[For 3-year-olds] Perfect for June! Craft ideas using various expressive techniques

Rainy Day Bear

Let’s use the marble-rolling art technique to make a cute “Rainy Day Bear.” First, place small drops of paint on drawing paper and roll marbles over it.

Be sure to use a container with raised edges so the marbles don’t roll out.

Since this will become the bear’s raincoat, choose bright colors for a cute finish.

Once the paint is dry, cut it into the shape of a raincoat and attach the bear’s face and rain boots.

Finally, use a green paint handprint as a leaf umbrella for the bear to hold, and you’re done!

Stained Glass-Style Frog Umbrella (Age 3)

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Umbrella Craft / 3D / How to Make a Stained-Glass-Style Umbrella ♡

Some children’s umbrellas have 3D elements like animal ears or parts of vehicles, right? Here’s an idea to make a similar 3D umbrella with a frog motif.

First, use a compass to draw a circle on construction paper.

You’ll only use about two-thirds of the circle, so mark the section you’ll use.

After cutting out the inner part of the usable section, cover the cutout area with OPP tape.

Next, stick small pieces of colored cellophane onto the adhesive side of the tape, then seal it with another layer of OPP tape on top.

This will become the umbrella, so cut along the lines and roll it into an umbrella shape.

Attach the frog parts made from construction paper and add a straw handle to finish.

The frog’s eyes will pop out in 3D, making it super cute!

Torn-paper art: Umbrella and snail

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Two ways to enjoy: open and close! June umbrella snail artwork/craft for taking shelter from the rain

Here’s a cute craft idea that looks like a snail taking shelter from the rain under an umbrella.

Fold a sheet of construction paper in half and cut the top layer into the shape of an umbrella.

Let the children tear origami paper however they like.

Paste the torn origami pieces onto the inside of the bottom sheet.

Finish by attaching a snail and an umbrella handle made from separate sheets of paper.

By changing the construction paper and origami, you can create umbrellas with all sorts of different looks, so let the children choose their favorites.

This is also an idea that’s easy to display on a wall.

[Paint and Glue] Frog on a Rainy Day

[2-year-olds] Frog Crafting

June is the rainy season, so we often get to see rain.

Today, we’re introducing a perfect craft for June: “Rainy Day Frog.” First, use watered-down paint to create rain on construction paper.

Let the children use brushes to draw lines and dots—have them paint the rain however they like.

Next, glue the eyes, mouth, and belly pieces onto the frog base cut from construction paper.

Finally, stick the frog onto the rainy background paper—and it’s done! When attaching the parts, have the children use their fingers to apply glue to the back side.

[Collage] Hydrangea Craft

[June Project] Hydrangea Collage (Paper-Pasting Art)

Let’s make a hydrangea collage that’s perfect for the rainy season.

First, prepare origami paper in several colors and cut it into small squares.

Next, either cut out a rough, round hydrangea shape from construction paper and paste it onto another sheet, or draw the shape directly on the paper.

Depending on the children’s age, teachers may need to handle the step of cutting the squares and cutting out the hydrangea shape.

Once the prep is done, start pasting the square pieces of origami randomly onto the round hydrangea base! By letting the children work freely, you’ll end up with a wonderfully unique, one-of-a-kind hydrangea.

tadpole

[Childcare Craft] June Wall Decoration ♪ Origami Tadpoles | Origami Tadpole

Tadpoles are the larvae of frogs that appear in places where water collects, such as rivers and ponds.

Let’s create an artwork that can be used in illustrations with a rainy season theme.

First, cut a folded sheet of black origami paper, then fold it again while imagining a fish-like silhouette.

Attach round stickers with eyes drawn on them, and then stick the pieces onto a backing sheet to finish.

You can also try adding multiple tadpoles, or creating them together with seasonal illustrations like frogs and hydrangeas.

Give this crafting idea a try to brighten up wall displays on rainy days.

snail

[Nursery/Kindergarten] June Craft Perfect for the Rainy Season! How to Make a Snail [Toddler/Infant Class]

Here are some craft ideas themed around snails, the quintessential creatures of the rainy season.

Let’s make various kinds of snails—from ones you can place in a room to wall-hanging decorations! If you’re using construction paper, we recommend adding patterns with batik techniques or stamping.

Once you roll the construction paper into a spiral, attach eyes made from pipe cleaners to finish.

If you’re using a paper plate, you can depict the snail’s pattern with torn-paper collage.

You can also put tissue paper into a clear bag to create a three-dimensional snail.

Try making projects that harness children’s free and creative ideas.
