Crane catcher

Kids’ favorite claw machine fun in the bathtub! Introducing the “Crane Catcher.” First, prepare two tall, clear plastic cups.

Cut eight slits into one of them.

Here’s how to make a toy with a kitty that pops out from a small, colorful box.

Both the base holding the kitty and the popping kitty itself are made of origami.

Using things you already have at home, you can create a toy full of clever ideas.

After folding the outer box from origami paper following the steps, move on to the kitty.

Cut a sheet of origami paper slightly smaller than the outer box, then fold it according to the steps to make the kitty.

You’ll also use the leftover cut pieces to make the ears and paws, so nothing goes to waste.

Draw a cute face, too.

Finally, make a spring out of origami paper so the kitty pops up, install it inside the box, and you’re done.

Blow and make it fly! Here’s an idea for a straw rocket.

You’ll need a straw, two sheets of origami paper, scissors, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, wrap one sheet of origami paper around the straw to make a tube.

Attach a cone made from origami paper to the front of the tube, then attach wings to both sides of the tube, and you’re done.

Insert the tube onto the straw and blow—whoosh!—it’s fun to watch it ride the air and fly.

Give it a try!

A train that transforms

[Handmade Toy] A train toy that transforms using a milk carton 🚃💨

Let me introduce a train that transforms from a Shinkansen.

Prepare two milk cartons, scissors, construction paper, and a felt-tip pen, and let’s get making.

Lay a milk carton on its side and use the felt-tip pen to draw the outline of a Shinkansen, making sure the left and right sides are symmetrical.

Cut along the pen lines with scissors, then fold the tip of the roof section inward to form the shape.

Open up the second milk carton, shape it, and connect it to the back to couple them together.

The coupling is a key point, so be careful to fasten it securely so it doesn’t come apart.

By closing the milk carton to wrap around the front, or opening and closing it, you can change the train’s shape and have fun transforming it.

Decorating with construction paper and more is also recommended!
