Simple yet amazing crafts: craft ideas that elementary school students will want to make

Rifle-style chopstick rubber band gun

An insanely cool rubber band gun!! [Rifle type]

This is a chopstick gun assembled into a shape like a rifle, clearly conveying a strong, powerful image.

Each part is made by aligning chopsticks and gluing them together, then assembling pieces of different lengths and widths into a rifle form.

The rubber band firing mechanism is simple: a rubber band hooked at the front is released by moving the trigger.

Because of that simplicity, the visual impression of strength depends on how much heft and presence you can express in other aspects.

You can showcase individuality by either making the most of the chopstick material itself or by adding solid decorative elements.

A beanbag-toss game using ping-pong balls

A ping-pong ball tossing game! A craft you can make in 3 minutes that kids will love! #craft #handmadetoys #games #elementaryschool

Here’s a fun and engaging game using ping-pong balls: a ball-toss challenge.

Gather chopsticks, clothespins, tape, and paper cups to make it.

When building the launcher, be mindful of the angle as you fix the chopsticks in place with tape.

Secure them firmly with tape and test to make sure it works properly as you build.

Attach a pair of plastic bottle caps to the back end of the chopsticks, and it’s complete.

You can decorate it however you like.

Stick paper cups on the wall to create goals, then try shooting from the launcher and have fun playing!

Cake-shaped accessory case

Here’s an idea for a cake-themed trinket holder made with paper cups.

First, take one paper cup and cut straight from the rim down to the base, then cut out the base as well.

Use this as the template base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper to make it look like a cake.

Once you’ve finished decorating the base, attach it to another paper cup, and you’re done.

It’s easy and cute, and you can customize the decoration however you like—highly recommended! With a bit more effort, you can even add a lid to the trinket holder, so give that a try if you have the time.

Super easy!! Make a paper yo-yo with wrapping paper and chopsticks — no ruler needed, no measuring, fun, nostalgic, handmade toy ❤︎ How to make paper rolling/Handmade Toys ❤︎ #848

Let me introduce a paper yo-yo made from chopsticks and wrapping paper that’s fun to stretch and snap back.

Prepare some chopsticks and wrapping paper, and let’s get started.

Measure the length and cut the wrapping paper into a rectangle, then join the pieces with glue or tape.

Secure a chopstick with tape and roll the paper around it.

The key is to roll it tightly so there are no gaps.

Finish with decorations, and it’s done.

Try different wrapping papers to make your own original paper yo-yo and have fun! Be safe and don’t aim it at people.

Spinning piggy bank

Why not make a fun piggy bank where the coins spin as they go in? It’s a perfect idea for a summer vacation craft.

First, slice a milk carton into rings, press the corners to flatten the center space, and make four “blades” to form a propeller.

Decorate the edges with vinyl tape, and make two large propellers and four small ones in the same way.

Skewer a large propeller on a bamboo stick, then add two small propellers on each side to create a spinning mechanism.

Insert this into a clear tube, make a coin slot in the lid, put the lid on, and you’re done.
