Heart Woven Basket [Easy Craft] Valentine work

Let’s make a heart-shaped basket using soft, textured reversible crepe paper.

It’s a fun idea that lets you experience a bit of weaving! First, cut the parts from the reversible crepe paper: two pieces measuring 24 cm × 9 cm for the basket, one piece measuring 24 cm × 2 cm for the handle, and one piece measuring 24 cm × 1 cm for the decorative ribbon.

Fold each 24 cm × 9 cm piece in half so the two sides show different colors, then make cuts from the fold at widths of 3 cm and 1 cm, respectively.

Leave the top 3 cm uncut.

Weave the slits over and under alternately, layering them to create a lattice pattern and form the basket.

Once woven, round off the corners to shape it into a heart, attach the handle and ribbon, and you’re done.

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.
