[Childcare] Rainy days can be fun too! Recommended rainy-season craft ideas for June

raincoat

A raincoat is indispensable during the rainy season.

Here’s an idea to use raincoats—something familiar and friendly to children—as a wall decoration.

Instead of simply cutting out raincoat shapes and displaying them, why not try adding a creative twist? Prepare raincoats in a variety of bright colors, then create patterns by rolling marbles dipped in paint over colored construction paper, or by flicking paint from a brush in a dripping style.

After adding the patterns, cut the paper into raincoat shapes to make unique, personalized raincoats.

Hanging ornament of umbrellas and raindrops

These days you can even find transparent origami paper at 100-yen shops.

How about using that transparent origami to make a hanging decoration of umbrellas and raindrop shapes? Use pipe cleaners to make the umbrella handles.

With umbrellas in different colors and raindrops fluttering gently, it’s a delightful, mesmerizing decoration to look at.

You can make it with colored cellophane too, but transparent origami paper is sturdier and holds its shape more easily.

You can also get pipe cleaners and nylon thread at 100-yen shops.

It should look even more beautiful when the light hits it.

Handprint snail

During the rainy season, you’ll have more chances to spot snails in places like the playground, right? How about drawing snails using handprints! One method is to prepare the parts other than the shell with construction paper and stamp the handprint for the shell.

You can also get creative with the handprint placement and make the body from a handprint as another option.

If the teacher uses their hand, you’ll get a larger snail, but it’s also recommended to have the children help a little and use their own handprints to make snails for wall decorations.

Try creating a lively piece where the snails happily crawl along!

Let’s make a rainy-season inspired craft using shrink plastic! Draw hydrangeas, frogs, raindrops, and other rainy-season motifs on the plastic sheet with colored pencils, then cut around the drawings.

Coat each piece with resin and cure it under a UV light.

Place small, finely cut and heated pieces of shrink plastic onto the hydrangea section, then cure again.

Arrange all the parts in your preferred layout, layer on more resin, and cure to finish.

You’ll have a cool, transparent-looking craft! It also makes a great keychain or bag charm.

Rainy Day Bear

Let’s use the marble-rolling art technique to make a cute “Rainy Day Bear.” First, place small drops of paint on drawing paper and roll marbles over it.

Be sure to use a container with raised edges so the marbles don’t roll out.

Since this will become the bear’s raincoat, choose bright colors for a cute finish.

Once the paint is dry, cut it into the shape of a raincoat and attach the bear’s face and rain boots.

Finally, use a green paint handprint as a leaf umbrella for the bear to hold, and you’re done!

[Sponge Stamps] Colorful Umbrellas

[Rainy Season Craft] Make Cute Umbrellas! Perfect for Rainy-Season Projects! Easy with Sponges! [For 1-Year-Olds]

Here’s a fun umbrella craft idea where kids can dab paint like stamps using a sponge.

Cut construction paper into the shape of an umbrella, and prepare a sponge for applying paint plus one chenille stem (pipe cleaner).

An adult should handle the prep.

Put paint on a palette, dab the sponge in the paint, and have the children stamp it onto the construction paper.

If you provide a variety of colors, you’ll get cute, colorful umbrellas.

Once the umbrella is decorated, attach the chenille stem to the back of the paper to finish!

Paper Plate Resist-Painting Umbrella

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Resist-Painting Umbrellas Made with Paper Plates [Rainy Season Craft]

Here’s a perfect craft idea for June: a resist painting umbrella.

First, use crayons to draw umbrella patterns on the back of a paper plate.

Once you’ve finished the patterns, paint over them and enjoy the resist effect.

If you thin the paint with plenty of water, it will repel nicely from the crayon.

Cut a slit in the paper plate and overlap the cut edges to form the umbrella shape.

Make a small cut on one end of a straw and open it up; then tape it to the back of the umbrella-shaped paper plate, and you’re done! If you bend the accordion part of the straw, it becomes the umbrella handle.
