Finish by coloring over the attached bubble wrap with permanent markers.

ribbit-ribbit frog

[Preschool Teacher] Make and Play Right Away! How to Make a Croaking Frog ✨ [Daycare & Kindergarten]

Here’s a craft idea for a “Ribbit-Ribbit Frog” that lets you enjoy frog croaks.

Poke a hole in a paper cup and thread a straw through it; moving the straw creates friction that makes a ribbit-ribbit sound.

First, draw a rainy-season-themed picture on the paper cup.

If drawing directly on the cup is difficult, cut out a piece of construction paper shaped like the side of the cup, draw on it, and then glue it on.

Use an awl or similar tool to make a hole in the bottom and insert the straw.

Be careful not to make the hole too large, or it won’t make a sound.

Finally, attach a construction-paper frog to the top of the straw, and you’re done! Move the straw to make your frog croak.

Broad beans you make by sticking (pieces) on

Spring Craft: “Broad Beans” Easy How-To Explained by a Preschool Teacher (for 2–3-year-olds) #shorts

Broad beans, which are said to be in season from April to June, are perfect for spring crafts.

This time, we’ll introduce a project that uses these broad beans.

Prepare by pre-cutting the pod and bean shapes out of construction paper.

If the children are old enough and comfortable using scissors, it’s also great to let them cut the pieces themselves.

Glue the pod and beans onto a base sheet of construction paper, draw faces on the beans, and you’re done.

The steps are very simple, so even younger children can enjoy making this.

The vivid green of the broad beans is sure to energize the kids even more.

[Suzuran Tape] Hydrangea Craft

[Hydrangea Craft] A Preschool Teacher Explains a June-Friendly Craft for 4-Year-Olds!

Would you like to try making hydrangeas using plastic raffia (suzuran tape)? By combining different colored tapes, they turn out really beautiful.

In advance, please prepare three bundles made by tightly knotting together three colors of plastic raffia and trimming both sides to the same length, as well as a sheet of construction paper with outlines for the hydrangea base and leaves.

Have the children cut along the outlines on the construction paper, then glue the leaves and the hydrangea flowers made from the plastic raffia onto the base.

Since plastic raffia doesn’t adhere easily, press it firmly for about 10 seconds!

[Origami] Hydrangea Flower

Origami Craft: “Hydrangea”

When you think of flowers that bloom in June, many people probably picture hydrangeas.

Let’s incorporate hydrangeas into a June craft.

First, divide a sheet of origami paper into four equal parts.

Fold one piece into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.

Open the triangle to form a square.

Next, with the flaps facing up, fold both sides toward the center.

Repeat the same steps on the back side.

Once you spread the flaps out to the top, bottom, left, and right, the petal part is complete.

Finally, place several petal pieces onto a leaf-shaped piece of origami and glue them down to finish.

If you make lots of flower pieces in various colors, you can create an even more vibrant hydrangea.

Using washi or dyed paper for the leaves can also give it a beautiful finish.
