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

Hoppy FrogNEW!

[Origami] How to fold a springy, hopping frog 🐸

This is an origami frog that jumps energetically with a “boing!” when you press its back end with your finger and release.

Classic origami that’s been around for ages isn’t just cute in shape—some models are toys kids can play with, which is great! For this one, use a sheet folded in half vertically, and as you create creases, form the front and back legs to make a cute frog shape.

For the slightly tricky parts, it’s reassuring if an adult guides them by saying, “Let’s make this part into a triangle.” Finish by drawing the eyes and nose with crayons! Kids will be thrilled as they play—“How far can it jump?” “Let’s race our frogs!”—making it perfect for rainy-season crafts or indoor play.

Hydrangea crafts using various materialsNEW!

@user7787282157810

Hydrangea craft that infants can enjoy. Just place various square-cut materials inside a circular cutout, pat-pat, and you’re done. Since they stick to clear tape, even children who find glue tricky can enjoy it with confidence. Fluffy, smooth, rough… They can “feel” the differences in materials plenty with their fingertips. ⸻ Materials • Construction paper (kraft paper) • Hydrangea parts: construction paper, fabric, tissue paper, origami, etc. • Clear tape • Scissors • Crayons • Parchment paper ⸻ Tips • Prepare materials with different thicknesses and textures Focus on the joy of trying and having fun rather than making it perfectly. If you “gave it a try,” please let me know! Show me everyone’s creations. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask! Likes and follows are encouraging. ⸻ Please check out my Instagram too @irodori_seisaku_hoiku Search: “Irodori Sensei” Thank you so much for reading to the end.Childcare ideas#Childcare CraftingMay ProductionProduction in JuneHydrangea Craft

Here’s an idea for making hydrangeas by combining different materials like paper and fabric.

First, punch a circular hole in the base craft paper, then cover the hole from the back with tape so the adhesive side faces the front.

Have the children create the hydrangea by sticking on square-cut pieces of mixed materials through this area.

Once the hydrangea is complete, finish by adding leaves and a teru-teru bozu made from colored construction paper.

Personally, I also recommend using colored film.

When displayed on a window, it might brighten up a room that feels a bit dim on a rainy day!

Teru teru bozu made of lace paperNEW!

It’s an idea where you fold the left and right sides of a halved paper lace doily inward to make the body, then attach a head made from construction paper and stickers.

Glue the finished teru teru bozu onto a backing sheet and finish by placing round stickers around it to represent raindrops.

If the child can use scissors, let them cut both the lace doily and the construction paper themselves! Using halved round stickers to show both a smiling face and a disgruntled face is also a fun idea.

It looks like my kids would love it, so I want to try it too!

[Ages 1 and up] Handmade Pom-Pom Stamp Clock FaceNEW!

Have fun rolling umbrella bags! Here’s how to make a snail.

Rainy days will become more enjoyable.

First, crumple up some tissue paper.

Rolling it up is fun too, so make plenty.

Put the crumpled tissue paper into a rolled umbrella bag.

Once it’s filled to about 80%, clip it with a clothespin so the contents don’t spill out.

Stick double-sided tape vertically and roll it up tightly.

Remove the clothespin and tie it to finish! Attach the parts you prepared in advance, like eyes, a mouth, and leaves.

Besides tissue paper, you can also try using colorful paper stamped with pom-poms for a unique touch—highly recommended!

[Ages 5+] Wobbly Frog ClockNEW!

Perfect for “Time Day,” too! First, cut an empty box in half and even out the inside height, then cover the outside with construction paper in your favorite color to make the base.

Punch a hole on top, thread through a frog that already has a chenille stem attached, and you’ve got a fun mechanism that makes it pop up.

Next, make a triangular roof out of cardstock and construction paper.

After attaching the clock, punch a hole in the center and thread the chenille stem through.

Finally, glue the top and bottom together to complete your cute “Frog Clock.” In June preschool activities, you can add rainy-season decorations like raindrops or hydrangeas, and after it’s finished, everyone can move it and play together—enjoying both the fun of making and the fun of playing.

Stamps are fun! Teru teru bozu and hydrangeasNEW!

This is a stamping activity where you can enjoy a variety of patterns using the bottom of a plastic bottle.

Choose construction paper in your favorite color and dab on paint.

Each press reveals shapes like circles or flowers, sparking the children’s excitement.

If paint gets on their hands, turning those handprints into teru-teru bozu is fun too, and you’ll see surprised reactions and smiles as they enjoy the curious textures.

Prepare several colors of construction paper and paint; some children will express themselves with lots of colors, while others will become absorbed in the changing shapes—each finding their own way to enjoy it.

Finally, if you cut out the finished patterns into hydrangea shapes and paste them, you’ll have a seasonally themed artwork, so be sure to give it a try.

Here’s a showcase of creations brimming with children’s individuality.

First, glue together two sheets of construction paper that have been pre-cut into circles, then punch holes to make the base of a wristwatch.

Draw a circle in the center in your favorite color, then freely add numbers and clock hands to create your own original dial.

Finally, thread pipe cleaners through the two holes so it can be worn on the wrist, and your cute handmade watch is complete.

If you add stickers or patterns, it’s an easy process that children as young as three can enjoy, making it perfect for “Time Day” in June.

After it’s finished, you can play by asking, “What time is it now?”—a fun activity that helps children become familiar with clocks.
