A Moving Koinobori Using Only Construction Paper#AtHomePlayParent-child playwork#Koinobori

♬ An upbeat, positive and lively track for kids content, travel, tutorials, cooking.(1257447) – Lesya nZ

The climbing koinobori that moves is a surefire idea your child will love.

Fold a long sheet of construction paper in half lengthwise and widthwise.

With it folded lengthwise, fold two corners inward toward the center.

Open the folded corners and cut off the top part of the triangle.

Attach the cut-off triangular piece to the center of the long sheet of construction paper.

That completes the moving mechanism.

Make a small koinobori with a smaller piece of paper and attach it to the triangular piece—like magic, it becomes a moving koinobori.

Enjoy making and playing with this koinobori that offers time to think about why it moves up and down, as well as fun fine finger movements.

This is a fun carp streamer craft where you wrap embroidery thread round and round.

Lightly squash one end of a toilet paper roll and cut it into a tail fin shape, then attach origami paper with double-sided tape.

Make slits in any excess paper and fold it inward.

Apply double-sided tape to the body and wrap embroidery thread around and around.

Combining different colors makes it colorful and cute.

Decorate with round stickers for the eyes and scales, punch a hole and insert a straw, then finish by attaching an origami samurai helmet to complete it.

Footprint KoinoboriNEW!

Footprint Art: How to Make Koinobori (Carp Streamers) | Handprint Art petapeta-art to Capture Your Baby’s “Now”

“Footprint art” lets you record the growth of babies and young children—this time, let’s make a carp streamer (koinobori) motif! If you have siblings, try taking their footprints side by side so you can enjoy the difference in size as a keepsake of their growth.

Paint the bottoms of their feet with poster paint and press them onto drawing paper to make footprints.

Use correction pen to draw the whites of the eyes and the gills; once dry, use a permanent marker to add the pupils and eyelashes.

Cut masking tape into triangles to mimic scales and stick them on, and make a rotating arrow ornament (yaguruma) with masking tape as well and attach it.

Add decorations like streamers to finish.

Footprint art is a great way to be amazed by how much they’ve grown when you look back later—perfect for Children’s Day.

This addictive carp streamer that wiggles and stretches with a boing is a perfect craft for Children’s Day.

It looks tricky but is actually very easy, so give it a try! Cut origami paper into quarter-size pieces and make lots of parts.

Fold once in half horizontally, then once into a triangle, unfold, fold two non-adjacent corners toward the center, and fold in half again.

For the first part, fold the right side on both front and back; for the second part, fold the left side on both front and back.

Combine the first and second parts alternately to assemble the carp streamer.

How about koinobori arranged horizontally like a garland instead of vertically? Fold origami or construction paper, or cut out shapes to make koinobori.

It’s also great to decorate them by combining Japanese-patterned origami.

A koinobori whose scales change color

I tried making a carp streamer with a design that changes like a sequin T-shirt ♡ #HandmadeToys #EducationalPlay #Koinobori #PreschoolCrafts

When you stroke it with your palm, the color changes—it’s so fun! Here’s an idea for a koi nobori with scales that change color.

In recent years, you often see children’s clothing designed with sequins that change the illustration’s color when you stroke them with your hand, right? This time, let’s make a color-changing koi nobori using round stickers! You’ll need construction paper, glue, scissors, pastel-colored round stickers, and vivid-colored round stickers.

It’s a unique and delightful idea, isn’t it?

Hanging ornaments

[Cut and Paste Only] Easy! How to Make a Hanging Koinobori Decoration with Felt and Chirimen 🎏

How about making carp streamers that sway gently as a hanging ornament? You can connect origami carp streamers with thread, or connect felt ones with thread—choose the materials to suit your preference.

If you use felt, we recommend selecting a firmer fabric.

By attaching each piece with a hot glue gun, you can make it without any sewing at all.

Since it’s a hanging decoration, having several carp streamers rather than just one will make it more festive.

Bleeding-paint koi-nobori

@atsumichan774

Let's make a Koinobori (carp streamer)! We made carp streamers using a coffee filter bleeding art technique—no paints needed♪ All materials are from the 100-yen shop! Color a coffee filter with water-based pens any way you like… then just spray it generously with water! Just using a spray bottle is surprisingly fun for kids on its own, haha. It's also nice to watch and enjoy how the colors bleed! ● Materials: - White coffee filters - Water-based pens - Spray bottle - Double-sided tape - Straws (thicker ones recommended) - Round stickers ● How to make: 1) Color the coffee filter with your favorite colors. Tip: If you draw detailed pictures, they’ll bleed. It’s fine to simply color and fill areas! 2) Spray with water. 3) Shape it into a carp streamer. You can cut with scissors if you like. Double-sided tape works great for attaching parts. Use round stickers to make and attach the eyes. 4) Attach it to a straw, and you’re done! Use double-sided tape here, too! Try all kinds of crafts! Great for play at home and for daycare or kindergarten projects!
