Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using a plastic bottle cap stamp that even young children can enjoy easily.

The materials are super simple! All you need is construction paper, a plastic bottle cap, paint, and a paper plate.

Squeeze your favorite paint colors onto the paper plate, dab the plastic bottle cap in the paint, and then stamp it onto the construction paper—that’s it! Using two or three colors like blue and light blue makes it look beautiful.

Finally, attach shell and fish shapes made from construction paper that you prepared in advance to complete the artwork.

It’s also lovely to add motifs you folded yourself with origami.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Let’s make a summery “Sea Creatures Tapestry.” We’ll create three creatures: a fish, a jellyfish, and an octopus.

For the fish, put crumpled tissue paper into a clear plastic bag, tie it with a pipe cleaner, then secure the corners with tape.

For the jellyfish, stuff a clear plastic bag with tissue paper, shape it into a round form with tape, and attach shredded curling ribbon to make the tentacles.

Make the octopus the same way: put tissue paper in a bag and tie it with a pipe cleaner.

For the base, thread a string through a straw, wrap the straw with curling ribbon, and then attach the creatures to complete the tapestry.

[Sea Creatures Craft 1] Easy with a paper plate! Seagull Sailor 🦤🌊 Nursery craft, preschool teacher, ideas for childcare, make it with kids, simple craft, paper plate craft, Seagull Sailor, summer craft

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s make a cute seagull sailor using a paper plate.

It’s super easy! Fold the paper plate in half and position it with the curve facing downward.

Glue on a face, wings, a hat, and other parts made from construction paper, then draw the face and body with crayons to finish.

If you use a blue crayon to draw the sailor’s outfit details, it’ll look even more refreshing and summery.

The gentle rocking motion is adorable.

Be sure to craft and play while singing the song “Kamome no Suihei-san” together!

Whale Shark Sticker Activity

[Sea Creatures Craft ②] Whale shark sticker activity 🦈🌊 #preschoolcrafts #nurseryteacher #teachingideas #withkids #easycraft #constructionpaper #stickerplay #shorts

Speaking of popular creatures at aquariums, whale sharks are a top favorite! Watching them glide leisurely in a huge tank really gives you a sense of the ocean’s vastness.

Let’s make a whale shark while having fun with stickers.

First, create the whale shark’s parts out of construction paper and glue them together.

Color the mouth area white, draw the face, then add patterns by sticking on white round stickers.

And that’s it—your whale shark is complete! You can also switch up the sticker colors to add your own personal touch.

watermelon

[Origami] Summer origami “watermelon” to make with a 3-year-old child

When it comes to summer-perfect fruit origami, watermelon is the classic choice.

Here, we’ll show you how to make a watermelon using just a single sheet of origami paper.

Simply fold along the edges in sequence and you’ll have a watermelon.

For a more realistic look, it’s best to stack a green sheet and a red sheet back-to-back before folding.

Once it’s finished, draw the seeds with a felt-tip pen or similar.

You could even try making a yellow watermelon.

Why not create a seasonal vibe by putting them on the wall or displaying them in your entryway?

A bamboo leaf that folds in eight steps

Folds in 8 steps! Tanabata Origami: Simple and Cute Bamboo Leaf Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Leaf

Speaking of July, we have Tanabata, don’t we? In childcare facilities and the like, some may create bamboo grass decorations on the walls.

Here’s an origami idea for bamboo leaves that’s useful on such occasions and only takes eight folds.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it up and fold the two left edges to align with the crease.

At this point, make sure the tip is nice and sharp, and align the edges just slightly outside the crease.

Doing so will help express the leaf’s central vein.

Flip the paper over and fold the triangular section inward.

With the triangle’s base positioned at the bottom, refit the paper and fold the two bottom corners up to meet the center line.

Finally, tuck the left and right corners created in the last step slightly inward, and you’re done!

penguin

[Summer Origami] Easy Penguin Folding with Audio Commentary ☆ Origami: How to Easily Fold a Penguin — Decorations for July and August

Here’s how to make a penguin from a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle and crease well.

Then fold the top edge down to meet the crease you just made.

As you fold the body and flippers, keep an eye on the left-right balance to make a neat finish.

Adjust the proportions, like the roundness of the head and body, and you’re done.

Finally, color in and draw the eyes and beak to make your penguin even cuter.

Try making this three-dimensional, summery penguin!
