[For 5-year-olds] Let’s enjoy summer! Summer craft ideas for 5-year-olds

Puni Puni Fruit

Looks just like the real thing! You can even peel the skin♪ I tried making a squishy fruit assortment [Oni Pita] DIY Fruits Squishy with Nano Tape 🍇🍉🍌🍓

They look just like the real thing! Here are some ideas for squishy, jiggly fruits.

Have you heard of nano tape? It’s a kind of tape with super strong adhesion that can be reused, and it’s apparently great for kitchens and DIY projects.

Let’s use this amazing nano tape to make squeezies.

In the video, bananas, watermelons, strawberries, and grapes are recreated to look glossy and bouncy, making you want to craft them with your kids.

Definitely give it a try!

Crispy Slime Pretzel

KOHAKUTO GUMMY SLIME DIY — Looks real!? I tried making slime like crispy Gummytzel.

Just like candy! Here are some ideas for crispy slime pretzels.

They’re super cute to look at, too! We’ll show you ideas for making crispy slime.

When you think of slime, many people probably imagine a soft texture that stretches out.

This time, let’s transform slime into a crispy form and have fun with it.

What you’ll need: molds, a melamine sponge, candle wax, parchment paper, and toothpicks.

Be sure to work together with a parent or teacher when making this.

The finished crispy slime looks just like candy, but please play with it without putting it in your mouth.

Goldfish scooping made with construction paper

[WakuWaku-san’s Craft Workshop] Make an easy “Goldfish Scooping” game and have fun playing it!

Let’s make it with simple steps! Here are some ideas for making a goldfish scooping game out of construction paper.

Wouldn’t it be fun to recreate the goldfish scooping you see at festivals and food stalls at your preschool or at home? This time, let’s try making a goldfish scooping game using construction paper and paper plates.

You’ll need long, thin strips of colored construction paper, paper plates, a stapler, scissors, cellophane tape, glue, and stickers.

Make the goldfish out of colored paper and the poi (scooping paddle) out of paper plates.

Even without water, putting them in something like a kiddie pool should create the right atmosphere.

cute watermelon

How about making a summery watermelon out of origami? You can use it for summer wall displays, Tanabata, festival decorations, and many other scenes.

It’s very easy to make! First, fold a red sheet of origami paper in half, cut a green sheet into a long thin strip, and glue the green strip along the bottom of the red paper to create the watermelon rind.

Next, accordion-fold the red paper and tape one side to hold it in place—that’s it! Use a black pen or stickers to add the seeds.

You can also thread string or ribbon through it to make a cute decoration.

Give it a try!

Easy cicada

@sachimama_asobi

So nostalgic! Let’s make an origami cicada! 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 My boys love bugs—how about you? ☺️ This season we go looking for rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles, catch cicadas, and then taking care of them keeps us busy. 😂 It’s so hot during the day that we can’t stay outside for long, so we made cicadas out of origami at home. 🥰 I used to make them a lot when I was a kid too. ✨ My boys were thrilled. ☺️ It’s easy, so definitely try it with your bug-loving kids! +–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––+ I’m Sachi-mama, raising three rambunctious boys ages 7, 5, and 1. ❀´- I share play ideas and simple crafts using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

♬ NIGHT DANCER – imase

Here’s how to make a cicada—the quintessential summer creature—that almost sounds like it might start chirping.

When folding the wings, tilt your folds slightly so they angle diagonally.

At the end, when bending the left and right sides, make diagonal folds while keeping a good balance between the cicada’s body and its wings.

Finish by drawing the face with round stickers and a felt-tip pen! Cicadas made with checkered origami paper are adorable, too.

It’s also fun to create a big tree on the wall and have the children stick on the cicadas they made.

Enjoy the activity while feeling the season!

corn

How about making corn—one of the summer vegetables that grows under plenty of summer sunshine—out of origami? For this, stack two sheets of origami paper, light green and yellow, with the white sides facing inward.

First, keep the papers stacked, fold them into a triangle, and open it.

Then fold both side corners and edges toward the center line.

Open both corners outward and fold them, then make small folds inward.

Flip it over and, imagining the shape of a corn cob, fold the top, bottom, left, and right corners.

Turn it over again, draw a face and the kernels, and you’re done! It’s an easy and cute craft, so give it a try!

Mr./Ms. Crab

@sachimama_asobi

Make a crab with just one sheet! Let’s try making a little crab! 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 We always say the ocean is far so we rarely go, but the other day we happened to be nearby, so we took a sudden drive to the beach! Our family usually plays in the mountains and rivers, but the kids had an amazing time at the sea and are already saying they want to go again 🥰 Yesterday they picked up seashells and spotted tiny fish, and they were totally absorbed chasing them!! Today’s craft is a little crab 🦀 You can make it with a single sheet of origami and it’s super easy, so definitely try it with your kids 🥰 +——————————————— I’m Sachi, a mom of three energetic boys ages 7, 5, and 1 ❀´- I share play ideas and simple crafts with kids using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

Let’s make a crab that lives in the sea or rivers.

Prepare origami paper, round stickers, and felt-tip pens.

Crease the origami paper, open it while puffing up the center to form the crab’s body, and fold the claws, pressing the folds as you go.

Finally, stick on the eyes and you’re done.

Using patterned origami paper lets you enjoy making different kinds of crabs.

Give your finished crab a name and have fun creating it!
