[Childcare] June wall display ideas

The goldfish ran away.

Let’s make a wall decoration inspired by the picture book “The Goldfish Has Run Away”! This book not only tells the story of a goldfish that escaped, but also includes a playful element where you can search for where the goldfish is hiding.

If you create a piece that lets children look for the goldfish just like in the book, they can enjoy it as an interactive wall decoration! Rather than using only the scenes that appear in the book as motifs, you might also incorporate items children usually play with or places they often visit.

That way, they may feel the world of the artwork is even more familiar.

Kerokerokeroppi’s Flower Clock

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

Here’s an idea for making a floral clock decorated with Kerokerokeroppi, the frog character.

Use a paper plate as the base, add floral decorations and other embellishments to make it colorful, and design the clock hands so they can move.

That way, kids can learn to tell time while playing.

Once the base and decorations are complete, add a Kerokerokeroppi made from construction paper.

Using a frog—an animal that represents rainy days—as the theme also gives the piece a seasonal feel.

Rainy Season Origami: Super Easy Droplet Folding with Audio Commentary ☆ Origami Drop Tutorial – June Decorations

Let’s make a cute little raindrop out of origami to gently lift those gloomy rainy-day moods.

Believe it or not, it only takes four folds! There are very few steps to complete, and most of the folds are straight, so even younger children can give it a try.

Older preschoolers and kindergarteners might enjoy making several.

It’s very simple, so decorating is recommended—draw a face with crayons or add your favorite stickers.

Make lots of raindrops and string them vertically to look like rain; even indoors, kids can feel the unique atmosphere of the rainy season.

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.
