[Childcare] Recommended for Father's Day! Gift-making ideas that will delight dads (21–30)
Surprise accessory case
Let’s make a slightly surprising gift where a flower pops out when you open a paper cup.
Have the children freely decorate the two paper cups.
Washi tape and stickers are handy to have.
Next, make the flowers to go inside using tissue (flower) paper.
Adjust the tasks according to the children’s ages.
Create a spring with construction paper and attach it to the bottom of the paper cup, and you’re good to go.
When it opens with a pop and the pretty flowers spring out, parents are sure to be delighted.

Let’s make it with clay! Here are some ideas for a cupcake memo stand.
Turn a practical memo holder into an adorable cupcake shape using clay.
Just spotting your cupcake memo stand will warm your heart every time! All you need are paper clay, clips, and beads.
The beads will be used as decorative toppings, so choosing your favorite colors and shapes will get kids excited, too.
Give it a try!
Skeleton uchiwa (transparent handheld fan)
A unique idea you’ll want to display by the window! Here are some ideas for skeleton-style uchiwa fans.
What you’ll need: the fan frame (ribs), stickers and decals, frill lace, scissors, a craft knife, a hot glue gun, glue or tape, an A3 card case, and photos or flowers.
Uchiwa fans, which have recently become popular as “oshi-katsu” (supporting your favorites) items, can be turned into a skeleton design by inserting children’s photos.
Hold them up to the blue sky or a flower field and the changing background looks adorable.
Give it a try!
tile coaster
Let’s customize a portrait illustration and make it into tile coasters! Here are some ideas.
Coasters are small mats for placing drinks, and they come in various materials like wood, plastic, glass, paper, and felt.
This time, we’ll use cork coasters—also available at 100-yen shops—to create handmade tile coasters.
What you’ll need: cork coasters or cork sheets, drawing paper with a portrait illustration, colored construction paper, glass tiles, self-adhesive laminating sheets, and craft glue.
Put your gratitude into it and give it as a gift.

Love at First Sight – Masato Funatsu
Let’s get everything you need at the 100-yen shop! Here’s an idea for a photo frame that looks like mosaic tiles.
A handmade photo frame is a wonderful way to convey the giver’s heartfelt feelings as a thoughtful gift.
Original designs created by children add a special touch and will become a keepsake for parents as well.
Attach photos or portraits to a clear file or laminating film, then decorate around them with transparent origami paper stuck onto nano tape.
Finish it off with a ribbon, and you’re done!
Magnets made from paper clay
Why not make a one-of-a-kind paper clay magnet and give it to a parent or guardian? First, use paint and paper clay to create clay in your favorite color, then shape it.
Any shape you like is fine—hearts, stars, and more.
Before the clay dries, use glue to attach beads and sequins and press them in lightly.
If you set up the environment so children can easily turn their ideas into forms, they’ll be able to focus and engage.
Attach a magnet to the back and add a message card, and it’s done! They’ll likely display it in a spot they see every day, like the refrigerator.
A rainbow-colored bouquet
Why not present a handmade bouquet to parents and express your gratitude? First, glue a lace paper doily onto a sheet of construction paper cut into a circle.
Next, prepare flowers in a variety of colors.
Using a craft punch will give you neat flowers of uniform size.
Fold the lace paper into the shape of a bouquet, then arrange the flowers and glue them on.
Finish by adding a ribbon made from construction paper.
This vibrant, never-wilting bouquet will become a cherished memory for the parents.
