3D maze

How to make Cardboard 3D Marble Maze. DIY cube labyrinth

Children who love 3D and spherical labyrinths often get absorbed in spinning the maze to guide the ball in numerical order or maneuvering it to avoid obstacles.

For elementary schoolers who enjoy 3D mazes, a cardboard 3D maze is highly recommended.

Draw a rough maze sketch on cardboard and assemble the parts.

If you create the design and maze on paper beforehand, the building process may go more smoothly.

Turning a favorite game or anime into a maze also sounds fun.

It’s a craft project that elementary school children can get completely absorbed in over summer vacation.

kitchen

[Comedy Sketch] I made a kitchen out of cardboard and tried doing a skit!

We’re going to make a “kitchen set” for pretend play.

First, seal all sides of the cardboard box with packing tape.

Cut out the top to match the size of a metal bowl.

Fit the bowl into the opening—this will be the sink.

Next to it, make a stovetop by covering a piece of cardboard with black paper.

Cut the side of the box to create a door.

For the handle, just layer and glue pieces of cardboard together.

Arrange plastic plates inside.

Attach a cardboard hook to the side of the sink and hang a ladle.

You might get more absorbed in making this kitchen set than in the pretend play itself!

Question Block

Make a Super Mario ? Block / Cardboard Craft / Mario’s Block Cardboard DIY

From adults to children, many people have played Mario games.

How about making the familiar Question Block that everyone has seen at least once? This Question Block doesn’t just look the part—it even has a mechanism that makes coins, mushrooms, and other items pop out from inside, so it should be a satisfying project to build.

You can create the popping mechanism using everyday materials like rubber bands and paper clips.

Younger children might find it difficult, so in that case, please have a parent or guardian help.

unicycle

[DRAGON BALL] I Tried Making Lunch’s One-Wheel Motorcycle Out of Cardboard! Lunch’s One-Wheel Motorcycle [Dragon Ball] Cardboard DIY

A one-wheel bike that even appears in anime.

With only a single tire and a unique design that looks like it might tip over but doesn’t, some of you may be thinking you’d like to try riding one.

In fact, there are overseas companies that have developed one-wheel bikes for people who want to give them a go.

At home, let’s try making one out of familiar cardboard.

Cardboard is fairly stiff, but it takes some ingenuity to make it rideable.

Laminate several sheets to create thickness and build a structure that can withstand weight.

Depending on the bike’s design, it may be challenging for elementary school children.

How about making it together with family members or an adult? Not only will playing with the finished bike be fun, but the process of making it will also become a memorable experience.

Ninja Weapons

[NARUTO] I Tried Making 5 Types of Ninja Weapons | Making 5 Ninja Weapons

Many children love the popular anime NARUTO.

So how about a science project where you make some of the weapons that appear in the series? Shuriken, kunai, and swords are relatively easy to make.

First, cut cardboard into the shape of the weapon you want.

Repeat this to make multiple layers, then glue them together at the end—done! The more layers you use, the stronger it will be.

It also sounds fun to customize the colors and shapes to create your own original weapon.

Be careful not to make the tips too sharp, as that can be dangerous.
