Make a little snake and go for a spring walk

[Ages 1–2] Let’s go for a walk with the Wiggly Snake!

Here’s a craft to make spring walks even more fun: a wiggly snake! Prepare construction paper, twine, scissors, crayons, glue, and stickers.

Draw on the construction paper with crayons, then add stickers or pieces of cut origami paper.

Using scissors, cut the paper into a spiral snake shape.

If you draw guide marks where you’ll cut, it will be easier.

Attach the twine to the head, and you’re done.

Take your freely wiggling snake for a walk—up, down, left, and right—and have fun!

Let’s make something with familiar materials! I’ll show you an idea for a movable dandelion doll.

You’ll need a straw, two yellow food cups, a craft paper cup, decorative materials like stickers, craft glue, felt, and round stickers or construction paper.

First, punch a hole in a food cup and insert a straw with slits cut into its tip.

Draw a face on a round sticker or a piece of construction paper and stick it in the center of the flower.

Decorate the craft paper cup, make a hole, and insert the straw—then it’s done.

Adding felt leaves makes it even cuter.

Simple and cute! How to make a fabric garland! Fabric garland

Reusable and delightful! Here’s an idea for making a fabric garland.

You’ll need a 30 cm-long piece of fabric, yarn or jute twine, and scissors.

You can use leftover fabric from home or school, too! First, cut the fabric into long strips about 2 cm wide.

Next, take three of the cut strips and tie them onto the yarn or jute twine.

Finally, trim the length and snip off any loose threads, and you’re done.

This is a great idea when you want to make a cute garland with a natural vibe!

Sakura mobile made of origami

Hanging Sakura Decorations 🌸 Easy to make with origami ✨ Paper Craft DIY Cherry Blossoms

Here’s an introduction to making a hanging cherry blossom ornament with origami.

You fold it the same way as when making an origami star to create a five-petaled cherry blossom.

Make four blossoms with the same pattern, stack them, and glue them together at the center.

When you gently open it up, the cherry blossom becomes three-dimensional and looks adorable from every angle! The key is to make four identical pieces, so when you cut patterns into the petals, create a template and use it to make four matching petals.

Decorating with clear fishing line or spring-colored yarn will brighten up your room.

Spring snack making

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Spring Craft / Easy / How to Make a Strawberry Cake ♡

Here’s a spring snack-making craft activity.

Prepare construction paper, paint, tissue paper, pastel crayons, and paper cups to make a delicious-looking strawberry cake.

Paint the paper cup to use it as the cake base.

Tear, crumple, and glue the tissue paper to look like cream.

Add strawberries made from construction paper to finish! Gluing the tissue paper with some volume gives it a three-dimensional look, making it resemble a real cake.

Cutting and gluing can also be good practice for using glue and scissors!
