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

Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock

[Kindergarten/Daycare] June Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock Craft

To mark Time Day on June 10, how about making a teru-teru bozu pendulum clock? First, glue construction paper onto a milk carton to create the clock’s base.

Next, add clock hands and tick marks to a hydrangea flower made from construction paper.

Attach the hydrangea to the top of the milk carton, and a teru-teru bozu made from tissue to the bottom so it swings gently—and you’re done.

There are many steps until completion, so it’s best to spread the project over a few days.

Through the activity, it would be great if children can deepen their interest in seasonal flowers and in clocks.

[Elderly Indoor Recreation Craft] A Frog Using a Toilet Paper Roll

During the rainy season, when we get a lot of rain, we also see frogs more often, don’t we? The way they hop as if enjoying the rain brightens up the rainy season, which often has a gloomy image.

Here’s a craft that uses frogs as a motif, made from a toilet paper roll.

Just cut slits in the roll to make the frog’s legs, fold down the back part, and then add color to finish.

Because it’s simply a matter of cutting slits and folding, it’s easy to try, which is a key point of this craft.
