[Age 5] Exciting and fun! A special feature on ideas for at-home play

Handmade aluminum balloon

Let’s have fun with aluminum foil! Here are some ideas for making DIY aluminum balloons.

Aluminum foil is commonly used for cooking and storage, right? This time, let’s use the aluminum foil you have at home to make handmade aluminum balloons.

You’ll need aluminum foil, a pen, a round template, stickers, scissors, laminating sheets, tape, and a stick such as a disposable chopstick.

Draw on the aluminum foil, laminate it, then make a hole and blow air into it.

Insert the stick and secure it with tape, and you’re done!

Stacking paper cups

Mari-chan is furious! Paper cup stacking contest with friends! What’s Mari-chan’s time? HUGtto! Precure Three Siblings Mom Collaboration #37 Runrun Mama

Let me introduce a fun cup-stacking game where you build a pyramid.

Take 15 paper cups and stack them so they form a pyramid from the bottom up.

Time each attempt and compete to see who can complete the pyramid the fastest.

Because you have to think about the best way to stack them as you go, it’s a game that trains both concentration and problem-solving skills.

Since plastic cups are smooth and glossy, paper cups are recommended, especially for children.

Give it a try!

[Preschool Teacher] Easy Handmade Toy! How to Make a Spinning Bubble Wand [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Make and play! Here’s an idea for unbreakable, twirling soap bubbles.

First, cut the holographic origami paper into 5 mm strips and attach eight strips to a round sticker.

Cut four slits in the straw and apply a reinforcement ring sticker.

After adhering the straw and holographic paper together, thread them onto the bamboo skewer.

Tape the top in place, and you’re done!

Clapping game until you drop

Let's all compete together! [Applaud until you drop]

It’s a game you can enjoy casually in a compact space, with no special preparation or large area required.

The rules are simple: first, each person grabs a tissue.

Then, after raising your hand above your head, drop the tissue and compete to see how many times you can clap before it falls.

You’ll stretch your body to drop it from as high as possible and move quickly to pick it up, so it becomes a full-body exercise.

The lively clapping sounds fill the room, and it’s great to see everyone smiling and having fun!

Here’s a Hiragana-collecting challenge that’s fun whether you play alone or with friends.

Spread out cards with single hiragana characters on the floor.

Give a prompt, then collect the hiragana cards that fit the prompt to form words.

Get a stopwatch and time how many minutes it takes to complete the word.

Start with just one prompt at first, and gradually increase the number of prompt words for more fun.

It’s also a great game for building concentration and thinking skills, so give it a try!
