Simple hydrangea

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make Hydrangeas 💐 [Quick and Simple] June Decorations | How to Make Paper Hydrangea, Paper Flower.

Here’s an easy hydrangea craft that combines origami and tissue paper.

Prepare origami paper, tissue paper, a stapler, a felt-tip pen, and glue, and let’s get started.

Fold the origami paper in half twice.

On the folded paper, lightly sketch cutting lines by drawing a curve at the corners.

Cut along the lines with scissors and open it up to finish the shape.

Stack four sheets of tissue paper, staple them, and then open the tissue paper layers one by one to fluff them up.

Gently place the cut origami hydrangea on top of the opened tissue paper and glue them together.

Making a lot of these will add depth and volume to your hydrangeas and help you feel the season.

Swaying Creation

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Rainy season craft / Hydrangea / How to make a fun June craft that gently sways ♡

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!

Clock-making for Time Memorial Day (ages 0–2)

[June Craft] Time Day ♪ Kerokerokeroppi Flower Clock ♡ Cute Craft ♡ Crafts for 0-, 1-, and 2-year-olds — with introduction —

A recommended activity for children aged 0 to 2 is making a clock for Time Day on June 10.

Prepare a paper plate and stick crumpled tissue paper around the rim.

On the inside, add the clock numbers and attach the hands using origami paper, and it’s done.

You can also decorate the edges with leaves or rainy-season creatures if you like.

Have the children do steps like crumpling the tissue paper and sticking on the crumpled tissue paper, the numbers, and the clock hands.

If you thread a ribbon through it, you can hang it on the wall as a decoration.

Before starting the craft, point out the clocks in the room to spark the children’s interest in clocks.

[Finger Painting] Colorful Snails

When June arrives, we often see snails on hydrangeas.

Their cute and curious appearance makes them popular with children.

Here’s an idea for making snails using a finger-painting technique.

First, draw a spiral for the snail’s shell on construction paper.

Then place a mixture of paint and liquid laundry glue on top, and seal it inside a plastic bag.

Let the children touch the bag and spread the paint around as they like from the outside.

Once the painting is done, cut out the spiral and attach it to a body made from a toilet paper roll.

Use several colors of paint to create colorful snails that will blow away the rainy-season blues!

snail

Art using marbles is gaining attention.

It’s fun to dip marbles in paint and roll them around on paper to create unpredictable patterns, and it can also lead to surprising results beyond your expectations.

Here, choose a round sheet of paper in your favorite color and roll marbles coated in colors you like to make a pattern on it.

We’ll use that as the snail’s shell.

Snails go well with rainy scenes, and the traces left by the marbles—like after a rain—should match nicely, creating a lovely atmosphere.

First, decorate the paper plate.

You can decorate it any way you like! You can paint it, draw with crayons, or enjoy making a torn-paper collage.

Once you’ve finished decorating the plate, cut out the snail’s body and eye parts from construction paper and assemble them.

Finally, attach the paper plate as the shell, and you’re done.

This idea works great as a craft activity and also as a wall decoration.

Hydrangea and snail balloon decorations

[Balloon Craft] Hydrangea and Snail Balloon Decoration 🎈

Let’s make hydrangea and snail decorations using balloons! First, inflate a balloon to a small size.

Stick torn pieces of Japanese calligraphy paper (hanshi) onto the balloon with laundry starch glue; once it’s fully covered, let it dry and then paint it with your favorite colors.

Next, cut out the hydrangea and snail parts from construction paper.

For the hydrangea, fold the paper into quarters, draw a template, cut it out, and place a round sticker in the center.

Accordion-fold the leaves to give them a three-dimensional look.

For the snail, draw a spiral pattern on the shell.

Attach each part to the balloon in a nice balance, wrap a rubber band around the balloon’s neck, and you’re done.

It’s a craft idea packed with the spirit of June!
