Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock

[Kindergarten/Daycare] June Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock Craft

To mark Time Day on June 10, how about making a teru-teru bozu pendulum clock? First, glue construction paper onto a milk carton to create the clock’s base.

Next, add clock hands and tick marks to a hydrangea flower made from construction paper.

Attach the hydrangea to the top of the milk carton, and a teru-teru bozu made from tissue to the bottom so it swings gently—and you’re done.

There are many steps until completion, so it’s best to spread the project over a few days.

Through the activity, it would be great if children can deepen their interest in seasonal flowers and in clocks.

Hydrangeas with stamps

[Rainy Season Craft] Perfect for the rainy season: Make hydrangeas with sponges! Easy! [For ages 0–1]

Why not try making hydrangeas, which are at their best during the rainy monsoon season? Since this project uses sponges for stamping, children can work on it safely and with ease.

First, attach rubber bands to a prepared sponge to create a stamp that resembles hydrangea petals.

Next, after sticking illustrations of hydrangea flowers and leaves onto a backing sheet, dip the stamp in paint and press it on.

It’s recommended to prepare colors that reflect hydrangea hues—such as blue, purple, and pink.

This is a craft idea that lets you experience the feel of the rainy season indoors, even on a rainy day.

Totoro’s Umbrella

Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbor Totoro is a beloved film for both children and adults.

Many people probably remember the scene where Totoro stands at the bus stop holding an umbrella.

Let’s create a piece that combines umbrellas—which get lots of use in June—with Totoro, a favorite among kids! You could boldly place a big Totoro with a big umbrella, or, as in the anime, include Satsuki and Mei, which is also recommended.

Adding Chu-Totoro and Chibi-Totoro will make the picture even more lively.

In the anime, they use a plain black umbrella, but choosing a colorful one might brighten the mood even in the rain.

Mobile water drops

[Rainy Season Craft] Perfect for the rainy season! Make a mobile of raindrops with origami!

Here’s a craft idea for a mobile with a raindrop theme, perfect for the rainy season.

A mobile is a hanging, gently swaying decor piece suspended from the ceiling.

Use origami paper with colors and patterns to make lots of raindrop-shaped ornaments, connect them with thread, and hang them from the ceiling.

A design that looks like falling rain is very stylish.

For a pop look, use shiny, reflective origami paper or ones with polka dots or stripes.

It will instantly brighten up the room’s atmosphere, making it a great recommendation for the rainy season!
