[For 5-year-olds] Crafts to try in July! Ideas that capture the season

watermelon

[Watermelon Craft (for 5-year-olds)] Perfect for summer activities at daycare!

A door plate with a watermelon motif sounds lovely! Using red and green construction paper, you can create a piece that’s full of summery vibes.

It would be fun to get creative with the rind and the seeds together with the kids.

The idea of using paper plates to add a three-dimensional effect is great, too.

Once it’s finished, let’s display it in the room to boost the summer mood.

Through the making process, it also seems like a great way to nurture children’s imagination and creativity.

Enjoy working on it together and make some wonderful summer memories!

Stained glass-style fireworks

[Summer Craft] Stained-Glass Style Fireworks! Sparkly, Cute Fireworks to Hold Up to the Sun [For 4-Year-Olds]

How about making stained-glass-style art that can capture the sparkle of summer fireworks? Fold a piece of black construction paper and cut out several triangles.

When you unfold it, you’ll see a fireworks-like pattern.

Next, stick colorful cellophane onto a sheet of parchment paper.

Using lots of different colors will make it look even more like stained glass.

Finally, layer the black paper over the parchment paper, and it’s complete! When light shines through, it glows beautifully.

It seems like the perfect summer craft to spark children’s imagination.

Chocolate banana stall

[Kindergarten/Daycare] July Festival! Chocolate Banana Stall: Painting and Craft Activity

Why not make a classic festival chocolate-banana stand? If you’re doing this with three-year-olds, the teacher should pre-cut the banana shapes and let the children start from the coloring.

Once the bananas are colored, stick on decorations made from finely cut origami paper.

It’s easiest if you apply glue over the whole banana first and then sprinkle the pieces on top.

Finally, decorate construction paper to look like a food stall, and line up and paste the chocolate bananas to finish! Create a delicious-looking chocolate-banana stand and enjoy a summery vibe.

Grand Fireworks Painting in the Night Sky

[Kindergarten/Preschool] I did it myself! August Night Sky Fireworks — Art and Craft

What you need: black construction paper, paints, and crayons.

Simple yet striking, the colorful hues pop against the black background in this fun finger-stamp fireworks painting.

First, draw the lines of the fireworks on the black paper with crayons.

Next, use finger stamps to dab on your favorite colors.

Aside from encouraging them to “try to put the colors on the fireworks lines as much as possible,” let the children create freely so they can enjoy drawing at their own pace.

Try to spark conversation, too, by asking, “Have you ever seen fireworks?” or “What colors did you see?”

Tanabata decorations of the Milky Way

Let’s make Milky Way decorations that are perfect for Tanabata.

By taking a strip of origami paper and making alternating cuts from the left and right, you can create the Milky Way.

Since the process is a bit intricate, it’s a good idea for the teacher to draw guide lines where the cuts should be made.

Once the Milky Way is ready, try combining it with star-shaped construction paper, or with Orihime and Hikoboshi made by cutting construction paper or folding origami.

When making star shapes, you can also use a craft punch that cuts out stars.

Create lively, cute pieces and enjoy a wonderful Tanabata!
