[Childcare] A collection of craft ideas to make for Mother's Day

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!

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.

Wall decoration with a helper ticket

Family Day present making (Kindergarten senior class)

Perfect for a Family Day gift! Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that comes with “help coupons.” Express your gratitude to parents and guardians through helpful actions! Children will also feel happy when their parents use the help coupons.

Include the coupons along with a message card, a portrait drawing, and origami flowers, and present them as a set.

It’s great to decide the kinds of help together with each child through discussion.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Lantern-style memo stand

Make it with a plastic cup! Here’s an idea for a lantern-like memo stand.

A memo stand is an item used to hold memos or cards upright.

It’s handy for placing on a shelf or table to keep memos organized and easy to see! Since it’s handmade, it’s both practical and warm in feel.

You’ll need a plastic cup, transparent origami paper, scissors, glue, a craft knife, and a message card.

If you turn on a light inside the plastic cup, it looks lovely—just like a lantern!
