Shaping with aluminum foil

Let's try arts and crafts at home: 'Shaping with aluminum foil'

Let’s make use of everyday materials! Here are some ideas for shaping with aluminum foil.

It’s great when you can do crafts using materials you already have at home, right? This time, let’s try a unique craft using aluminum foil, which is often used in the kitchen.

All you need is aluminum foil.

It’s a good idea to ask a parent or guardian for permission before you start.

It’s fun to see how the shape changes when you crumple or roll the foil with your hands! Be sure to try making all kinds of shapes.

Ice stick puzzle

Made with summer-specific materials! Here are some popsicle stick puzzle ideas.

When the weather is hot in summer, you crave cold ice cream, right? This time, let’s try making a puzzle using popsicle sticks.

You’ll need popsicle sticks, round stickers, stickers with your favorite motifs, and scissors or a craft knife.

Wash and dry the sticks, then apply the stickers and cut them! If you place a large sticker and then cut, you’ll end up with more puzzle pieces.

Give it a try!

Let’s make one with straws and a plastic bottle! I’ll show you an idea for a “pet-trombone.” Do you know the instrument called the trombone? This time, let’s try making a trombone-like instrument using a plastic bottle—the pet-trombone.

You’ll need items like straws, a plastic bottle, tape, scissors, and a clip.

Adjusting the angle and distance changes the sound and makes it really fun! Try practicing your favorite song and perform it for others—you might become popular!

Wouldn’t it be fun to play an instrument easily at home? This plastic-bottle drum is perfect for that.

You’ll need a plastic bottle, a balloon, a utility knife, scissors, a permanent marker, and tape.

If you make special drumsticks using disposable chopsticks and aluminum foil, you’ll be ready to play right away! You can also try creating a scale by changing the bottle size and the tension of the balloon.

Merry-go-round craft

Summer vacation craft project: “Merry-Go-Round” — independent research, scientific creative craft

Make use of motors and magnets! Here are some ideas for building a carousel craft.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants to apply what they learned in class to a hands-on project! When you flip the switch, the motor makes the carousel spin round and round, and thanks to the magnets, the white horse bobs up and down as if it’s hopping.

That alone is wonderful, but adding features like lights or a music box could create an even more magical atmosphere, don’t you think?
