[Childcare] Spring craft ideas to enjoy with 2-year-olds! Techniques and materials included

Spring Stroll Bag

Let’s play by collecting and storing the treasures you find! Here are some ideas for a spring walk bag.

You’ll need a zippered plastic bag, round stickers, masking tape, duct tape, vinyl tape, oil-based colored pens, a hole punch, and vinyl string.

Spring is a wonderful season for walks because you can play while experiencing abundant nature! You might find not only leaves and flowers but also small stones with interesting shapes and beautiful colors.

If you have a handmade walking bag with you, you can stash your discovered treasures right on the spot.

Let’s go search for spring with a special, handmade walk bag!

A bed for Little Broad Bean made of cotton

Let’s enjoy the world of picture books! Here’s an idea for making Soramame-kun’s bed out of cotton.

You’ll need construction paper cut into the shape of a pod, cotton, glue or double-sided tape, and a Soramame-kun made from construction paper.

Miwa Nakaya’s “Soramame-kun no Beddo” is a beloved picture book for both children and adults.

How about making the bed that appears in the story? Spread out the fluffy cotton and stick it onto the paper.

It would also be fun to have the kids draw Soramame-kun’s facial expressions!

Strawberries made with torn-paper collage

[Something to make in spring] Tingly Stick-on Strawberry Torn-Paper Collage 🍓 #preschoolcraft #nurseryteacher #teachingideas #withkids #origami #origamicraft #tornpapercollage #strawberry #easycraft #shorts

Let’s create using our fingertips! Here are some ideas for making strawberries with torn-paper collage.

You’ll need red origami paper, patterned origami paper, a backing sheet, glue or double-sided tape, scissors, flower-shaped cut paper, and strawberry calyx-shaped cut paper.

Use your fingertips to boldly tear the origami! It’s fun that the sound changes depending on how fast you tear.

Even things that seem obvious to adults can deepen the activity when you enjoy children’s discoveries as you work together.

Paste the torn pieces onto the backing sheet, then have a caregiver or teacher cut the sheet into a strawberry shape with scissors to finish.

It’s also great if the children can glue on the strawberry calyx themselves.

[Finger Stamp] Ladybug

[Spring Craft] How to Make Ladybugs with Finger Stamps! [Ages 0 and up] (ASMR-style Video)

Here’s an idea for making ladybugs with finger stamps.

As a preparation step, have an adult cut out the ladybug parts in advance.

You can enjoy assembling the parts together with the children.

Once you have the paint ready, put some on your fingertip and stamp patterns onto the ladybug’s wings.

When the paint dries, it’s complete! Choose paint colors to match the ladybug’s wing color.

If the wings are red or yellow, use black; if the wings are black, red works well.

It would be cute to make some spring flowers too and decorate the ladybugs on top of them.

Sticky Felt Balloon

Here’s an idea for making balloons that makes the most of felt’s soft, fluffy texture.

First, cut light blue construction paper into the shape of a balloon.

Next, cut felt in three colors into triangles and squares.

Finally, use wood glue to attach the felt pieces onto the balloon, and add a yarn loop for a handle to finish.

It’s also cute to display the balloon as if an animal or character is holding it.

Adjust steps like cutting the paper and using scissors according to children’s ages and interests.

Besides felt, it’s also fun to try sticking on various materials like ribbons and beads.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Let’s make memories together! Here are some ideas for creating cherry blossoms with hand painting.

You’ll need poster paper, paint, a roller, and scissors.

Spring is the season of meetings and farewells, so how about making cherry blossoms with your whole class? Paint the cherry tree using a roller, and use the children’s handprints to represent the cherry blossom petals.

It would also be lovely to display the children’s photos next to the blossoms.
