Easy mini mini umbrella made with paper plates

Rainy Season Craft: How to Make a Simple Mini Umbrella with a Paper Plate

To keep out the rainy season’s showers, an umbrella is an essential item.

Not only does it keep you from getting wet, but using a favorite umbrella can also brighten the gloomy image of the rainy season, even just a little.

Here’s a craft using paper plates, inspired by umbrellas—perfect for this rainy time of year.

Cut a paper plate in half, shape it so the tip is pointed, and finally attach a handle to complete the umbrella.

It’s important to freely draw your favorite patterns and think carefully about the design.

If you make the handle from something sturdy like a pipe cleaner, you can hang them on a string or line them up to enjoy, which is another nice touch.

Hanging Umbrella Decoration for Ages 0–2

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Umbrella Craft Ideas ♪ Cute Hanging Decorations! [Rainy Season & June Crafts/How-To]

A perfect craft for the rainy June season is a hanging decoration with an umbrella motif.

By making it together with the teacher, even very young children from ages 0 to 2 can take part.

First, prepare paper plates and let the children color them freely.

Finger painting, crayon-resist (wax-resist) techniques, or using dabbers/tampons can be used—choose according to age and preference.

Once colored, cut the paper plates in half and attach the cut edges together.

Then thread a pipe cleaner through the center to make the umbrella handle—and it’s done! After the coloring step, you can let the children choose the color of the pipe cleaner and the shape of the umbrella’s edge, while the teacher handles the actual assembly work.

[For Ages 0–1] Crinkly Tissue Paper Snail

[Nursery/Kindergarten] June Craft Perfect for the Rainy Season! How to Make a Snail [Toddler/Infant Class]

A great craft for children aged 0 to 1 is making snails using tissue paper.

First, the teacher should cut out the snail’s body, eyes, and other parts from construction paper.

Have the children crumple up lots of tissue paper in their favorite colors and stuff it into a plastic bag.

Once it’s filled to a certain point, seal the bag and shape it into a round form.

It’s best if the teacher handles the shaping step as well.

When it’s ready, attach it to the snail’s body to finish.

You’ll have a colorful, adorable snail!

[Ages 3 and up] Frog Instrument

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Let’s all make some noise♪ June Frog “Ribbit-Ribbit” Instrument Craft

A great recommendation for children aged 3 and up is making a frog-themed instrument.

Prepare a paper cup, a bendable straw, and construction paper, and start by creating a frog out of the construction paper.

You can either cut out and glue all the parts in detail or simply draw a frog on the paper.

Next, make a hole in the bottom of the paper cup large enough for the straw to pass through.

Attach the straw to the back of the frog you made first, then thread it through the hole in the cup to complete the frog instrument! The sound is produced by pushing and pulling the straw so that the corrugated part of the straw rubs and makes noise.

Depending on the children’s age, teachers should handle tasks like punching the hole in the cup and cutting the parts.

[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.
