big cracker

[Elementary School Craft] Giant Party Popper 🎉 Playable Megaphone

Here’s how to make a fun megaphone cracker.

First, cut off both edges of a clear file folder to separate it into two sheets.

Fold one of the sheets in half lengthwise and cut along the fold.

Next, roll one of the cut pieces into a tube, then tape this tube to the center of the larger remaining sheet.

Roll the sheet into a megaphone shape and secure it.

Then roll the other remaining piece into a long, thin tube, thread it through the center of the megaphone, and tape one end so it connects with a rubber band-like loop.

Prepare three pieces of plastic string cut to an appropriate length, attach aluminum foil to their tips, and crumple the foil into little balls.

Finally, tape the strings with the foil tips to the end of the inner tube that runs through the center.

And you’re done! A flashy, eye-catching megaphone cracker—give it a try!

Infinity Cube made from a milk carton

[Summer Vacation Crafts / Independent Research] Infinite Cube with a Milk Carton #SummerVacationCrafts #IndependentResearch #EasyCrafts #DIY #Craft #KidsActivitiesAtHome #ElementarySchool

The endlessly flippable infinity cube is so much fun, isn’t it? Let’s make one using milk cartons.

First, wash and dry the cartons, then prepare two cartons with the top and bottom cut off.

Cut each one into eight vertical strips to make 16 long, narrow pieces.

Next, use two pieces to make one cube.

There’s a trick to how the cubes are connected, so be careful not to connect them the wrong way.

Once you’ve connected them correctly, stick origami paper on top, and you’re done.

Let’s make it in 3D! The human body

[Elementary School Craft] Let's Make It in 3D! The Human Body!

Why not try making a three-dimensional human figure? Some people may not have given much thought to the body’s balance and structure.

For this 3D human figure, first make sketches: draw the human body from various angles in a sketchbook.

Based on those drawings, create an armature with wire.

Once it’s done, fix the armature to a base and build up the form with paper clay.

Next, paint it with acrylics.

It’s best to hold the base and paint from various angles.

Be sure to separate and paint the finer details carefully.

Let’s make it out of paper

[Elementary School Craft] Let's Make It with Paper

If you want to enjoy art casually, we recommend this crumple-paper art.

As you crumple and tear paper, you imagine what to make and build your piece.

By enjoying the feel of the paper and using your hands a lot, you naturally nurture fine motor skills, concentration, and imagination.

Moments like “It turned into this shape!” and “Let’s try this next!” spark discoveries that reveal the fun of creating.

You can freely express your individuality and easily create one-of-a-kind, captivating works—so give it a try!

Snow globe made from an empty bottle

[Craft with Empty Bottles] Let’s Make a Snow Globe!! #ElementarySchool #DollarStoreCrafts #shorts

Many people have probably received or bought snow globes as souvenirs or gifts.

Why not try making one with an empty jar? It’s easier than you think, and the result is beautiful and soothing.

All you need is an empty jar, a melamine sponge, liquid laundry starch (or thick laundry glue), small figurines or similar parts, and some glitter.

You can get them cheaply at a 100-yen shop.

First, attach the melamine sponge to the inside of the jar lid, then glue the figurines or other parts onto the sponge.

Put glitter into the jar itself, add laundry starch and water, mix, and screw on the lid—that’s it!

bento crafting

@n.annlee321♬ Nerd Strut (Instrumental) – Gen Hoshino

Bento craft that looks just like the real thing through clever use of color and shape is an art form that lets you enjoy the fun of making food.

Layer tissue over yellow crepe paper, offset them, cut into quarters, and fluff it up to get a texture like rolled omelet.

Roll up red crepe paper and add a green calyx, and it turns out just like a cherry tomato.

Wrap tissue in white crepe paper, shape it into a triangle, then wrap with black origami paper, and you’ve got a proper onigiri.

Even though every component is made only of paper, the thoughtful colors and shapes make it look delicious.

By planning the placement of side dishes and the overall arrangement, it becomes a work that greatly boosts creativity and powers of observation.
