[Childcare] Strawberry craft ideas to enjoy in spring
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.

When it comes to spring flavors, strawberries are a must! Here’s a strawberry craft that even young children can make.
Prepare bubble wrap, tissue paper, construction paper, and round stickers.
Shape the bubble wrap into a strawberry with the bubbly side facing outward.
Have the children crumple red or pink tissue paper and place it inside the strawberry shape you made.
Seal the opening with tape, then stick on the round stickers as strawberry seeds to finish.
For the calyx (leafy top), it’s best to cut it a bit larger.

Color with water-based markers! Let me show you how to make cherry blossom petals using coffee filters.
You’ll need white coffee filters, water-based markers, scissors, a spray bottle, and old paper like newspaper.
First, color the coffee filter with the water-based markers.
You can draw spirals, or straight lines vertically or horizontally.
Using 2–3 colors of markers lets you enjoy the blended effect! Next, spray the coffee filter with water.
Finally, once it’s dry, cut the coffee filter into petal shapes and you’re done.
Strawberry cake
Perfect for birthdays and events! Here are some ideas for a strawberry cake.
All you need is red origami paper.
Lots of kids love strawberry shortcake, right? Some children might only get to eat it on special occasions like birthdays or events.
Let’s try making a strawberry cake full of those memories with origami.
You can draw seeds with pens, stickers, or colored pencils, and have fun customizing it by decorating with ribbons and stickers.
strawberry tray
It’s exciting that you can make this with just one sheet of origami paper! Let me introduce an idea for a strawberry tray.
All you need to prepare is red or pink origami paper.
Make a cute tray with a strawberry motif and try putting your favorite small items or snacks in it! Some parts of the process are a bit complex, but once you master them, you can apply the techniques to various folds, so it’s a good idea to try it together with friends, guardians, or teachers.
If you color the leafy top with crayons or colored pencils, it will look even nicer!
Strawberries made with torn-paper collage
Let’s create using our fingertips! Here are some ideas for making strawberries with torn-paper collage.
You’ll need red origami paper, patterned origami paper, a backing sheet, glue or double-sided tape, scissors, flower-shaped cut paper, and strawberry calyx-shaped cut paper.
Use your fingertips to boldly tear the origami! It’s fun that the sound changes depending on how fast you tear.
Even things that seem obvious to adults can deepen the activity when you enjoy children’s discoveries as you work together.
Paste the torn pieces onto the backing sheet, then have a caregiver or teacher cut the sheet into a strawberry shape with scissors to finish.
It’s also great if the children can glue on the strawberry calyx themselves.
Square Strawberry
Perfect for early spring when children have just entered the 3-year-old class! Here’s a fun idea for making square strawberries.
You’ll need red or pink origami paper, green crayons or colored pencils, and black crayons or colored pencils.
Some children may feel intimidated by complicated origami folds.
First, let’s enjoy folding and playing with origami together with parents or teachers in a relaxed, fun way! This idea has few steps, is simple and easy to follow, and is great as a starting point for origami.
Give it a try together!

Get ready with excitement so you and the children can enjoy these cute strawberry motifs together.
