For demon-slaying only! Bean-throwing rubber band gun

[Kids Craft] Oni-Busting Special! Bean-Throwing Rubber Band Gun! (Chopsticks & Rubber Bands) [Playable Craft] Setsubun—Demons Out!

Oni-busting only! Here’s how to make a bean-throwing rubber band popper.

Prepare chopsticks, roasted soybeans (fukumame), construction paper, tape, scissors, and rubber bands.

Roll the construction paper into a tube, then secure the tube with rubber bands by clamping it between a pair of chopsticks folded in half.

The key is to wrap the rubber bands tightly so they don’t loosen.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the ends of the chopsticks.

When launching, dent the tip of the paper tube, hook on a rubber band, set it, and play.

When playing, don’t aim at people and make sure to play safely.

How to make a croaking frog

[Preschool Teacher] Make and Play Right Away! How to Make a Croaking Frog ✨ [Daycare & Kindergarten]

This is a cute craft where a frog hidden inside a paper cup peeks out while croaking.

You make a hole in the bottom of the cup and insert a bendy straw; by using this straw, you can move the frog up and down.

The key is the bendable part of the straw—when it rubs against the hole in the paper cup, it makes a sound like a frog’s croak.

You can add originality by choosing the frog’s expression and decorating the paper cup however you like.

Disposable chopstick holder

Simple! A chopstick storage box: just keep stacking disposable chopsticks. Great for a summer vacation craft!

Here’s a chopstick accessory holder that’s perfect for a summer vacation craft.

Prepare 12 pairs of disposable chopsticks, glue, and colored construction paper.

Split the chopsticks in half, then use scissors to cut all the way around the midpoint to make them half-length pieces.

With 12 pairs, you’ll get 48 sticks.

Cut the colored paper into a square, apply glue to the left and right sides, and attach chopsticks; then flip it over, rotate it, and glue chopsticks onto the sides that don’t have them yet.

Apply glue where the chopsticks overlap and stack the sticks one by one.

Make sure they stack up straight.
