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.

Tadpoles are the larvae of frogs that appear in places where water collects, such as rivers and ponds.

First, cut a folded sheet of black origami paper, then fold it again while imagining a fish-like silhouette.

Attach round stickers with eyes drawn on them, and then stick the pieces onto a backing sheet to finish.

You can also try adding multiple tadpoles, or creating them together with seasonal illustrations like frogs and hydrangeas.

snail

[Nursery/Kindergarten] June Craft Perfect for the Rainy Season! How to Make a Snail [Toddler/Infant Class]

Here are some craft ideas themed around snails, the quintessential creatures of the rainy season.

Let’s make various kinds of snails—from ones you can place in a room to wall-hanging decorations! If you’re using construction paper, we recommend adding patterns with batik techniques or stamping.

Once you roll the construction paper into a spiral, attach eyes made from pipe cleaners to finish.

If you’re using a paper plate, you can depict the snail’s pattern with torn-paper collage.

You can also put tissue paper into a clear bag to create a three-dimensional snail.

Try making projects that harness children’s free and creative ideas.

[June Craft] Time Day ♪ Kerokerokeroppi Flower Clock ♡ Cute Craft ♡ Crafts for 0-, 1-, and 2-year-olds — with introduction —

Here’s an idea for making a floral clock decorated with Kerokerokeroppi, the frog character.

Use a paper plate as the base, add floral decorations and other embellishments to make it colorful, and design the clock hands so they can move.

That way, kids can learn to tell time while playing.

Once the base and decorations are complete, add a Kerokerokeroppi made from construction paper.

Using a frog—an animal that represents rainy days—as the theme also gives the piece a seasonal feel.
