Bubble-painted hydrangeas (3) · Easy · Wall display · June · Paint · Craft · Fun · Straw play · Hydrangea ❤︎ How to make/Bubble Hydrangea ❤︎ #525

How about making bubble-painted hydrangeas with children aged 2 and up? Put watercolor paint diluted with water and some dish soap into a cup, then use a straw to blow and create bubbles.

Once lots of bubbles form, press a sheet of drawing paper onto the bubbles to transfer them.

You’ll see tiny bubbles appear on the paper like the small florets of a hydrangea—your hydrangea artwork is complete! It’s also recommended to draw leaves around the finished hydrangeas.

It’s quick and easy, so give it a try.

Rain art made with colored water

[Rainy Season Craft] Colored Water Rain Art

On rainy days when you can’t play outside, why not take your time enjoying art indoors? Here’s a rain-themed art activity using colored water.

First, draw a rainy-day picture on construction paper with crayons.

People holding umbrellas, snails, frogs, and hydrangeas are great ideas.

Next, prepare blue, red, and yellow colored water, and use a dropper to place drops of your chosen colors across the paper.

Finally, lift the paper vertically, and the colored water will run down as if rain is falling.

It’s fascinating to watch the water flow downward and see the colors blend together—what an interesting piece of art.

I can’t wait to see how the children react.

Production of umbrellas

Umbrella Craft: Perfect for the June rainy season! A preschool teacher shows how to make it.

Hold an umbrella in your hand and skillfully control it so you don’t get wet.

By around age five, children may even be able to stand up to a bit of wind.

Let’s enjoy a craft using a roller with this familiar item, the umbrella.

Since this is a free-drawing style project, lots of fun ideas are likely to pop out.

First, temporarily tape down the paper with the pattern you want to bring out, then roll a paint-covered roller over it.

After the paint dries, peel off the temporarily fixed paper, and only that part will remain the color of the background paper.

This uses negative and positive space in the craft.

If you have a craft punch, you can make lots of stars and hearts—make good use of it!

[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.

[Collage] Hydrangea Craft

[June Project] Hydrangea Collage (Paper-Pasting Art)

Let’s make a hydrangea collage that’s perfect for the rainy season.

First, prepare origami paper in several colors and cut it into small squares.

Next, either cut out a rough, round hydrangea shape from construction paper and paste it onto another sheet, or draw the shape directly on the paper.

Depending on the children’s age, teachers may need to handle the step of cutting the squares and cutting out the hydrangea shape.

Once the prep is done, start pasting the square pieces of origami randomly onto the round hydrangea base! By letting the children work freely, you’ll end up with a wonderfully unique, one-of-a-kind hydrangea.

Let’s draw a picture using rain.

[For 5-year-olds] Let's paint using rain!

Rain during water play or swimming makes children look even more delighted.

Maybe it’s that sense of invincibility that comes from thinking, “It’s okay to get wet.” It can also be fun to create using the properties of pens—oil-based pens don’t bleed in water, while water-based pens do.

That opens up lots of inventive ways to plan in reverse: “It’s okay if this part bleeds a bit,” or “I don’t want this section to bleed.” You could even wait for a rainy day and let it actually get wet.

If you’re thinking about health considerations, a spray bottle or watering can is a good substitute.

[Color Cellophane] Making a Rainbow

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Nijiiro Craft: How to Make a Stained-Glass-Style Rainbow That Lets Sunlight Shine Through!

Let’s make a beautiful rainbow that arches across the sky after the rain using colored cellophane.

First, create a rainbow-shaped template.

Using that template, draw a rainbow on light blue construction paper to evoke the color of the sky.

Cut it out, then gradually cover the cutout with overlapping strips of clear tape.

Next, stick small pieces of colorful cellophane onto the adhesive side of the clear tape, arranging the colors to form a rainbow.

Finally, seal the cellophane by placing clear tape over the top so it won’t peel off—your rainbow is complete! If you add paper clouds, cut it out, and stick it on a window or hang it as a decoration, the light will shine through in vibrant colors and look absolutely lovely.
