[Childcare] A collection of craft ideas for enjoying Setsubun

3D oni made from colored construction paper

February wall display with a Setsubun theme: handmade paper craft “Oni”

Here’s an idea for making a three-dimensional ogre (oni) out of colored construction paper that really catches the eye.

You can download the template for this project, so feel free to use it if you want to make it exactly as shown.

The basic process is to cut the front of the face, the back, and the chin from construction paper, glue them together to form the base, and then attach the horns, hair, and facial features to finish.

The key to this idea is to curve the front face piece—the base of the face—into an arch to create a rounded surface.

By creasing the nose before gluing it on, you’ll also achieve a more three-dimensional look.

Oni head made with tissue paper

[Craft Idea] Setsubun! Ogre’s Head (February wall decoration) (elderly recreation, day service, occupational therapy, childcare, tissue paper, ogre pants, holly and sardine talisman, plum blossoms, DIY) (poster-size)

This is an ogre head made from tissue paper that’s useful for creating Setsubun wall decorations.

The ogre’s hair is represented with tissue paper, and a fan-shaped piece of origami is rolled into a cone to make the horns.

For the hair, stack several sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, tie the center, and then gently peel apart each layer.

Before attaching the horns, it looks just like a flower, so making them in various colors will make your wall look like a flower garden.

By adding the horns, you can keep it festive while clearly conveying the Setsubun theme.

Instructions for making holly-and-sardine decorations (hiiragi iwashi) and plum blossoms are also included, so feel free to use them as a reference.

Cute Oni Made From a Single Sheet of Origami!

[Setsubun Origami] Easy! Cute Oni (Ogre) Folding Method / Make it with One Sheet of Origami – Origami Ogre

Perfect for Setsubun origami crafts! This is an oni (ogre) face made from a single sheet of origami paper.

First, place the white side of the paper facing up and do the zabuton fold twice.

Next, take the left and right corners you folded toward the center and fold them back outward, then fold those corners slightly inward to form the ears.

Once the ears are done, fold the lower left and right corners into small triangles to round out the face shape.

Then, unfold the top corner that you folded in during the zabuton fold.

Make a slit in this section with scissors to divide it left and right, and fold each into a triangle to create the oni’s horns.

Make the hair and eyes from separate origami paper or stickers, and draw the facial features with a pen.

This fun activity of dabbing with a sponge is a perfect February craft: making oni (Japanese ogre) characters full of seasonal flair.

It’s very easy to create cute oni, making this idea ideal for daycare centers and at home.

Cut out the oni’s face, hair, and horns from construction paper and glue them together.

Make a stamp using a sponge and a wooden skewer or chopstick, dip it in paint, and stamp the hair area.

It’s fun to see the sponge create patterns as you stamp.

Draw the face with black and red pens, and your adorable oni is complete.

Because it’s quick and simple, it’s perfect for one-year-olds.

Here’s a craft idea for making an ogre using construction paper and tissue paper.

In this activity, you’ll crumple tissue paper and stick it onto a paper base made from construction paper.

Use your hands and fingers well to crumple the paper.

Once the tissue paper is crumpled, attach it to the base with double-sided tape.

Next, stick the eyes, mouth, and horn parts onto the ogre’s face base, add the hair, and you’re done.

Please have an adult cut out the necessary parts in advance.

If you put double-sided tape on the back of the face and horn parts to make them like stickers, even one-year-olds can stick them on by themselves and enjoy it.

Oni Masks and Preparing for Setsubun

@lienkashii

In the 1-year-old class, we made oni (ogre) masks☺️ We drew patterns on the inside of a milk carton using strings and pipe cleaners, then used paint to make stamps! We also made paper bands so they can wear them on their heads, and we’re getting ready for Setsubun👹 We’ll keep posting about the charms of our daycare, tips from childcare workers, and helpful parenting information🎶 Please follow us at @lien_kashii3550 🤲Bean-throwing (Setsubun)Setsubun craftDemon mask#Demon ProductionCrafts for 1-year-oldsDemonStampState of the nurseryMake children’s everyday moments more photographic#SmilingPhoto#Nursery School CraftFukuoka CityHigashi Ward#Nursery school#FukuokaCityNurserySchoolCertified Childcare and Education CenterLianshii Nursery SchoolParentingChildcare#AuthorizedNurserySchoolKashii#Hoikatsu (childcare enrollment activities)Searching for a nurseryLife with childrenMomDadRecruiting KindergartenersRecruiting childcare workers

An oni mask that’s fun to make and fun to enjoy after it’s finished is a perfect idea for a February craft.

Before you start, try reading a picture book about oni to spark creative inspiration—you might enjoy it even more.

Speaking of oni features, their hair is curly.

Let’s express that hair using stamps.

You can easily make a stamp by creating curly patterns with string or pipe cleaners on a milk carton.

Dip the stamp in paint, then dab it onto construction paper.

Cut it into a fluffy hairstyle, add horns, and you’re done.

Attach a paper band so it can be worn on the head.

Have fun with 1-year-olds! Setsubun ideas

When February comes, we think of Setsubun, and when we think of Setsubun, we think of oni (ogres)! Some childcare centers and families might enjoy bean-throwing with a teacher dressed as an oni.

For crafts during this season, let’s make cute oni to boost the Setsubun mood! First, use white construction paper to create the oni’s hairstyle, then make the hair with crumpled washi paper.

Use a dropper to suck up paint and drip it onto the washi.

It’s fun to watch the oni’s hair gradually get dyed by the paint.

Changing colors to create a gradient can make it even more exciting.

Attach the horns and facial parts, and you’re done.

Dyeing the hair with paint and creating three-dimensional oni hair make this a delightful craft.
