A wall display of cherry blossoms that sway in paper cups
The key points are the calm atmosphere and the beautiful cherry blossom petals! Here’s an idea for a wall decoration with cherry blossoms that sway using paper cups.
Cherry blossoms are the symbol of spring, right? They also represent beauty and fleetingness, and this craft idea perfectly fits that image.
Try making it together with children.
You’ll need origami paper, tissue paper, thick paper, paper cups, chiyogami (patterned paper), paper tape, and so on.
Making lots of cherry blossoms will create a gorgeous finish, so it’s great if everyone can work together! Take this opportunity to give it a try.
A rabbit basket made from paper plates
The rabbit mark is so cute! Here’s an idea for making a rabbit basket out of paper plates.
It’s a charming project you can easily try with materials you already have at home or in the classroom.
You’ll need crayons, paint, brushes, masking tape, glue, scissors, construction paper, and paper plates.
Use crayons and paint to enjoy a resist painting technique on cut paper plates! Choosing your favorite colors is exciting for both kids and adults.
Be sure to try your own free combinations of colors.
Pill Bug Made with Paper Plates
The pill bug is one of the insects that kids love.
Its habit of curling up into a little ball when touched is one of the charms that fascinates them.
Let’s make a pill bug out of a paper plate.
First, draw patterns on the paper plate with crayons, then paint over it with black paint.
Enjoy how the crayon resists the paint.
Next, cut the paper plate into six equal parts, stack all the small triangles together, punch a hole at the tip, and insert a split pin (paper fastener).
Finally, add a face and legs, and you’re done.
It even reproduces the pill bug’s distinctive movements, so kids are sure to be captivated.
Give it a try!
No-sew felt cherry blossoms
When a room is decorated with pink cherry blossoms, it feels so festive and exciting, doesn’t it? Here’s an idea for making cherry blossoms out of felt—and you can do it without any sewing! Prepare a piece of pink felt measuring 4 cm by 20 cm.
Mark it at 4 cm intervals along the length to make four sections, then make vertical cuts at each mark, cutting about two-thirds of the way down.
Round the edges of the five frilly sections into gentle arches, then fold each arch in half and cut it diagonally to form petal shapes.
Apply glue to the base of the petal on the side without slits, and glue the ends together as well to finish.
You can customize it however you like, so try adapting the basic shape to create all kinds of variations!
Artworks created using natural materials
April has just the right climate and is the perfect season for walks and playing in the playground.
Here’s an activity for creating artworks using natural materials like leaves and branches found outdoors.
Prepare a container to collect fallen leaves and other items.
If children decorate their own container with stickers or markers, they’ll feel more attached to it and enjoy the activity even more.
Use cotton swabs to apply glue to the collected leaves and flowers, then stick them onto construction paper.
When placing the items, it’s important to value the child’s sensibilities and let them lead the process.
Once finished, display the pieces and enjoy the artwork!
Butterfly mobile in a field of rapeseed blossoms
This is a mobile featuring a canola flower field and fluttering butterflies with a sweet, delicate look.
Cut around the middle of a plastic bottle and cover the cut edge with tape.
Attach a ribbon so it can be hung, then decorate it with origami cut into canola flower shapes.
Cut butterfly shapes from origami, attach separately made face and body parts, and fix a thread to the back.
Finally, stick the threads to the plastic bottle to complete a gently swaying, spring-themed mobile.
It would also be adorable to use the children’s face photos for the butterflies’ faces.

Broad beans you make by sticking (pieces) on
Broad beans, which are said to be in season from April to June, are perfect for spring crafts.
This time, we’ll introduce a project that uses these broad beans.
Prepare by pre-cutting the pod and bean shapes out of construction paper.
If the children are old enough and comfortable using scissors, it’s also great 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 younger children can enjoy making this.
The vivid green of the broad beans is sure to energize the kids even more.
