[4-year-olds] Craft ideas to enjoy with children in June

June brings a lot of rain, making it hard to enjoy outdoor childcare.

However, rain is also said to be a blessing.

How about having fun indoors with some crafts? Creating something with their own hands gives children a sense of achievement and joy.

Four-year-olds in particular are at a great age to try new things with all kinds of creative ideas.

Encourage them to experiment with different materials while thinking about colors and shapes.

Here, we’re sharing a variety of craft ideas to help you enjoy rainy days! Use them as inspiration and have a wonderful June together with the children.

Origami frog

Origami frog

Would you like to make a frog that’s perfect for the rainy season using just a single sheet of origami paper? Start by adding creases to the sheet you’ve prepared, then fold it step by step.

The key is to imagine the overall silhouette as you fold the legs and arms.

For parts that require fine work, it’s a good idea for a teacher or guardian to assist, or to write out the steps in advance.

Once the origami is finished, draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and other features to complete it.

It’s a cute frog craft idea you can display indoors on a rainy day.

Rubber boots made from paper cups

Rubber boots made from paper cups

Let’s make decorations themed around rain-day essentials: rain boots.

We’ll use a paper cup and construction paper.

Since a paper cup already resembles the shape of a rain boot, the steps are very simple.

Once the boot shape is complete, decorate it however you like by drawing illustrations or adding stickers.

After finishing, it’s also recommended to attach a handle using a pipe cleaner.

You can even use it as a small container, so filling it with your favorite candies or small toys and using it for a gift exchange might be a hit.

This sparkling raindrop mobile will lift your spirits on rainy days! Cut holographic or other reflective origami paper into raindrop shapes, and cut light-blue origami paper into the same shapes.

Fold each piece in half, then glue them together two at a time in alternating colors to create 3D raindrop parts.

Finally, attach a string along the fold line so the drops line up in a chain, and you’ll have an adorable mobile that blows away rainy-day blues.

It’s also great to pair with cloud pieces to evoke raindrops falling from the sky!

Garland of Rain Clouds

This is a rain cloud garland featuring adorable raindrops falling from the clouds.

Draw outlines of clouds and raindrops on construction paper and cut along the lines.

Attach fishing line to the back of the cloud pieces with clear tape, then stick the raindrop pieces—backed with double-sided tape—onto the line.

Attach the raindrops in pairs, sandwiching the line between two pieces, and you’ll have a garland perfect for the rainy season! You can also swap the cloud and rain motifs for different ones each season to create garlands that match the time of year.
