Plastic bottle wind chime

Recommended crafts for girls ✨ Plastic-bottle wind chimes and jelly domes – binge-worthy at-home play! Crafts and educational activities for kids ★ Wakuwaku Parfait ★

Here’s an idea for an easy wind chime you can make with a plastic bottle.

Cut the bottle in half across the middle and make a hole in the center of the bottom piece.

Thread a string through the hole, attaching a strip of paper (tanzaku) and a bell to it.

Decorate the bottle, and you’re done.

Pens, nail polish, and decorative parts work well for embellishment.

To keep the string from slipping out, tie a short piece of a toothpick along the string as a stopper.

By taking advantage of the bottle’s translucence, you’ll get a cool, refreshing look.

If you’re looking for a summery craft idea, give this a try.

Cute glasses with moles

[Craft] Super Easy and Cute Pipe Cleaner Glasses! Finished in 5 Minutes! How to Make Them [Straw]

Let’s make cute glasses using pipe cleaners and straws.

First, think about the shape of the glasses you want to make—try sketching it out.

Round, square, star-shaped—anything you like is fine.

Once you’ve decided on the shape, form it with the pipe cleaners.

A single pipe cleaner isn’t very sturdy, so twist two together into one before shaping.

After the frame is done, thread straws onto the parts that go over your ears, and you’re finished.

If you use the accordion section of the straw over your ears, the glasses are less likely to slip off.

Paper cup Tyrannosaurus

[Summer Vacation Craft] Using Only Paper Cups! Easier T. rex (Tyrannosaurus) Project [Independent Study] Make It in One Day! Upcycled Craft [A Must-See for Moms and Dads]

This activity involves combining paper cups to create a three-dimensional, dynamic Tyrannosaurus.

The key is how you connect the cups: by trimming the edges and adding slits, you can set firm angles.

Build it by linking the cups from the head to the tail, then attach separately made legs and arms at the end to finish.

Try different variations, such as using cups of the same color for a cohesive look or mixing different colors for a colorful effect.

Making a marble run with an ice box

[Elementary School Summer Craft/Independent Study] We tried making a marble run using an ice cream box 🌻#Summer VacationSummer Vacation Independent ResearchSummer Vacation Craftworktranslation#HandmadeToysIndependent ResearchScrap Material CraftingSimple craft#craft

Summer is the season that makes you crave ice cream, and as you eat it, you might find the boxes piling up.

This idea uses those leftover ice cream boxes to make a marble run.

Use a large box, like a milk carton, as the base, and attach slopes made by cutting the ice cream boxes around it.

Adjust the angles and heights carefully, keeping in mind the strength needed so it won’t break when the marbles hit.

Using ice cream sticks to reinforce it is also recommended—they’ll make the whole thing sturdier and give it a cohesive look.

Roll-and-drop game made with straws

Here’s a fun-to-make, fun-to-play marble run you can build with straws.

Gather tapioca (boba) straws, beads, masking tape, and scissors, and let’s get started.

Cut the tip of a tapioca straw at an angle, then tape it to a wall with masking tape, adjusting the angle as you go.

Add guards at the ends of the straws so the rolling beads don’t fall out.

The key is to tweak the angles so the beads roll smoothly.

Once it’s finished, try rolling some beads and play! It could also be fun to turn this into a little science project—prepare beads of different sizes and time how many seconds each one takes to roll through.
