Perfect Summer Craft Ideas to Try in July for 4-Year-Olds

Fireworks made from scrap stamping

Let me introduce a super fun stamping firework craft using recycled materials.

Get a toilet paper roll, paint, and aluminum foil ready, and let’s make it! Use scissors to cut thin vertical slits into one end of the toilet paper roll, then flare the strips outward.

Squeeze some paint onto the aluminum foil, and dab the cut end of the roll into the paint.

Stamp it onto construction paper to create beautiful fireworks.

Layering a few colors can make the fireworks even more striking.

Stamping on black construction paper is recommended!

Summer and Animals

Seasonal wall display. This time, we’re introducing the July wall display: “Summer and Animals.”

Here are some July wall display ideas perfect for the hot summer, featuring summer motifs and animals.

With classic summer treats like shaved ice, rhinoceros beetles, and watermelon, the display really gives off a summery vibe and looks delicious.

By adding animals around them, the wall display gains a sense of story.

Try making shaved ice in different flavors to increase the variety.

It’s also a great idea to create a summer-festival-like display by incorporating elements like rhinoceros beetles, watermelon, fans, and food stalls to capture the summer atmosphere.

Setting a clear theme for the display can make it more concrete and easier to create.

A rhinoceros beetle and a watermelon made with origami

[Summer Wall Display] A Perfect Craft for July and August: Rhinoceros Beetles and Watermelons (for 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds)

We’re introducing two summer favorites: rhinoceros beetles and watermelons.

For the watermelon, cut red and green construction paper into circles and glue them together.

Tear pieces of origami paper by hand and glue them on to create the watermelon pattern.

For the rhinoceros beetle, sharpen the horn shape and make crisp folds.

It’s also fun to fold a stag beetle along with it.

Finish by adding round sticker eyes.

Glue the watermelon and beetles onto a background sheet to enjoy the seasonal feel! A flip feature where a pattern appears when you lift the watermelon is also a fun touch.

Definitely try making this for your July wall display!

Easy origami morning glory

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make a Morning Glory 🌺 Summer Wall Decoration [3D] Refreshing Feel 🌈 DIY Paper Craft. Paper Flower. Origami

Let’s make morning glories—one of the quintessential symbols of summer—using origami.

First, draw a circle on blue origami paper for the flower base and cut it out with scissors.

Next, take white origami paper for the inner pattern, fold it into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the left and right corners diagonally inward so they overlap.

Draw a V-shaped cutting line, cut along it with scissors, open it up, and attach it to the circular base.

From there, you can trim the edge of the base to form petals, or make a single slit and overlap the edges before gluing to create a three-dimensional morning glory.

Make some leaves as well, and be sure to display your work on the wall!

Summer wall display using paints

Easy summer/July wall display craft! Add ○○ to paint to draw beautiful lines [Kindergarten/Preschool]

In summer, even if things get dirty, the laundry dries quickly, doesn’t it? Here are some summer wall art ideas using paint that are perfect for July.

Put paint on bubble wrap wrapped around a paper cup, and stamp it onto the center of a sunflower like a stamp.

The bubble wrap’s texture makes the sunflower look three-dimensional.

For the water yo-yos you often see at summer festival stalls, mix glue into the paint and gently flick the brush to add color.

You’ll get wonderfully accidental patterns.

You can display them however you like, but decorating them in a festival stall style for a summery feel is also recommended!

Bamboo branches and decorations made of colored construction paper

Seasonal Wall Decorations Made with Colored Paper – July: Tanabata Bamboo and Ornaments

Here’s a great paper craft idea for displaying Tanzaku with your Tanabata wishes: bamboo branches and decorations made from colored construction paper.

Cut the construction paper to make each part.

If you shape the bamboo stems with a gentle roundness, they’ll look just like real bamboo—soft and rounded.

Use glue to attach the stems at an angle to add a sense of movement.

Fold each leaf in half to create a crease and give the whole piece a three-dimensional look.

Finally, attach the wish-written Tanzaku and bamboo ornaments to finish.

Adding paper chain loops will make it even more festive and perfect for Tanabata.

sunflower

[Craft Idea] Sunflowers (July–August, Summer) (Wall Decorations, Senior Recreational Activities, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service, Childcare) (Origami, 3D, Origami DIY)

Bright, cheerful sunflowers that symbolize summer are perfect for wall displays! For these sunflowers, prepare origami paper, scissors, and glue.

Cut the yellow origami paper into vertical strips to make individual petals.

By adding creases, you’ll create a more three-dimensional sunflower.

Glue the petals on one by one to form a large sunflower.

The key is to stagger the petals as you attach them so they don’t overlap too much.

For the center of the sunflower, make fine cuts into folded origami paper with scissors, then roll it into a tube to add dimension.

Create sunflowers in various sizes and turn your wall into a bright, summery display.
