[Cardboard] Girl’s Den-Den Daiko (Japanese pellet drum)

Easy to make! Handmade den-den daiko (Japanese pellet drum)

Recommended for girls! Here’s how to make a den-den daiko (hand drum) where the drum’s strings become pigtails.

Cut out a round piece from cardboard for the face and poke holes on the left and right with an awl or similar tool.

Thread yarn through the holes, tie knots so it won’t slip out, and tie another knot at the midpoint.

Next, thread on beads and tie them so they won’t come off.

Insert a bamboo skewer into the gap to make the handle, draw a girl’s face, and you’re done.

You can also use yarn for bangs or glue white construction paper onto the cardboard to add makeup and other decorations—it could be a lot of fun!

Easy cardboard target game

[Sticky Target] Easy target game with cardboard ❤︎Target Shooting Game#AtHomePlayHow to spend time while the park is closed

♬ I Wanna Be Your Ghost (feat. Ghosts) (Sabi Ver.) – Gen Hoshino

Here’s an easy target game craft you can make with just cardboard and tape! Prepare a cardboard box in your preferred size, then either cut off the flaps or fold them inward.

Cut several strips of tape and stick them across the opening of the box with the adhesive side facing up.

That’s your target done! Get some balls made of a material that will stick to the adhesive but peel off easily—such as soft color balls—and try throwing them at the target.

If you throw well, the balls will stick to the tape!

A rubber band gun made from cardboard is a simple craft that parents and kids can enjoy together! Use thick cardboard, cut out the body following a template, and make the trigger using chopsticks or a clothespin.

Set a rubber band and it can actually shoot.

It’s quite safe, and all the materials are easy to find.

It nurtures children’s creativity, and adults can get absorbed too, feeling like a kid again with this target-shooting craft.

Decorating it to create your own custom gun is also recommended! Be sure to use this as a reference and have fun getting creative!

Cardboard Frisbee

After cutting the cardboard into a circle, make a triangular notch in one spot.

Decorate the cardboard with stickers or drawings using a pen.

Hook a rubber band onto it and let go of the cardboard—it will fly.

You can make the target out of cardboard as well, or simply stack paper cups for an easy option.

The frisbee’s size is up to you, but if it’s too big or too small it can be hard to handle, so around 10 centimeters is recommended.

Roll up long, cut strips of cardboard to make rings, create five of them, and stick them onto a base piece of cardboard.

Write point values inside the rings to complete the target.

This toy launches a ball into the target rings, so make a launcher by stacking and gluing an ice cream stick and a plastic bottle cap onto a clothespin.

Clip the clothespin onto the base to secure the launcher, and use a ball made from crumpled aluminum foil.

Put the ball into the bottle cap, press the ice cream stick downward, and release—it will shoot out with force.

♫ Dear Boy — Hump Back

This is a cardboard craft project for a strikeout game that’s super popular at festivals! First, choose a piece of cardboard sized to fit the children.

Cut out a 3×3 grid, then decorate the cut-out pieces.

Finally, adjust the cut-outs so they fit nicely into the frame.

It’s easy to make, and since it’s cardboard, it’s also great for use as a shooting game target! Share ideas, get creative, and have fun together—kids and adults alike!

Let’s make darts!

[This feels good] Let’s make darts! [Cardboard craft]

Prepare several long strips of cardboard cut to a width of 3.5 cm.

Lightly spray one side with water to moisten it, then peel off the outer layer of paper.

Once the cardboard is dry, use glue and roll it up from one end into a spiral.

Keep adding strips and roll them all together.

That completes the target, so next we’ll make arrows using origami paper and toothpicks.

Use a toothpick as the arrow’s shaft, and glue origami paper to the back as the fletching.

Wrap tape around the tip of the toothpick as a weight, and it’s done.

Mount the target on a wall and try throwing the arrows to play.
