Sunflowers to make with kids

Summer craft: Making sunflowers with kids 🌻Summer Vacation CraftTranslationMontessori Educationbasting (stitch); tackingworkSummer vacation#AtHomePlay

♬ Don!! – Ryokuoushoku Shakai

This is a sunflower craft whose finely layered petals evoke the fun of summer.

First, make the center part out of cardboard or thick paper, then attach the petals to it.

Punch holes in the round center piece and thread string through them to faithfully recreate the look of a sunflower’s center.

After that, just glue the petals around the edge and you’re done—the key is how you choose the petal colors and how you layer them.

For a more realistic look, it’s also recommended to curl the petals to add a three-dimensional effect.

Handmade Happy Noodles

@n.annlee321

A pretty surprising way to make noodles 🤣 The packaging turned out so cute 🥹💓#DesignedWithCanva#CanvaPartner

♬ Electro Swing with retro cool brass & piano(1088312) – Ponetto

Looks just like the real thing! Let’s handcraft some happy noodles.

Flatten a cotton ball made from yellow embroidery thread to form a lump of noodles.

Also, wrap another embroidery thread around chopsticks and soak it in water mixed with liquid starch.

Once it dries and you remove it, it will turn into curly noodles, so make some of those too.

Use a small paper cup as the container and attach a package label you designed with a design app.

Put in the noodles and a packet of toppings, then stick on the lid to finish! You might even be able to use it as a keychain if you add some parts.

Cute goldfish scooping

[Summer Vacation Craft] Goldfish Scooping ♪ <Cardboard> [Cute Festival Craft] Independent Research • Cardboard Craft • Playable Craft • Pretend Play

When you think of summer, you think of festivals—and goldfish scooping, right? Let’s make a cute, handmade goldfish scooping game and have some fun! Prepare a cardboard box as the base and cut several slits into the sides.

Thread a thick blue string across the slits to represent water and create an aquarium.

Next, cut a paper cup to make a ring from the rim.

Attach a popsicle stick as the handle, and glue tissue paper to the inside of the ring to complete the poi (scooper).

Finally, tie individually wrapped candies with rubber bands, add eyes to make goldfish, and you’re done.

Arrange the goldfish in the aquarium and try scooping them up with the poi!

Sparkling hourglass

[Easy Craft 🍉] How to Make a Sparkling Hourglass ❣️

Let’s make a cute, sparkly hourglass that doubles as interior decor.

Prepare two small bottles, glitter to use as sand, a clear plastic file sheet, and decorative parts.

Cut the clear file slightly larger than the bottle opening and make a hole in the center for the glitter to pass through.

Attach tape and half-cover the hole, then glue it to the bottle.

Add the glitter and glue on the other bottle.

Finish it off cutely with decorative parts.

After adding the glitter, be careful not to turn it over until the adhesive has dried.

lampshade

I tried making a lampshade! Perfect for a summer vacation project—my child and I had fun making it together 😊

Here’s a lampshade idea that also works as room decor.

Brush glue mixed with water onto an inflated balloon, then stick on small torn pieces of washi paper.

For sturdiness, layer the washi several times until the balloon’s color isn’t very visible.

Be sure to leave an opening where the light will go.

Since washi is white, use tissue paper if you want to add color.

Once it’s completely dry, pop the balloon and remove it, then secure a wire along the inside edge of the opening for the light to finish it off.
