Handmade Anpanman toy ideas (21–30)
Original pouch made from a snack bag

Here’s an idea for making an original pouch using a snack bag.
You’ll need an empty snack bag, an A6-size hard card case, a craft knife, a ruler, fabric double-sided tape, scissors, a zipper, and a hair dryer.
First, cut off the top part of the hard card case with the craft knife.
Next, cut the snack bag so that the Anpanman illustration is included, and apply the fabric double-sided tape.
Finally, attach the zipper to the hard card case with the fabric double-sided tape, then apply heat with the hair dryer—and you’re done!
Anpanman drawstring pouch (sling bag)

Carry your precious things with you! Here’s an idea for an Anpanman drawstring pouch.
You’ll need fabric, colored cord, a pencil, felt, a needle, and thread.
This project doesn’t require a pattern, so it’s great for beginners at handcrafts! It’s adorable to see kids happily filling the pouch their guardian made for them with one treasure after another.
It could be fun to adapt it to the faces of Anpanman’s friends, too! Give it a try.

Dice made from felt fabric

Which character will it be? Let me share an idea for making dice out of felt.
What you’ll need: felt, a needle, thread, and scissors.
Since the dice are made of felt, they have a soft, gentle texture that’s really appealing.
The character faces are cute, and the colorful dice are sure to get kids excited! If you add number designs as an extra touch, children can also get familiar with numbers while playing—highly recommended! Give it a try!
Anpanman chair made from milk cartons

Let’s make it with your kids! Here are ideas for making an Anpanman chair using milk cartons.
You’ll need newspaper, colored packing tape, and 14 milk cartons.
It’s a handmade chair sized so children can sit comfortably.
You can use this chair anywhere in the house—like in the bathroom or a play kitchen corner—without worrying about the location! It’s also great because kids can carry it by themselves.
By changing the tape colors, you can make chairs of other characters too, so have fun customizing!
In conclusion
I introduced some ideas for handmade Anpanman toys. Was there any idea you wanted to try making? There were lots of wonderful toys using Anpanman designs, weren’t there? There are many other characters besides Anpanman, so please try making something with your child’s favorite character!
