[Childcare] Strawberry craft ideas to enjoy in spring

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Many people probably think of strawberries as one of the motifs for spring crafts.

Since strawberries are a classic fruit that children love, they’re likely to be naturally interested in the motif itself.

In this article, we’ll introduce strawberry craft ideas using a variety of materials and expressive methods.

Choose ideas that suit children’s interests and developmental stages.

Also, don’t forget to set up the environment so children can express themselves freely.

Because the pieces children make are treated as artworks, the term is written as “seisaku” (制作) in the text.

Bleed Painting: Fluffy Strawberry

[No paint needed] Make bleed-style art with water-based pens! How to draw a cute strawberry [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Bleed Painting: Fluffy Strawberry

Let’s make cute strawberries using a bleeding/blur painting technique.

This is also a great idea for spring wall displays.

First, prepare a coffee filter and draw on it with water-based markers.

For the seeds, use a white crayon.

They won’t stand out while you’re drawing, but they’ll show up later.

Once you’re done drawing, spray the filter with water to make the markers bleed.

After the coffee filter dries, stuff it with tissue and shape it into a strawberry using tape.

Attach a calyx made from construction paper, and you’re done!

[Bubble Wrap] Strawberry Craft for Ages 4 and Up

Strawberry Craft: Easy Bubble-Wrap Project for Classroom Displays (For 4- and 5-Year-Olds)

[Bubble Wrap] Strawberry Craft for Ages 4 and Up

When making strawberries, the seeds are often represented with round stickers, but this idea uses bubble wrap.

First, cut the strawberry base, calyx, leaves, and flower parts out of construction paper.

Paint the bubble wrap with poster paint, then place the strawberry base over it and stamp.

Once it’s dry, glue on the patterned leaves, the calyx, and the flower.

You can stick the leaves and flower wherever you like.

Please prepare several colors for the strawberry bases and paints so the children can choose their favorites.

Paper Plate: Wobbly Strawberry Toy

Paper Plate: Wobbly Strawberry Toy

Here’s a cute craft idea that looks like a bunny relaxing in a strawberry patch.

If you poke it with your finger, it gently rocks and you can play with it like a toy.

To make it, first fold a paper plate in half and paint the rim green.

You can use a brush or do finger stamping—either is fine.

Cut out strawberries, leaves, and white flower pieces from origami paper and glue them onto the colored area.

Do the same for the bunny’s face and hands, and draw the face with crayons.

Finally, attach the bunny’s face and hands to the center area of the paper plate, and your wobbly strawberry toy is complete!

[Cotton Swab Stamping] Strawberry Craft Activity for Ages 2 and Up

[Spring Craft] How to Make Strawberries with Cotton Swab Stamps! [Ages 2 and up] (ASMR-style video)

[Cotton Swab Stamping] Strawberry Craft Activity for Ages 2 and Up

Let’s try making spring-like strawberries using cotton swab stamping.

This is an idea that children as young as two can enjoy.

First, cut out strawberry shapes and their leafy tops from construction paper.

An adult should handle this step.

Have the children use cotton swabs and paint to represent the seeds.

Real seeds are dark, but using yellow or light pink also looks cute.

If you press too hard, the cotton swab may break, so gently dab the paint onto the paper.

[Age 1] Tissue paper strawberries

[3D Toy] Perfect for pretend play! Easy strawberry craft even toddlers can make 🍓 [Spring Crafts]

[Age 1] Tissue paper strawberries

Here’s a craft idea for making strawberries using tissue paper.

Have the children crumple six pieces of tissue paper into balls and stuff them into a bag starting from the corners.

Tie the opening of the bag with a rubber band to close it, then trim off any excess with scissors.

Attach a paper-made calyx to the rubber band area, add round sticker “seeds,” and it’s done.

If tying the rubber band is difficult, an adult should help.

If you put double-sided tape on the back of the calyx, it can be attached like a sticker.

Black round stickers work well for the seeds, but white ones are also cute and recommended.

[Age 1] A strawberry made with paint and scribbling

Here’s an idea for strawberries that babies can make using paint and scribbling.

First, prepare a large sheet of drawing paper, a container with paint, and stamping daubers.

Let the children stamp freely with the paint-covered daubers.

Once the paint dries, it’s time for scribbling with pastel crayons.

Try drawing swirly circles or dotting here and there.

Finally, attach a paper calyx to finish! If you use brown construction paper as a “field” and stick the strawberries on it, it could make a nice wall decoration.

[Strawberry Picking] Strawberries that are fun to play with

Work No.049: “Strawberry Picking at Home (2/2)” [Handmade Toy by a Nursery Teacher]

[Strawberry Picking] Strawberries that are fun to play with

Here’s a craft idea that lets you enjoy strawberry picking at home.

First, let’s make the strawberries.

Tear up some tissue paper and stuff it into a small bag, then seal the opening with tape.

Cut a calyx shape out of construction paper, punch out the center, thread the bag through that hole, and add black sticker “seeds” to finish the strawberry.

Hang a vine made from raffia (or curling) tape in the room, and clip the strawberries onto it with clothespins.

Give the children baskets or bags and let them pick their favorite strawberries.

Enjoy the tactile fun of tearing the tissue paper and working with different textures as you craft.
