Projects to Try in June! A Collection of Craft Ideas Recommended for 5-Year-Olds

Here are some craft ideas perfect for June childcare, tailored for five-year-olds. Along with seasonal motifs like frogs, umbrellas, and hydrangeas unique to the rainy season, we’ve gathered ideas filled with excitement in the very act of making—such as bubble art and an aquarium where fish move with magnets. By the age of five, children are more adept with tools, and you can see them enjoying the chance to add their own creative touches. These are all projects that offer plenty of ways to enjoy them after completion too, like displaying them on the wall or giving them as gifts to friends. Be sure to incorporate them into your daily childcare activities. Note: Since we treat what the children make as “artworks,” we use the term “seisaku (制作)” in the text.

Rainy days are fun too! A collage of falling rainNEW!

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Enjoying the June Rain! “Amefuri Pottan” Painting and Craft
Rainy days are fun too! A collage of falling rainNEW!

This is a perfect craft for the rainy season that makes wet days more fun.

By drawing favorite patterns on a raincoat with crayons and then adding a face and rain boots, children can create adorable, childlike pieces.

Cutting leaves to draw patterns and gluing small torn pieces of origami paper into hydrangea shapes also lets them enjoy using their fingertips.

Finally, using finger stamps to depict rain spreads a rainy-season atmosphere across the whole page.

Using the paper vertically makes it easier to show the rain falling.

Try making it while expanding their imagination—such as by singing a rain song during the introduction—and have fun!

[Ages 5 and up] A big clock everyone makes togetherNEW!

A large hydrangea clock that lets everyone enjoy the fun of creating together and the feeling of the season.

The sense of accomplishment from making one thing as a group when it’s finished leads to growth and confidence for what comes next.

Let’s divide into teams: one that uses stamp daubers to create hydrangeas on a large sheet of paper, and another that writes the numbers on construction paper to make the numerals, and begin the project.

We’ll also make hydrangeas out of origami and create leaves.

Paste the stamped hydrangeas onto a large circular sheet of poster paper, then attach the numbers around the edge, and finally add the hydrangea flowers you made to complete it.

It’s recommended that the teacher first share a concrete image with the children—like the size and how to make it—saying, “Let’s make a clock like this,” before starting.

This is a fun and easy hydrangea wreath craft using a paper plate.

Cut out the center of the plate, apply double-sided tape, and stick on cellophane to create a lovely piece that sparkles in the light.

Rolling up tissue paper into little balls is a great fine-motor activity, and layering the colors as you glue them lets you enjoy a variety of shades.

Add plenty of decorations around the wreath to give it a soft, lush hydrangea look.

If you make it while showing real hydrangeas, it becomes a fun, seasonal experience.

Display the finished wreath to instantly brighten up your room.

Raindrop Sun CatcherNEW!

Drip Suncatcher ✨ | June Craft | #shorts #Childcare
Raindrop Sun CatcherNEW!

Cut a transparent clear file into a droplet shape, then freely decorate it with stickers or beads in your favorite colors.

If you use a flower-shaped craft punch on round stickers, it boosts the cuteness! Next, thread beads onto a pipe cleaner, pass it through a hole in the droplet, and wrap it around to match the shape.

Finally, twist the pipe cleaner to secure it, and your “Droplet Suncatcher,” with its beautiful translucence, is complete.

It sparkles in the light, delighting kids who exclaim, “It looks like a rainbow!” and “So pretty!” By choosing colors they like and enjoying different patterns while using their fingertips to make it, they can create a one-of-a-kind piece.

Make it with footprints! Father’s Day presentNEW!

[Kindergarten/Nursery] June Father’s Day Gift Craft
Make it with footprints! Father’s Day presentNEW!

This is a perfect Father’s Day craft that turns cute footprints into a necktie.

Paint your child’s foot and make a footprint on construction paper sized to their foot; once it’s dry, layer a slightly smaller piece of construction paper on top and attach a face cutout.

Drawing the face with crayons and adding flower decorations will make it a lovely project that’s just right for four-year-olds.

Finish by laminating it and threading a ribbon through.

As children enjoy the cool, tickly feel of the paint and chat about whether “Daddy will be happy,” their excitement grows.

It’s sure to become a one-of-a-kind, heartwarming gift.

[Ages 3 and up] Let’s make an original clock!NEW!

Time Day – Let’s Make Original Clocks! – [Ages 3–5] | Minami Senrioka Yui-Koen [Nursery/Kindergarten Event]
[Ages 3 and up] Let's make an original clock!NEW!

Before starting the craft, singing “The Whale Clock” with the children lets them use their hands to form the whale’s big body shape and enjoy sensing clocks and numbers through their bodies.

For the wristwatch, drawing illustrations on the band could boost its original feel.

For an oil-timer style clock, put sparkly beads and colored water into a plastic bottle; the water moves slowly, creating a clock you can enjoy watching like an hourglass.

For an alarm clock, use a paper plate and add drawings and numbers.

Once finished, try listening to what kind of sound the alarm clock might make—that will make it even more fun.

Enjoy making these so you can spark greater interest in time.

Father’s Day gift fanNEW!

[For 1-year-olds] We made a fan at home and gave it as a Father’s Day present.
Father's Day gift fanNEW!

An original hand fan that features patterns made by painting with a brush or by dipping a lactic acid bacteria drink bottle in paint and rolling it across paper.

Even one-year-olds can enjoy a fun crafting time when working together with a guardian, and it will surely contribute to precious growth.

Once the pattern is made, cut it to match the fan base, glue it on, and you’re done.

It’s the perfect gift before the hot summer arrives! It also doubles as a play activity, and once the paint dries, let them add stickers too.

It might be a slightly cute gift for Dad, but it’s basically something to use at home.

Pour in lots of love!
