Fun July Craft Ideas for 2-Year-Olds: Summer Wall Decorations

fireworks

How about incorporating a summery fireworks motif into your wall decor? For a dynamic look, a semi-3D wall design is recommended.

Use construction paper to make several circles in different sizes and colors, then layer and paste them together.

Scatter ribbon curls evenly on top of the circles.

The key is to glue everything down firmly.

You can also add round stickers and star motifs to enhance the festive feel.

A sparkling fireworks wall will delight the children!

Goldfish fan

Here’s an idea for making a fan inspired by the beloved children’s picture book “The Runaway Goldfish.” You’ll use a technique called stenciling, which involves creating pictures and letters with a cut-out template.

Cut a goldfish shape out of the center of a clear plastic file to make your stencil, place it on construction paper, and paint over it.

Decorate around it with stickers, then cut the paper into a round fan shape and punch a hole for your fingers.

Finally, add the goldfish’s eye to complete your cute goldfish fan.

For coloring, dabbing paint with a sponge like stamping gives it a nice texture and is highly recommended.

[Suzuran Tape] Whale

[For Nursery Teachers] 3 Summer Wall Decoration Ideas — Great for Infants and Toddlers, Perfect for Finger Play ♪ Montessori-Inspired

Why not make a whale spouting water using construction paper and raffia tape? For the water spout, roll the raffia tape into a loop, secure one side with a rubber band, and cut through the looped part on the other side with scissors.

Attach the raffia tape to the whale’s back (cut from construction paper), placing the rubber-banded side down, and you’re ready to go.

Have the children draw patterns on the whale and shred the raffia tape into fine strips.

Finish by adding an eye to the whale, and it’s complete.

Display it to bring a touch of the summer sea to your space—highly recommended as a craft project.

[Finger Stamp] Watermelon

[Nursery/Kindergarten] 39 Summer Craft Ideas [July & August]

Making watermelons with finger stamps is simple yet super cute.

First, cut green and red construction paper into circles to make the watermelon.

Imagine the cross-section of a watermelon cut in half as you create it.

Then have the children dip their fingers in black paint and stamp the seeds.

Once the paint dries, fold it in half and you’re done.

It’s very easy, so give it a try during a quick craft time.

String a few together as hanging decorations, and they’ll look adorable too.

Paper-collage hermit crab

When you go to the sea, you might spot hermit crabs on rocky shores or sandy beaches.

How about making a hermit crab with torn-paper art? Cut construction paper into the shape of a shell—the hermit crab’s precious home—and let children randomly paste small pieces of torn tissue paper onto it to design the home.

Have the kids do the tearing and pasting.

Once that’s done, combine it with the hermit crab’s head and claws cut from construction paper to complete the craft! You can also use round stickers to make facial features like the eyes.

Fluffy jellyfish

Nursery craft: Summer creatures! Cute and fluffy jellyfish (using tissue paper)

This is a fluffy jellyfish craft that even small children can enjoy making! It’s appealing because it uses easy-to-find materials from 100-yen shops, like drain nets and tissue paper.

The step where you crumple the tissue paper into balls lets kids enjoy the texture of the materials.

You make it by stuffing the crumpled tissue paper into a drain net and tying it tightly with thread to finish.

If you thread string through the top of the jellyfish, you can also hang it as a decoration! Try filling it with tissue paper in various colors to create your very own original jellyfish.

Shaved ice with aluminum foil art

Let’s try drawing a picture of cold, delicious shaved ice using aluminum foil! First, color the aluminum foil with water-based markers in various colors.

After coloring, mist it with a spray bottle to blur the colors.

Once that’s done, place a sheet of drawing paper on top of the foil to transfer the colors.

You’ll get softly blended, beautiful hues; when they dry, cut them out in the shape of shaved ice.

Finally, combine them with drawing paper cut into the shape of a bowl, and you’re done! If you like, you can also add fruit shapes cut from paper.

Have the children handle tasks like coloring with the water-based markers, transferring the colors to the paper, and arranging the fruit.
