Feel the spring breeze! Here’s how to make a figure-eight pinwheel that’s perfect for preschool activities.

You will need: paper plates, double-sided tape, wood glue, bamboo skewers, beads, and decorations.

Cut out the centers of two paper plates.

Punch four holes, then combine the plates into a figure-eight shape using double-sided tape.

[Origami] How to fold a “Bamboo Shoot” <Yoshimoto Comedian>

In season in spring! Here’s an idea for making bamboo shoots with origami.

All you need is brown origami paper.

Speaking of bamboo shoots, their defining feature is how quickly they grow.

They’re also rich in dietary fiber and nutrients, and their unique texture and aroma are part of their charm.

Let’s try making this seasonal ingredient with origami.

When using this idea to create a bamboo shoot, the key is to make crisp creases and be mindful of the paper’s width.

The step where you fold in the layered paper requires finger strength, so it’s a good activity to do together with a parent or teacher.

Dandelions transform into adorable instruments! Here’s an idea for making a dandelion den-den daiko (hand drum) with paper plates.

You’ll need two paper plates with a rim, a wooden chopstick, green masking tape, ribbon, and beads.

Wrap the chopstick all the way around with green masking tape so it’s safe to use.

Draw dandelions on the outside of the two paper plates, then treat the chopstick wrapped in green tape as the stem and attach it to the inside.

Next, attach ribbons to the left and right sides, and tie beads to the ends of the ribbons on the outside.

Stack and fasten the two paper plates together, and you’re done.

When you spin it, the beads hit the plates and make a sound!

Dandelion fluff made from raffia tape (Suzuran tape)

It looks like the fluffy seeds could float away! Here’s an idea for making dandelion fluff with raffia tape.

You’ll need white raffia tape, scissors, and vinyl tape.

After wrapping the raffia tape, bundle it together, split it finely with your fingertips, and secure it with vinyl tape—this simple method is the charm of the idea.

The more finely you split the tape, the fluffier it turns out, which is really fun! Be sure to try it for a spring craft project.
