Dinosaur Snow Globe

I’m going to introduce a second grader’s summer vacation craft! A dinosaur snow globe. Koki TV

Many children love dinosaurs, don’t they? Some probably have lots of dinosaur merchandise, too.

So let’s make a summer vacation project using dinosaurs: a snow globe in a glass container filled with liquid laundry starch (or school glue) and purified water.

Use a hot glue gun to attach a dinosaur figurine to the inside of the glass lid.

Be careful when using the glue gun, as it gets very hot.

Pour the laundry starch (or glue) and purified water into the container, then tint it with paint in your favorite color.

If you add glitter, you’ll get a sparkly, authentic-looking snow globe.

Close the lid and turn it upside down, and you’ll have a beautiful snow globe with a dinosaur inside.

Insect interior

This seals the deal for your summer vacation craft project! We’re sharing how to make a simple “Insect Interior” decor piece!

This is an idea for turning insect specimens into stylish interior decor.

When you think of specimens, you might picture them in a box, but what we’re introducing here uses a jar.

You’ll need a jar with a cork lid, an acrylic sheet, and an insect specimen.

The process is simple: first, cut the acrylic sheet to a size that fits inside the jar.

Next, make a slit in the cork lid, insert the cut acrylic sheet, and secure it with adhesive.

Finally, attach the insect specimen to the acrylic sheet and close the lid to finish.

Using a clear acrylic sheet makes it look as if the insect is floating inside the jar, creating a very chic look.

Sea memo stand

Summer vacation craft! Make an ocean-themed memo stand with your child ♪ Easy, hassle-free resin ♪ Let’s pack in your memories, too!

Some families may go swimming at the beach during summer vacation, right? When we think of the hot summer, many children surely picture the sea.

So why not make a memo stand using resin with an ocean theme? Prepare parts to embed in the resin, such as seashells, sea creatures, and clear or blue stones.

Of course, it’s also nice to include shells you picked up at the beach.

Place your favorite parts and the memo stand into a container, then pour in the resin.

After that, leave it undisturbed for the specified time.

At this stage, the key is to prevent dust and debris from getting in—for example, by placing the piece in a box.

If you include seashells you collected at the beach, you can create a lovely piece that captures your summer memories.
