[Origami] Strawberry

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Spring Origami Craft – April/May / Strawberry: how to hold an origami strawberry

Here’s an origami strawberry idea that could also be used as a May wall decoration.

Align the corners of the origami paper and fold it into a triangle.

Open the paper, then fold the two adjacent edges in along the crease.

Fold the pointed part you just made up to meet the base of the top triangle, and fold the bottom two corners in to meet the center line.

Tuck the left and right corners slightly inward, flip the paper over, and fold the top corner down about 2 cm to finish.

The folded-down part will be the leaf, so color it green with a pen!

Broad beans you make by sticking (pieces) on

Spring Craft: “Broad Beans” Easy How-To Explained by a Preschool Teacher (for 2–3-year-olds) #shorts

Broad beans, which are said to be in season from April to June, are perfect for spring crafts.

This time, we’ll introduce a craft that uses broad beans.

Prepare by pre-cutting the pod and bean shapes from construction paper.

If the children are comfortable using scissors, it’s also great to let them cut the pieces themselves.

Glue the pod and beans onto a base sheet of construction paper, draw faces on the beans, and you’re done.

The steps are very simple, so even young children can enjoy making it.

The vivid green of the broad beans is sure to energize the kids.

Give it a try!

Sticky Felt Balloon

Here’s an idea for making balloons that takes advantage of felt’s soft, fluffy texture.

First, cut light blue construction paper into the shape of a balloon.

Next, cut felt in three colors into triangles and squares.

Finally, use wood glue to attach the felt pieces onto the balloon, and make a handle with yarn to finish.

It’s also cute to decorate them so that animals or characters appear to be holding the balloons.

Adjust tasks like cutting the paper and using scissors based on the children’s ages and interests.

Not just felt—using a variety of materials like ribbons and beads and sticking them onto the balloon is also recommended.

Please use this as a reference!

@tomonite_official

A perfect Mother’s Day gift! I made a carnation box using materials you can get at the 100-yen shop. If you write messages of daily gratitude or little perks on the petals, it can be enjoyed like a lucky draw. 🌹👍🏼 ============ ■ Materials • Construction paper • Masking tape • Muffin cups or a small box ■ How to make 1. Cut the construction paper to the height of the muffin cup; the width should be about three times the height (prepare about 8–10 sheets, depending on size). 2. Write your messages on the construction paper. 3. Roll each sheet into a tube, secure it with masking tape, and pack them vertically into the muffin cup until it’s full. ■ Notes ※ If children are making this, please do it together with an adult. ============#tomoniteTominiteMother’s Day craftSimple craft#Mother'sDayGift

The lottery-style recreation element is unique and fun! Here’s an idea for a carnation box.

On red or pink construction paper, like the color of carnations, write messages of gratitude or things you love about Mom.

Each card carries the children’s heartfelt thoughts, making it an idea that could bring tears of affection as she reads them.

It’s also nice to write perks like “Massage Coupon” or “Help Coupon.” Think up the messages together with your child and give them as a gift.

Kitchen paper bouquet

You can even create your own original vivid colors! Here are some ideas for kitchen paper towel bouquets.

Let’s arrange everyday paper towels that are familiar to kids and try making a bouquet.

You’ll need paper towels, water-based markers, a spray bottle, scissors, and pipe cleaners.

After cutting the paper towels into circles and coloring them with water-based markers, shape them with pipe cleaners and spray them with water.

The steps are simple, but the result is beautiful and brilliant.

It’s also nice to add a touch with wrapping.
