[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.

♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s an idea for making an umbrella using a paper plate and pipe cleaners.

First, attach a sponge to a chopstick to make a stamp.

Next, cut a paper plate in half and use the paint-covered stamp to add color.

Prepare a few paint colors and finish it in your favorite colors and patterns.

Finally, glue a pipe cleaner to the inside of the paper plate as a handle, then roll the plate into a cone shape so it looks like an umbrella, and you’re done! If you curl the end of the pipe cleaner that sticks out from the top of the umbrella, you can hang it with thread as a decoration.

Draw patterns to complete it! Here are some cute snail ideas.

Snails, which are very active during the rainy season, can be quite fascinating for children.

Observing their swirly, spiral shells and the way they move slowly can lead to many discoveries.

This time, let’s make a snail with origami.

All you need is one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, making it perfect for preschool classes.

The key step is folding the corners inward on the back side to give the shell a rounded shape.

Rainbow and a Raincoat

Rainy season hanging craft ☂️♡ We made a rainbow and a raincoat 🌈 ◾️Rainbow (use half of a paper plate) 1) Cut origami paper with scissors and stick the pieces on with glue!

When we think of the rainy season, it may seem like the negatives—“it’s damp and muggy,” “you can’t play outside,” and so on—outweigh the positives.

But rainy days also have their perks: you get to wear a cute raincoat, and when the rain lets up, you might even see a rainbow.

So here’s a suggestion: make a hanging craft featuring a rainbow and a raincoat.

You can freely choose the colors of the rainbow and customize the raincoat to be colorful, so the creative possibilities are endless! Rolling paint-covered marbles inside a box to create fascinating patterns also sounds fun.

If you can prepare plenty of boxes, definitely give it a try.

Clouds that change their shapes over time.

Some people even fall in love with clouds and aim to become weather forecasters—their charm is truly unfathomable, isn’t it? I think kids also love that fluffy cloud vibe.

If you add raindrops using plastic strips to a white cloud, it really brings out the mood.

Imagine a jellyfish and you’ll have the general form down.

Don’t forget decorations like raindrops and frogs.

To get that soft, puffy cloud texture, use a mix of shaving cream and liquid glue.

White wood glue should work as a substitute, too.

Cute! Teru teru bozu

[Origami] Easy and Cute! How to Fold a Teru Teru Bozu (Sunshine Doll) — For Kids, Perfect Rainy Season Decoration in June / fukuoriroom
Cute! Teru teru bozu

Cute! Here’s an idea for making a teru teru bozu.

A teru teru bozu is a hanging doll made of cloth or paper, crafted to wish for sunny weather.

It’s one of Japan’s traditions and even appears in a children’s song sung during the rainy season.

This time, let’s make an adorable teru teru bozu with origami.

You’ll need two sheets of white origami paper and one sheet for the ribbon.

For the ribbon, it’s nice to use patterned paper or your favorite color.

Try making one for events or outings when you’re hoping for clear skies.

Swaying Creation

Swaying Creation

Things that sway gently—lately, I feel like there are more seasonal advertising pop-ups hanging from the ceilings in supermarkets and convenience stores.

Not only children but adults will find their eyes drawn to them.

Making a gently swaying craft like that sounds fun too.

If you imagine a small mobile, the creation process should go smoothly.

For the hanging pieces, don’t just draw illustrations on paper—using cellophane or metallic gold and silver paper could spark even more imagination! Using yarn for the hanging thread will make it colorful as well.

Be sure to include motifs that evoke June, like hydrangeas and snails!

raincoat

The rainy season can make it hard to feel cheerful, but how about brightening your mood by folding colorful origami raincoats? Regular origami paper works fine, but using patterned paper or even wrapping paper can be fun too.

It’s also a great idea to fold letters or memos into a raincoat shape.

The folding method is similar to folding a kimono and isn’t too complicated.

Try making lots of raincoats with different patterns and decorating various places with them, or use them as wall decorations.
