Cherry blossoms made with lace paper

Recommended for infants! Here’s a cherry blossom craft idea using lace paper.

You’ll need lace paper, construction paper cut into a tree shape, paint, glue, construction paper, round masking tape stickers, and scissors.

First, color the lace paper with paint diluted with water.

Once it’s dry, attach the tree-shaped construction paper.

Next, cut slits into the round masking tape stickers to create cherry blossom petals and stick them on.

Finally, cut the backing paper along the silhouette, and you’re done!

Let’s decorate with springtime natural items!

Capture spring: Try preserving flowers and plants as a piece while they’re still beautiful! Note: They’ll last on display for about 2–3 weeks. If you want them to last longer, press the flowers first and then create your piece!work#LifeWithKids#NurseryTeacherDailyLifeCute#crafts#diyNursery teacher / Childcare workerTranslation

Let’s decorate with spring’s natural treasures! We’ll introduce a perfect spring craft you can make by collecting fallen flowers and weeds on a walk.

First, place a sheet of cooking parchment under a frame-shaped piece of construction paper, and apply OPP (clear) tape over the opening.

Peel the tape backing, flip it over so the sticky side is up, and arrange your collected flowers on it.

Seal with another layer of OPP tape, trim the excess, and you’re done! It will look nice for about 2–3 weeks; if you want it to last longer, press the flowers first and then make it.

Decorating the paper frame is cute, too—give it a try!

Dandelions made with stamps

Get a head start on spring ✨ Creative play with recycled materials 🎨 #shorts #childcare #paints

Simple yet wonderfully eye-catching! Let’s make dandelion flowers with a stamp! The method is very simple.

Prepare a toilet paper roll and make lots of cuts on one end.

Imagine dandelion petals and make many fine slits.

Fold the cut sections outward and your stamp is ready! Draw the dandelion stems and leaves on a sheet of construction paper as the base, then use the toilet paper roll to stamp the flowers on top.

The toilet paper roll stamp is large and easy to grip, so even infants can enjoy it.

You can create this using familiar recycled materials, so give it a try!

Koinobori made from tissues

Let’s make something using familiar materials! Here’s an idea for making koi-shaped streamers using tissue paper.

What you’ll need: construction paper cut into a koi shape, paint, brushes, tissue paper, and round stickers.

Tear the tissue paper and place it in a container.

Apply glue to the construction paper cut into the koi shape, then attach the torn pieces of tissue paper.

Instead of sticking them flat, the key is to attach them so they’re raised and three-dimensional.

Brush diluted paint onto the tissue paper, and you’re done! Try observing with the children how the paint gradually soaks in and spreads.

Sensory Bottle Made with Cherry Blossom Petals

Spring “sensory play”: a cherry blossom sensory bottle #cherryblossom #babytoys #sensoryplay #hanami #shorts #sensoryplay #educational #kids

When you think of spring, many of you probably picture cherry blossoms.

Cherry trees in full bloom are dazzling, but their petals fall quickly, giving them a fleeting, ephemeral charm.

This time, I’ll show you how to make a sensory bottle that lets you enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms for a longer period.

The method is very simple: put liquid laundry starch and cherry blossoms into an empty bottle, then secure the cap with glue, and you’re done.

Adding cotton balls or beads is also recommended.

As you watch the cherry blossoms gently drift and sway, take your time to relax and feel soothed.

Broad beans you make by sticking (pieces) on

Spring Craft: “Broad Beans” Easy How-To Explained by a Preschool Teacher (for 2–3-year-olds) #shorts

Broad beans, said to be in season from April to June, are perfect for spring crafts.

This time, we’ll introduce a craft that features these beans.

Pre-cut the pod and bean pieces from construction paper.

For children who are comfortable using scissors, it’s also a great idea to let them cut the pieces themselves.

Glue the pod and beans onto a base sheet of construction paper, draw faces on the beans, and you’re done.

The steps are very simple, so even young children can enjoy making it.

The bright green of the broad beans is sure to energize the kids even more.

[Stamping] Tulip

[Crafts] 3 Easy Art Projects You Can Make with Just a Fork [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Let’s try making tulips using fork stamping.

First, draw the tulip stems and leaves on white construction paper.

Prepare paints such as yellow, red, and blue, and apply paint to a fork.

Gently press the fork onto the paper to create the tulip flowers.

It’s also fun to mix the paints to make different tulip colors.

Since fork tines are sharp, be sure to prioritize safety by working in small groups and keeping close adult supervision.
