Figure-Eight Pinwheel | Make and Play! | #shorts #childcare #crafts #handmadeToys

Feel the spring breeze! Here’s how to make a figure-eight pinwheel that’s perfect for preschool activities.

You will need: paper plates, double-sided tape, wood glue, bamboo skewers, beads, and decorations.

Cut out the centers of two paper plates.

Punch four holes, then combine the plates into a figure-eight shape using double-sided tape.

Put a bit of wood glue into a bead’s hole and attach it to a bamboo skewer.

After threading it through the hole, wrap tape around the skewer so the plate doesn’t slide down.

Assemble the second tier the same way, add decorations, and you’re done!

Wavy 3D butterfly with fluttering wings

[Craft / Making] “Wings-Wobbling 3D Butterfly” Wall Decoration Craft – Preschool/Childcare Craft, Elderly Care Recreation

The fluttering wings are so cute! Here’s how to make a 3D butterfly that’s perfect for spring.

First, dip a plastic bottle cap in paint and stamp it onto thin strips of colored construction paper.

You can use both sides of the cap for different effects.

Next, cut out the butterfly’s wings with scissors to form the body-and-wing shape.

After stamping the wings as well, fold them down the middle.

Then, take the thin stamped strips and join their ends to create a 3D loop for each wing.

Make two of these and attach them to the body wings using double-sided tape.

Add pipe cleaners for the antennae, and you’re done! These are great for wall displays, so be sure to try making them with the kids.

Easy and cute! Carnation wreath

[Origami] Easy yet cute ♡ Mother’s Day gift ♡ Carnation | Carnation Mother’s Day Gift #shorts

This is an easy wreath you can make with origami.

You’ll need to make many identical parts, but the steps are simple, so give it a try.

Prepare 7.5 cm origami paper.

Fold each of the four corners inward by about 1 cm, flip it over, and fold it into a triangle.

Then fold the triangle in half three more times.

Open what you folded, push down the center, and raise the sides.

Treat this as a single petal, and layer multiple pieces to create a carnation.

Folding one sheet at a time takes a while, so it’s best to stack several sheets and fold them together.

Once the carnations are done, glue them closely over the base, add a ribbon, and you’re finished.

Carnations made from everyday items#AtHomePlayParent-child playHandmade crafts#Mother's Day

♬ Happy bright happy orchestra – 3KTrack

Let’s make carnations using paper towels and a straw.

Prepare two sheets of paper towel, draw patterns with water-based pens, then mist water over them to create a bleeding effect.

The patterns will blur away, so anything is fine! Once the paper towels are dry, cut them into quarter-size pieces, stack them, and accordion-fold.

Tie the center with a rubber band, cut both ends into zigzags, then separate the layers one by one to form the petals.

Hold a straw to the base, secure it together with several petals using masking tape to make the stem, and you’ve got a perfect Mother’s Day gift!

For Mother’s Day crafts! A bouquet of carnations

[Craft Idea] Carnation Bouquet (Mother’s Day in May) (Wall Decorations, Activities for the Elderly, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service, Childcare) (Origami DIY, Original Creation)

Here’s how to make a carnation using origami.

Prepare two 15 cm sheets of red origami paper and crumple each into a ball once to add texture.

After the wrinkles form, open them up and fold both sheets into quarters (twice into a square).

With the corner that will be the center of the flower positioned at the top left, roundly cut the edge from the bottom right toward the top left.

Use pinking shears to make a zigzag edge.

Once cut, pleat the side opposite the zigzag edge, and stack three layers to complete the flower! Combine it with a stem and leaves made from construction paper to finish the carnation.
