Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock

[Kindergarten/Daycare] June Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock Craft

To mark Time Day on June 10, how about making a teru-teru bozu pendulum clock? First, glue construction paper onto a milk carton to create the clock’s base.

Next, add clock hands and tick marks to a hydrangea flower made from construction paper.

Attach the hydrangea to the top of the milk carton, and a teru-teru bozu made from tissue to the bottom so it swings gently—and you’re done.

There are many steps until completion, so it’s best to spread the project over a few days.

Through the activity, it would be great if children can deepen their interest in seasonal flowers and in clocks.

[Elderly Indoor Recreation Craft] A Frog Using a Toilet Paper Roll

During the rainy season, when we get a lot of rain, we also see frogs more often, don’t we? The way they hop as if enjoying the rain brightens up the rainy season, which often has a gloomy image.

Here’s a craft that uses frogs as a motif, made from a toilet paper roll.

Just cut slits in the roll to make the frog’s legs, fold down the back part, and then add color to finish.

Because it’s simply a matter of cutting slits and folding, it’s easy to try, which is a key point of this craft.

Handprint Teru Teru Bozu

How to Make Hydrangeas and Teru Teru Bozu: Crafting with Construction Paper and Origami | June Hydrangea (Ajisai) Origami

How about making a teru teru bōzu using a handprint and round stickers? First, take a handprint.

One hand is enough.

Once the handprint dries, turn it upside down and use it as the body.

Next, make the face by sticking round stickers or cut paper onto a circle of construction paper.

It’s also great to have the children draw the face with pens.

Finally, attach the face to the body and it’s done! Handprints can also serve as a record of growth, so it’s nice to incorporate them into various crafts.

Be sure to make a handprint teru teru bōzu and let parents see how their children are growing.
