Easy Ice Bazooka
@picoton_craft A bazooka you can make with a balloon and a paper cup ✨✨ The “Takoyaki Bazooka” I made before was really popular, so I made an “ice cream version” 🍨 It’s a blast, so definitely give it a try 💕Life with children #HandmadeToysSimple craft #AtHomePlay
♬ summertime – cinnamons
Let’s make an Ice Bazooka that everyone can play with after making it! First, take a sheet of origami cut in half and draw your favorite ice cream on it.
Wrap it around a rolled piece of paper, grip it together, and secure it with tape.
That completes the bazooka ammo.
Next, cut out the bottom of a brown paper cup and draw a cone pattern on it.
Take a balloon with the tip of the part that inflates slightly trimmed, stretch it over the bottom of the paper cup, and tape it in place.
Finally, make a target using a paper cup and construction paper, and you’re done! Pull the balloon to launch your Ice Bazooka and aim for a high score!
Aroma Fragrance
If you’re looking for an easy, summery craft, I recommend making an aroma fragrance jar! Prepare a jar, gel ice packs, blue food coloring, essential oils, and decorations like marbles or seashells.
First, fill the jar about one-third full with the gel from the ice packs and add the food coloring to tint it.
Once the color is set, add more gel and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Finally, add the decorations and put the lid on—you’re done! Using blue food coloring with marbles or seashells makes it look like you’ve captured the sea inside the jar.
Try creating one with your favorite theme!
Cute seasonal decorations and keychains
@n.annlee321 This combo is so cute 🥹💕 Have fun styling it your way!#HandmadeToysParentingChildcareChildcaretranslation#Kindergarten
♬ Magnetic – ILLIT
Using shrink plastic, fluffy pipe cleaners, and clear stickers, you can make seasonal decorations and keychains.
Cut the shrink plastic into any shape you like, then use a single-hole punch to make holes around the edges for threading the fluffy pipe cleaners.
After threading the pipe cleaners, stick clear stickers onto the transparent area in the center.
You can add a chain to make it a keychain, or hang it with a string to turn it into a suncatcher.
Swapping out a seasonally themed keychain for each season is stylish and delightful, isn’t it?
The World of Masks
Why not make a free-form mask and transform into a different persona? It would be so much fun to express your emotions—fear, joy, and more—by turning them into a mask.
First, punch holes where the eyes go in a sheet of colored construction paper in your favorite color.
It’s also fine to have no holes at all, and to use any shapes you like.
Then freely cut out facial features, fangs, horns, and more from origami paper, and attach them with cellophane tape.
Finally, draw patterns with a felt-tip pen to finish.
It sounds really fun to express your transformed self with a mask, doesn’t it?
Handmade toy from an empty snack box
Make it with an empty snack box! Here’s how to create a pom‑pom shooting game! First, prepare an empty box that once held something like Choco Pie.
Reinforce the back by attaching a wooden stick so the lid can stay open.
Next, glue wooden sticks to the top and bottom of a wooden clip and wrap a rubber band around it.
Attach a plastic bottle cap to one end, and fix the other end to the back of the box.
Finally, stick a few small paper cups inside the box wherever you like, and you’re done.
Set a cotton ball in the bottle cap and launch it with a pop—have fun playing!
