Preschool: Hydrangea craft ideas, including target ages and techniques

Clock with a snail and hydrangeas

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Rainy season clock craft / Hydrangeas / Snails / Frogs / Makes sounds / Stands on its own / How to make a clock craft ♡

This is a craft idea where the snail’s shell becomes a clock.

Cut the snail’s body, eyes, and four hydrangea flowers out of construction paper.

Make a hole in the center of a paper cup and thread a pipe cleaner through the hole to act as the clock hands.

Attach the hydrangea flowers with numbers written on them, and after applying double-sided tape around the area, decorate with torn flower paper.

Glue the cup in place with the snail’s body sandwiched in between, attach the eyes to the body, draw the face, and you’re done! Since the snail will tip over as-is, be sure to cut off the bottom portion of the cup.

Crumpled origami hydrangea

Easy original hydrangea with origami! Includes kids' crafting process!

This is a hydrangea craft expressed by crumpling origami.

Since you simply squeeze and crumple the paper in your hands, all you need is finger strength—no tools required.

It’s a simple craft idea that’s perfect for children around one year old.

If the teacher prepares the hydrangea base, as well as leaves and snails to decorate around it, the activity will go smoothly.

Prepare three sheets of origami in different colors, and just glue on the crumpled pieces to finish.

Crumpling the origami lets children enjoy the tactile sensation, so it’s highly recommended.

[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.

Torn-paper collage: Creating vibrant hydrangeas

[Origami Play] Hydrangea: Ajisai / A perfect educational craft for children using origami [Paper Collage]

Let’s try making torn paper art (chigiri-e) by tearing colorful construction paper and origami.

We’ll paste the torn pieces onto a hydrangea base prepared by the teacher.

You can enjoy the tactile feel of tearing and ripping paper.

If you tear the pieces too small, it can be difficult when gluing them, so it’s best to tear them a little larger.

Also, the thickness and texture of different papers—like origami and construction paper—change how it feels to tear them.

This is a craft idea that lets you enjoy a variety of sensations with your fingers while you create.

[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.

[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.
