How to Make Mikan (Mandarin Oranges)TranslationchildChildcare#mikan#Child'sToy

♪ Original song – Yuumaaama – Yuumaaama

One of the classic winter fruits, mikan (mandarins), can also be made using familiar materials.

Crumple up some newspaper and wrap it with two or three sheets of orange tissue paper.

Put the tissue-wrapped newspaper into a small plastic bag, add a leaf, and you’re done.

Even four-year-olds with their small hands should be able to crumple the newspaper and wrap it with tissue to make a mikan.

They’ll probably enjoy squeezing and crumpling the newspaper tightly.

With a slight change of shape and color, you could even turn it into a strawberry.

It also sounds fun to try making various fruits by changing the tissue paper colors and more.

Let’s try making New Year’s kagami mochi out of tissue paper.

It’s just rolling and gluing, so it’s great for small children, too.

First, glue a paper sanpō (offering stand) that you cut from construction paper onto a backing sheet.

Next, tear the tissue paper into vertical strips.

Spread glue on top of the sanpō, then crumple the tissue paper into little balls and stick them on.

Finally, glue on a round “daidai” orange cut from construction paper to finish.

Drawing a little face on the orange is cute, too.

Display it in your entryway or living room to create a lovely New Year’s atmosphere.

Give it a try!

Easy! Snowflake Paper Cutouts

How to cut snowflakes? Easy paper cutting for kids to make wall decorations (for ages 4–5)

When you look at snowflakes up close, they have such delicate shapes, don’t they? Let’s make snowflakes that capture that delicacy using origami paper and aluminum foil.

Fold the origami paper, then make cuts with scissors.

When you unfold it, you’ll have a unique, intricate pattern like a snowflake.

It’s fun how the pattern changes depending on how you cut it.

Let the children cut it however they like.

Once the pattern is made, glue some crumpled aluminum foil to the back of the origami, and you’re done.

The aluminum foil will create the sparkle of a glittering snowflake.
