Make it with everyday materials! A collection of DIY toy ideas recommended for 1-year-olds

Mike

For kids who love to sing, a toy microphone is a great recommendation.

If you make it with felt, it won’t break if dropped and the risk of injury is low, so it’s a safe choice.

Create the handle and the microphone head with felt, and stuff the inside with fabric scraps or cotton.

Adding a ribbon or other accents would make it extra cute.

You can buy both felt and cotton at 100-yen shops, so try making it in your favorite colors.

Once it’s finished, sing using your microphone—you’ll enjoy a fresh, exciting feeling!

A trash bag… that bounces?! A stunning transformation with just two materials 😍#AtHomePlayIndoor playPlay ideasGarbage bag#Ball𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 Today: 2 materials — a jumbo ball. [What you’ll use] ・Trash bags (any size is OK) ・Vinyl tape (from DAISO) ※ Make sure to fill it well with air and tie the trash bag tightly! → If the air leaks, it won’t bounce 😭 ◾︎ Using the same steps, trash bags of various sizes, small plastic bags, and even balloons can become balls!! If you gently remove the vinyl tape from the trash bag, it comes off cleanly, so you can stick it back on. → After playing, if you carefully peel it off… you can use the trash bag and vinyl tape again! Save this so you don’t forget ❤️ 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 If you make a jumbo ball with a trash bag, once you put air in, it’s big and bouncy and fluffy!! 😍 See it with your eyes, touch it with your hands, listen with your ears!! It gives lots of sensory stimulation ❤️ It was also fun to watch the air slowly leak out while we played 🤭💕 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓈒꙳𓂃 Thank you for checking out Rano Mama among so many accounts!! 💓 When you’re not sure what to play, please use this as a reference 💛❤️💙

Let’s make a big ball and have fun! Here’s an idea for a garbage-bag ball.

It’s a DIY ball you can make with materials you have at home.

All you need are a trash bag and vinyl tape or duct tape.

After sealing the bottom of the trash bag with tape, blow air into it and tie the opening.

Wrap vinyl tape around the inflated bag, and you’re done! Its fluffy feel is addictive, and kids are sure to get excited! The soft material means it won’t hurt even if it hits you, which is a nice bonus.

Cute instruments can lift the mood! Here’s a panda tambourine idea to try.

You’ll need a paper plate, a straw, scissors, masking tape, panda parts cut from construction paper, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, cut the straw with scissors.

Next, fold the paper plate in half, put the cut straw pieces inside, and seal it.

Finally, attach the panda parts made from construction paper—and you’re done! It’s a charming, creative idea that will capture children’s interest.

Give it a try!
