Toys you can make from cardboard crafts! Authentic ideas you can build and play with

Strikeout

No.155 'Strikeout' [Handmade Toy by a Nursery Teacher]

How about making a strikeout game using supplies from a 100-yen shop? Even small children can enjoy it.

Prepare nine 9×9 cm pieces of cardboard.

Cut a 7 cm radius circle out of each one.

Sand them down until they’re just thin enough to fall when hit by a ball.

Next, cut construction paper to the size of the panels.

Glue the construction paper and cardboard together, then cut pool noodles to make the frame.

Use a milk carton to make the base, and assemble everything at the end to complete it.

Have fun decorating the front and back with your favorite illustrations! It’s a great hit at events, too.

Doctor Yellow

[Easy Craft] No ruler needed! Make a cardboard Doctor Yellow! Ride anytime! Easy craft #fun #cardboardcraft #cardboard #easycraft #shorts #DoctorYellow

This project is about making Doctor Yellow—the Shinkansen inspection train, also known as the “doctor” of the bullet trains—out of cardboard.

Since the Shinkansen is characterized by the unique curve of its nose, we’ll bend the cardboard to recreate that shape.

Then, attach another piece of cardboard shaped like an open-top box to the front to complete the form.

Decorate the whole thing in yellow to finish it as Doctor Yellow.

Because the top is open and you can get inside, it’s a craft that really lets you enjoy the experience.

pull-back car

[Summer Vacation Project] Rubber Band Pull-Back Car [Craft]

Let’s make a pull-back car out of cardboard—the kind that shoots forward when you pull it back and release it.

The wheels are connected by rubber bands, which wind up when pulled back and, when released, generate the force that propels the car forward.

First, connect plastic bottle caps with a rod, attach rubber bands to create the wheel components, and build the underside of the car where these parts will be installed.

Once the mechanism is complete, attach the top, decorative body so the mechanism is hidden, and you’re done.

A key tip is to keep the whole build light so the movement is easy to see.

racing game

[ Slip on Banana ] DIY Car Racing Game with Cardboard. How to make Mario Kart. Tutorial.

This is a fun craft with a unique motion, where a race unfolds inside a window as if it were playing on a screen.

Turn the side handle to rotate the cylinder, and the paper stretched around it moves like a conveyor belt, making the course appear to move.

You then attach your character to the course with a magnet, and use the handle underneath to move it so the magnet stays aligned, steering to avoid obstacles.

By customizing what you draw on the course and what you use as obstacles, you can make it look even more fun.

Marble run made from cardboard

Cardboard Craft: Marble Run — Childcare Tips Useful for Practicum and Training

Let’s try making a cool marble run using cardboard.

Prepare a rectangular piece of cardboard that isn’t too thick, and cut off one section on the large face and one section on the narrowest side.

Then, using the pieces you removed and other bits of cardboard, build the pathways for the marble to roll along and attach them to the base cardboard.

Instead of connecting every path all the way through, it’s also fun to leave gaps here and there so the marble drops down to the next level and continues.

Be sure to set up the goal area so the marble stops securely and doesn’t roll out after reaching the finish.
