Make it using only origami! Here’s an idea for a triangular trinket box.

It’s perfect for kids who are good at crafting with origami or for anyone who wants to use the origami paper they have at home to make something.

How about creating a little container to hold small items or parts? All you need to prepare are three sheets of origami paper.

Solid-colored paper works fine, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami can change the vibe and make it more fun!

Long Boots Piggy Bank

Boot-shaped Piggy Bank! [Crafts | Easy How-To | Recycled]

Let’s make use of those memory-filled items! Here’s an idea for a rain boot piggy bank.

Many of us feel that children grow up so fast.

Clothes and shoes need to be replaced each time… throwing them away as they are is such a waste! This time, let’s repurpose outgrown rain boots and turn them into a piggy bank.

What you’ll need: outgrown rain boots, interlocking foam mats, scissors or a utility knife, adhesive, and so on.

It’s nice to be able to keep using your favorite rain boots as a piggy bank, isn’t it?

Let’s make dinosaur fossils

[Elementary School Craft] Let's Make a Fossil

Let’s make some exciting dinosaur fossils! First, think about what kind of fossil you want to create, then draw your fossil illustration on a sheet of foam board (styrene paper).

Cut out the fossil shapes with scissors.

Glue the cut foam pieces onto cardboard to form your design.

Paint it with acrylic paints.

When it’s finished, attach a decorative ribbon to the back so you can display it.

It’s also a good idea to round off the corners of the cardboard.

Have fun creating your very own original fossil!

Paper Cup UFO Catcher

How to make a UFO catcher with paper cups? Crafting tips from a nursery teacher (for 5-year-olds)

The “Paper Cup UFO Catcher” is a popular DIY recreation idea you can enjoy with elementary school kids.

Cut eight slits into a paper cup to make tentacle-like arms, then insert a straw through the center to move it.

Place another paper cup over the top and move it up and down—this opens and closes the arms.

The moment it grabs the target is super exciting! It’s easy to make with everyday materials, yet the movement feels authentic and makes it really fun to play.

Figuring out the controls is part of the charm, and it gets even more exciting when friends compete.

It’s a recommended activity that combines the joy of crafting with the sense of achievement from a game.

Paper Plate Balance Game

A fun parent-child craft game! Can you balance marbles evenly on a wobbly paper plate? #crafts #handmadetoys #easycrafts

Let me introduce a guaranteed crowd-pleasing, handmade recreation activity you can make and play with elementary school kids: the Paper Plate Balance Game.

Paint a paper plate in four colors—red, yellow, blue, and green—and attach capsule toy containers or paper cups underneath to create an unstable balancing base.

The rules use two kinds of dice: one regular number die and a special die with “colors” and faces like “x2” and “x3.” Players take turns placing small counters (like marbles or flat game pieces) according to the color and number rolled.

If you upset the balance and make pieces fall, you lose.

It’s easy to make, and a fun idea game that nurtures dexterity, concentration, and creativity.
