Preschool: Hydrangea craft ideas, including target ages and techniques

[Sponge Stamp] Hydrangea Flower

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

Here’s a craft idea using a hydrangea stamp.

First, as preparation, make a stamp by wrapping rubber bands in a cross around a sponge cut into a square.

Also, cut out a hydrangea base and leaves from construction paper.

Have the children stamp the hydrangea base using the sponge dipped in paint.

Because the rubber bands are wrapped in a cross, it creates a shape that looks just like four petals.

Once the hydrangeas are finished, glue them onto another sheet of construction paper.

It’s also cute to add raindrops or snails in the empty spaces.

[Origami] Hydrangea Flower

Origami Craft: “Hydrangea”

When you think of flowers that bloom in June, many people probably picture hydrangeas.

Let’s incorporate hydrangeas into a June craft.

First, divide a sheet of origami paper into four equal parts.

Fold one piece into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.

Open the triangle to form a square.

Next, with the flaps facing up, fold both sides toward the center.

Repeat the same steps on the back side.

Once you spread the flaps out to the top, bottom, left, and right, the petal part is complete.

Finally, place several petal pieces onto a leaf-shaped piece of origami and glue them down to finish.

If you make lots of flower pieces in various colors, you can create an even more vibrant hydrangea.

Using washi or dyed paper for the leaves can also give it a beautiful finish.

Hydrangea and snail balloon decorations

[Balloon Craft] Hydrangea and Snail Balloon Decoration 🎈

Let’s make hydrangea and snail decorations using balloons! First, inflate a balloon to a small size.

Stick torn pieces of Japanese calligraphy paper (hanshi) onto the balloon with laundry starch glue; once it’s fully covered, let it dry and then paint it with your favorite colors.

Next, cut out the hydrangea and snail parts from construction paper.

For the hydrangea, fold the paper into quarters, draw a template, cut it out, and place a round sticker in the center.

Accordion-fold the leaves to give them a three-dimensional look.

For the snail, draw a spiral pattern on the shell.

Attach each part to the balloon in a nice balance, wrap a rubber band around the balloon’s neck, and you’re done.

It’s a craft idea packed with the spirit of June!

[Soap Bubble Art] Bubbling Hydrangea

Let's Play with Soap Bubble Art and Bubble Art♪ June Wall Decoration: Making Hydrangeas ♡ And Let's Write Letters Now When We Can't Meet, with DIY [Handmade Envelopes]! [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

Here’s a creative idea using bubble solution.

Add color to the bubble solution, blow it until it foams up, and use the foam to make a picture.

This technique is also known as bubble art.

It results in unique, dreamy patterns that you could never create by hand.

It’s a perfect method for expressing hydrangeas, where many small flowers come together to form one large bloom.

Watching the bubbles puff up as you blow into the solution is part of the fun, too.

It’s a craft idea that kids will be completely absorbed in and enjoy.

[Age 0] Making hydrangeas through sensory play

Hydrangea crafts that double as sensory play ♪ Includes kids’ crafting in action!

Here’s a craft idea that incorporates sensory play.

Sensory play is play that uses familiar items to engage the senses—sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.

To incorporate it, first prepare white drawing paper, cut it into a circle, and make a hydrangea base.

Next, add color to the hydrangea—and this is where you can enjoy sensory play.

Put about three colors of paint into a zippered plastic bag.

Then add liquid laundry starch (or laundry glue) and seal the zipper.

While enjoying the soft, squishy texture through the bag, you can mix the colors.

It’s a craft idea that’s fun while also developing the senses.

[Bleeding Watercolor] 3D Hydrangea

3D! How to Make Hydrangeas — Enjoying Blurred Art with Water-Based Markers

Here’s an idea for making bleed art that takes advantage of the unique qualities of water-based pens.

Water-based pens dissolve in water.

Using this property, try dyeing paper such as kitchen paper in soft, pale colors.

The way light blue, pink, and purple gently blend together is perfect for representing hydrangeas.

Through this activity, you can also learn the difference between water-based and oil-based pens.

Wrap a crumpled piece of paper with the kitchen paper dyed in your favorite colors, and you’ll have a three-dimensional hydrangea artwork.

[Newspaper Stamps] Hydrangea Craft

Let’s make a June flower—hydrangeas—using newspaper stamps.

First, cut out the hydrangea and leaf bases from construction paper.

An adult should handle the cutting.

Create a stamp from newspaper, apply paint, and stamp onto the hydrangea base.

Color the leaf base in the same way, but using a real leaf as a stamp instead of newspaper is also recommended.

Once you’ve glued the hydrangea and leaf bases together, it’s complete! Try attaching it to a background with painted rain or use it as a wall decoration.
