[May] Have Fun with 3-Year-Olds! Craft Ideas Perfect for May

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

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.

By May, three-year-olds may be gradually getting used to their new school year.

Since the weather is pleasant, it’s a great time to actively incorporate outdoor activities.

May is also marked by events like Children’s Day and Mother’s Day, so in this article we’ll introduce crafts related to these occasions, as well as craft ideas you can enjoy outdoors.

Find ideas that suit your class’s atmosphere, interests, and curiosities.

Let’s enjoy making things together with the children!

Because the things children create are treated as works, we use the term “seisaku” (制作) in the text.

[Preschool Teacher] Quick and Easy! How to Make a Paper Plate Frisbee ✨ [Nursery School / Kindergarten]

Let’s make a paper plate toy that’s perfect for playing outside! Start by marking the rim so the paper plate is divided into eight equal sections.

First, mark a cross, then fill in the spaces between those marks.

It doesn’t have to be exact, so no need to measure precisely! Once you’ve made the marks, draw four small circles just inside the rim, skipping every other section.

Draw any picture you like in the center of the plate, then make small cuts with scissors along the marks on the rim.

Fold the sections with the circle marks inward and the others outward—and you’re done! Be careful when using scissors.
