[Mother’s Day] Carnation craft ideas to make with children

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

One of the events in May is Mother’s Day! Recently, there have been more events that express gratitude not only to mothers but to caregivers as well.

I’m sure children look forward to making carnations, but finding ideas can be tough.

So here, we’ll introduce ways to make carnations suited to different materials and age groups.

From simple projects to ones that require a bit of creativity, there are lots of fun options.

With gratitude in your heart, try making lovely carnations with the children.

A bouquet made with paint

The key is to finish by twirling with a cotton swab! Here are some ideas for making bouquets with paint.

Receiving a bouquet fills you with joy and emotion, doesn’t it? The colors and types of flowers convey the giver’s thoughts and feelings, warming the recipient’s heart.

This time, let’s use paint and cotton swabs to create a one-of-a-kind, special bouquet! You’ll need drawing paper, paint, cotton swabs, crayons or colored pencils, and stickers.

It’s sure to make a gift that expresses love and gratitude.

Wreath making

Gifts of appreciation from young children are special.

It’s heartwarming to feel their growth and think, “They can do this now!” Wreaths made with construction paper, origami paper, and ribbons are projects even small children can try, making them perfect Mother’s Day presents.

Try different techniques like stamping—creating shapes with clay or paper, then applying paint and stamping—or torn-paper collage, where you tear colorful origami and paste it down.

You can also decorate with pretty ribbons using a simple lacing technique.

Let’s make a one-of-a-kind wreath!

[2-year-old class] Crinkle-Crinkle Bouquet

How about making a bouquet using tissue paper, which is thinner and softer than origami paper? Create a base with a circle of thick paper and a slightly smaller patterned paper in a matching color.

Put double-sided tape on it, then stick on crumpled tissue paper pieces.

Attach a green chenille stem for the stalk, fold both sides of the base inward, and you’ve got a lovely bouquet! One of the charms of tissue paper is that it unintentionally forms flowers in all sorts of shapes.

For Mother’s Day, give a one-of-a-kind bouquet.

Cute Bouquet Card

This is a message card shaped like a bouquet of carnations, perfect for Mother’s Day.

First, fold construction paper and form it into a bouquet shape.

Make the petals using red origami paper; you can adjust the difficulty based on the child’s age, so tailor it to the grade or class.

Trace the child’s hand on construction paper, cut it out, and attach it to the card so parents can also feel their child’s growth.

Finally, write a message on the card to complete a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.

[Preschool Craft] Mother’s Day Craft! How to Make a Pop-Up Card | Pop-up Card

Popup card

A heartfelt message is always a delight, no matter what it is.

If it’s handmade with care and filled with gratitude, the joy of receiving it is all the greater.

There are many occasions for sending cards.

In spring, we have Mother’s Day.

Let’s make a glamorous pop-up card for Mother’s Day that bursts into full-bloom cherry blossoms the moment it’s opened.

To make it easy for young children, have teachers or adults prepare the flowers in advance.

Also, starch glue is easier to handle for sticking the pieces together.

The layered cherry blossoms expanding in three dimensions look wonderfully luxurious.

Bouquet made with bag stamps

Let’s have fun with pom-pom stamping! Here are some bouquet ideas you can make with bag stamps.

A bag stamp is a simple stamp that uses the knot of an air-filled bag to dab paint onto paper with a light bouncing motion.

It’s safe and recommended even for infant classes, since the fluffy bag makes stamping gentle! This time, let’s make carnations using red and pink paint.

Try drawing the stems and leaves with crayons to create a warm, cozy feel.

Mother’s Day Photo Frame

This photo frame is adorned with carnations, the must-have flowers for Mother’s Day.

The carnations are simple—just crumpled tissue paper—so focus on achieving softness and a three-dimensional look.

Then decorate the center of a paper plate with finely cut design paper, and arrange the carnations while considering color balance to finish.

It’s also recommended to add leaf decorations that highlight the carnations and to cut the photo to fit the person so that the base decorations remain visible.
