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

A frog you can make and play with

[Daycare/Kindergarten] 5 DIY Frog Toys You Can Make and Play With – How-To Roundup [June Rainy-Season Crafts]

Here are some craft ideas themed around frogs, which often appear during the rainy season.

Try making projects that are fun both to create and to play with! There’s a wide range, such as castanets that make sounds using paper plates and small glass counters, or pieces that express a frog’s hopping motion with two paper cups.

If you want to make a more realistic frog, you could create one that croaks when you move a straw.

You can also combine a milk carton with a frog to make a snap-and-jump frog.

Try making these items to liven up indoor childcare activities on rainy days!

Origami umbrella

Origami umbrellas perfect for wall decorations during the rainy season

Here’s a craft idea themed around umbrellas, perfect for the rainy rainy season.

It’s also great as a decorative item for wall displays or illustrations with a rainy-season theme.

First, fold a prepared sheet of origami paper in half.

Fold it in half again, then open it and fold both ends inward.

Open it once more, fold along the creases, and fold the corners on both ends.

Fold both ends to align with the crease, and attach a drawing of a handle to complete the umbrella.

Try making pieces that spark children’s creativity, such as decorating the umbrella with pens and stickers.

[Kirie] A Gorgeous Snail

[Kirigami] Simple and cute♪ Kirigami Snail / Rainy Season Craft

Let’s make a colorful patterned paper-cut snail.

First, prepare origami paper in your favorite color and fold it into a triangle.

After folding it into eighths, fold it one more time.

Next, cut along the outer edge of the folded paper with scissors in a curved shape.

Cut a small bit from the center as well, then make free-form slits on both sides.

Finally, unfold the cut paper, glue it onto a paper plate, make the snail’s eyes and body, and attach them to construction paper to finish.

The moment you unfold the origami and wonder, “What kind of pattern did we get?” is exciting—this is a perfect craft idea for the rainy season.

It’s also great for practicing scissor skills.

[Paper Cup] Bouncy Frog

[Daycare/Kindergarten] 5 DIY Frog Toys You Can Make and Play With – How-To Roundup [June Rainy-Season Crafts]

Let’s make a jumping frog with paper cups and have some fun! First, attach parts made from construction paper—like the frog’s eyes, hands, and feet—to a paper cup.

Once it looks nice and froggy, cut small slits in the rim of the cup to hook rubber bands onto.

The key is to hook the rubber bands so they cross in the center of the cup.

For extra security, fasten the rubber bands with a stapler or tape so they won’t come off.

Stack the frog cup on top of another paper cup, then quickly release your hands—and your frog toy will spring boing! into the air.

Try launching them together with everyone!

Vegetable Stamps: Hydrangeas Made with Okra

[Rainy season] Hydrangea stamp | Vegetables | Craft | Okra | Stamp [Vegetable stamp]

Let’s make hydrangeas by stamping with vegetables.

This time we’ll use okra.

Its cross-section looks like a small flower, which makes for an adorable stamp.

Prepare a few stamp pads in your favorite colors and press them onto white drawing paper, dotting lots of prints.

If you stamp while imagining small flowers forming circles, you can capture that soft, hydrangea-like look.

Add leaves with crayons or the like to finish.

It could also be fun to try stamping with various vegetables! Using watercolor paints instead of stamp pads is recommended, too.

Rainy season plastic shrink art

Rainy day motif ☔️ #shorts #rain #rainyseason #shrinkplastic #resin #handmade

Let’s make a rainy-season inspired craft using shrink plastic! Draw hydrangeas, frogs, raindrops, and other rainy-season motifs on the plastic sheet with colored pencils, then cut around the drawings.

Coat each piece with resin and cure it under a UV light.

Place small, finely cut and heated pieces of shrink plastic onto the hydrangea section, then cure again.

Arrange all the parts in your preferred layout, layer on more resin, and cure to finish.

You’ll have a cool, transparent-looking craft! It also makes a great keychain or bag charm.

[For ages 4–5] Hydrangea Craft

[June ☔🐌] Introduction to our craft project. Suitable for all ages 🩷

Making hydrangeas using origami and construction paper is recommended for children aged 4 to 5.

Cut the construction paper into a cloud-like shape, then make small flowers out of origami to form the hydrangea and paste them on.

For the small hydrangea flowers, it’s best to use smaller-sized origami.

If you don’t have small origami, cut a regular sheet into four pieces and use those.

Also, if you fold circular pieces of origami, you’ll create a different kind of hydrangea flower than with square origami.

You can combine both types of flowers, or use just one—either is fine! Encourage the children to think for themselves about how to arrange the small flowers as they create their work.
