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

Carnation Coaster

Cute to display and fun to use! Let me share an idea for carnation coasters.

This idea uses simple steps to create charming carnation coasters! What you’ll need: origami paper, decorative materials like rhinestone stickers, and a plastic container lid.

Cut out a carnation design from the origami paper, then sandwich it between the plastic container lid pieces.

Decorate the edge of the coaster with rhinestone stickers, and you’re done.

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!

Memory Apron

It's not too late! This is perfect for Mother's Day!#Mother's DayPresentHandmadeHandmade giftchildrenParentingWith childrenphoto#My parenting

Photos of cherished memories pop out from the pocket! Here’s an idea for a Memory Apron.

It’s an adorable Mother’s Day gift we highly recommend.

You’ll need photos or drawings, paper plates, construction paper, and decorative materials like pom-poms and ribbons.

It’s great that you can get all the supplies at a 100-yen shop, too.

Using paint to dab and stamp color onto the apron is a fun part of the process!

Mother’s Day Gift Making: Flower Bouquet Accessory Case

Here’s a three-dimensional craft idea that makes use of paper plates.

Cut slits into a paper plate, fold it up, and secure it to form a small box-like shape.

Attach floral decorations along the top edge, then stick a doily over the top.

The addition of the doily gives it the look of a luxurious flower bouquet.

It works beautifully as a cute ornament, and it’s also practical as a small container.

For even more originality, you can make the floral decorations by adding colorful stickers or drawing your own designs.

Milk carton vase

[Craft] Let's make a handmade vase from a milk carton [Mother's Day]

How about the idea of a milk-carton vase as something that can be used after it’s received? This project has two main steps.

The first is cutting the milk carton to create the vase shape.

The second is cutting construction paper to the size of the vase, coloring it, and gluing it on to decorate the vase.

Since cutting the milk carton requires strength, please have the teacher handle that part.

As for cutting the construction paper, let the children work on it according to their age.

In that case, prepare construction paper with pre-drawn cut lines in advance.

Cute Bouquet Card

I made “Mother’s Day Card (1)” • How to make it • For 3-year-olds • For 5-year-olds • Handprint • Bouquet • Craft ❤︎ How to make a Mother’s Day card for kids/craft ❤︎ #516

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.

Popup card

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