[Pom-Pom Fun!] Make a two-scoop ice cream with sponge stamping 🍨 Preschool craft | Childcare | Ideas for educators | Easy craft with kids | Stamping #IceCream #PreschoolTeacher

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s make ice cream using sponge stamps! First, take a sheet of drawing paper and dab the paint-covered stamp to create patterns.

You can use any colors you like.

Once the paint is dry, cut the paper into the shape of ice cream.

Cut brown construction paper into a cone shape, draw the cone pattern, and paste it onto a backing sheet.

Then stick the stamped ice cream on top of the cone, add patterns in the empty spaces with crayons, and you’re done! You can make several scoops and stack them to create two- or three-scoop ice cream, too.

Collage Ice Cream

[Craft for Toddlers] Collage Ice Cream 🍦🤍 [Wall Display]

Here are some ice cream craft ideas that also let you enjoy making collages.

Cut the cup or cone bases out of cardboard, then decorate them by drawing patterns with pens or using colored paper.

For the ice cream scoops, basically cut circles out of construction paper, and have fun adding various toppings with small pieces of colored paper or stickers.

It’s also cute to make “collage ice cream” by gluing torn newspaper or flyers onto the round paper scoops.

Once your ice cream is done, attach it to the base to finish.

Easy way to fold a seashell (origami)

[Summer Origami] Easy Seashell 3 Folding Method with Audio Commentary ☆ Origami Shell 3 Tutorial / Tatsukuri

Let’s make colorful, eye-catching summer seashells.

Start by folding the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Fold the left and right corners down to meet at the center bottom.

Next, fold the two middle corners outward to meet the outer corners.

Fold the left and right edges in to align with the center crease, then fold down the small triangular flap.

Again, fold the lower left and right corners in along the crease.

Fold the top corner so both sides are the same height, then tuck the corners to refine the seashell shape—and you’re done.

Enjoy crafting as you work with your hands.

Using colored pens to add patterns to the shell gives it extra dimension and is highly recommended.

It's okay to at least dream in a dream... – San Usagi

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using bubble wrap as cushioning material.

First, cut the bubble wrap into circles and stick them onto construction paper.

Be sure to leave some gaps between them.

Once you’ve painted the bubble wrap with colors, imagine them as octopuses, turtles, or fish, and use paint to add legs or heads around the bubble wrap.

Finally, stick on googly-eye stickers to finish.

It’s also cute and recommended to draw seaweed in the empty spaces or use holographic round stickers to represent bubbles in the water.

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using a plastic bottle cap stamp that even young children can enjoy easily.

The materials are super simple! All you need is construction paper, a plastic bottle cap, paint, and a paper plate.

Squeeze your favorite paint colors onto the paper plate, dab the plastic bottle cap in the paint, and then stamp it onto the construction paper—that’s it! Using two or three colors like blue and light blue makes it look beautiful.

Finally, attach shell and fish shapes made from construction paper that you prepared in advance to complete the artwork.

It’s also lovely to add motifs you folded yourself with origami.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Let’s make a summery “Sea Creatures Tapestry.” We’ll create three creatures: a fish, a jellyfish, and an octopus.

For the fish, put crumpled tissue paper into a clear plastic bag, tie it with a pipe cleaner, then secure the corners with tape.

For the jellyfish, stuff a clear plastic bag with tissue paper, shape it into a round form with tape, and attach shredded curling ribbon to make the tentacles.

Make the octopus the same way: put tissue paper in a bag and tie it with a pipe cleaner.

For the base, thread a string through a straw, wrap the straw with curling ribbon, and then attach the creatures to complete the tapestry.

Sea creatures made with simple paper plates

Let’s make a cute seagull sailor using a paper plate.

It’s super easy! Fold the paper plate in half and position it with the curve facing downward.

Glue on a face, wings, a hat, and other parts made from construction paper, then draw the face and body with crayons to finish.

If you use a blue crayon to draw the sailor’s outfit details, it’ll look even more refreshing and summery.

The gentle rocking motion is adorable.

Be sure to craft and play while singing the song “Kamome no Suihei-san” together!
