A simple yet amazing craft you can make with straws! An idea that will have you completely absorbed

A whistle you can blow with a straw

[Instrument Craft] Let's Make a Straw Flute You Can Play Tunes With (Handmade Toy / Upcycled Craft) [Easy Craft / Playable Craft] A Handmade Instrument You Can Make Music With

Here’s how to make a whistle out of a straw.

Cut two slits at one end of a straw and trim it so the width forms a rectangle.

Cut the other end of the straw and fit it over the rectangular end, then secure it with cellophane tape.

Adjust the tape so the width becomes a square.

Cut another straw to about 5 centimeters and flatten one end.

Place the flattened end over the side where you can see the square gap, and secure it with cellophane tape.

The key is to test-blow it and check the sound before taping everything down firmly.

Change the lengths of the straws to create different pitches, fix them in place, and you’re done.

Kids are sure to get excited about a whistle made from everyday materials!

Make a bow and arrow with straws!

Make a Bow and Arrow from Straws! Recycled Craft! (For 1st–2nd Grade Elementary Students, About 20 Minutes) #craft #handmade_toy

A piece you worked hard to make yourself becomes twice as fun if you can play with it afterward, right? So this time, we’re introducing a bow and arrow you can make with straws.

You can use either thick boba straws or regular straws.

Besides the straws, you’ll just need common household items like a toilet paper roll and rubber bands, so it’s easy to prepare.

The projectile that the bow shoots is made from the toilet paper roll and rubber bands.

Make the bow using a straw and a spherical Styrofoam ball.

Once it’s finished, just aim and shoot at targets made from paper plates or balloons.

Kids will enjoy crafting it with the excitement of being able to play with it after it’s done.

Roll-and-drop game made with straws

♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome

Here’s a fun-to-make, fun-to-play marble run you can build with straws.

Gather tapioca (boba) straws, beads, masking tape, and scissors, and let’s get started.

Cut the tip of a tapioca straw at an angle, then tape it to a wall with masking tape, adjusting the angle as you go.

Add guards at the ends of the straws so the rolling beads don’t fall out.

The key is to tweak the angles so the beads roll smoothly.

Once it’s finished, try rolling some beads and play! It could also be fun to turn this into a little science project—prepare beads of different sizes and time how many seconds each one takes to roll through.

Let’s make a flute

One-Day Science Project 6: Let's Make a Whistle

As a one-day science project, here’s a fun idea for making a simple flute.

Since this involves using fire, be sure to work with an adult.

Prepare three thick straws and flatten one end of each.

Use a lighter to gently heat the flattened end, then pinch the melted section with a clip to seal it.

After making all three the same way, blow into them—you’ll hear a flute-like sound.

The pitch changes with the length of the straws, so adjust them to create the scale you like.

straw dragonfly

Bamboo-copter made from a milk carton — flies well, easy, with a straw — handmade toy ❤︎ DIY / handmade toy / paper copter / TAKETONBO ❤︎ #657

This is a handmade bamboo-copter (taketombo) made from a milk carton.

Cut the milk carton into strips and draw patterns on them with a pen.

Adding bright colors makes it look beautiful when it spins! Next, make a slit in a straw that will be the handle, and insert a milk carton piece folded in half.

Staple the inserted part securely, then fold the milk carton diagonally and spread the two sides to finish.

To make it spin well, put some tape on the tips of the milk carton to add a little weight—this is the key! Since it’s made from a soft milk carton, it’s safe to play with indoors.

[Easy Craft 016] Straw Helicopter — Blow through the straw to launch! Straw Helicopter

Here is a toy that uses the mechanics of a straw tube: you blow into it to make a helicopter fly upward.

It’s easy to try, and it can be a gateway to learning the physics behind how blowing air makes things move.

Watching it zip off like a bamboo-copter is pretty fun, isn’t it?

Rocket

[Easy Craft 039] Straw Missile – It Easily Flies Up to the Second Floor

This is a palm-sized “rocket” you can easily make with a straw.

Despite its simplicity, it’s quite fast and really fun to launch and play with.

Make a base out of cardboard, use a bamboo skewer as the axle, and launch the straw with the spring from a clothespin.

It’s an easy craft that kids can try without worry, and it’s great that you can take it outside and play with it!
