[Childcare] Feel May! A special feature of fun craft ideas to make

Chick and Four-Leaf Clover

Here’s an introduction to making chicks and four-leaf clovers.

Prepare paint, brushes, a palette, drawing paper, and crayons, and let’s get started.

Put paint on the children’s palms and have them do hand painting to color and create the four-leaf clovers.

Older children can try drawing chicks and ladybugs on the drawing paper.

For younger children, it’s also nice to have them paste pre-made chicks or ladybugs.

For the background paper, we recommend spring-like colors such as pink or light blue!

Fluffy pancakes

Introducing the Fluffy Pancake Wall Display featuring Shirokuma-chan.

Gather shaving foam, yellow and brown paint, glue, a Shirokuma-chan cutout, a frying pan, pancakes, and orange backing paper, and let’s get started.

Mix yellow and brown paint and glue into the shaving foam, then spread it onto a black frying pan to create pancakes.

Draw Shirokuma-chan’s face with crayons or felt-tip pens.

Once you’ve glued Shirokuma-chan, the pancakes, and the frying pan onto the backing paper, it’s complete! Give this adorable wall art—straight out of a picture book—a try.

Carnation clip

Let’s make it with paper towels! Here’s an idea for a carnation clip.

Paper towels are highly absorbent paper commonly used in everyday life, especially for cleaning and cooking in the kitchen.

This time, let’s use paper towels to make a carnation clip! The key is to color them with water-based markers or paints and then mist them with water.

The colors will gently spread, creating a beautiful finish.

Give it a try!

Carnation Box

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.

The kitchen sponge transforms into a butterfly!

It’s great that you can make use of familiar materials you already have at home or in the classroom! Here’s an idea where a kitchen sponge transforms into a butterfly.

The butterfly made with a kitchen sponge and a spork is appealing because the materials are easy to gather and the steps are simple.

The soft, gentle texture unique to sponges is a key feature! Cutting the sponge into smaller sizes lets you make tiny butterflies too, which is a fun twist.

Give it a try in your activities!

Butterflies drawn with colored ice water

Also great as a sensory play activity! Here’s an idea for painting butterflies using ice made from colored water.

It’s a highly recommended sensory play activity! The chill of the ice combined with the vivid colors will engage children’s senses, making the creative process fun.

As they watch the ice melt, they can enjoy the way the colors spread, making it a fulfilling activity.

It’s also nice to do on warm days out on the terrace or in the playground.

A wonderful idea to enjoy both coolness and art!
