[For Seniors] Simple Craft Ideas Using Yakult Bottles (11–20)
Rocket
How about making a pop-up rocket using Yakult containers? All you need are two empty Yakult bottles, a paper cup, masking tape, a straw, and rubber bands.
Connect the two empty containers at their drinking openings to make the rocket, and use the paper cup, straw, and rubber bands to build the launcher.
If the rubber bands are too loose, it won’t fly, so set the rocket and try launching it for real.
If you make it in advance, you’ll likely have a great time playing together when your grandchild comes to visit.

Puppy's Walk (feat. HKP) – ALL BGM CHANNEL & MimiTV
Here’s a craft idea for making an ogre (oni) using a lactic acid bacteria drink container as the base.
Wrap the entire container with yarn to represent the oni’s skin color—such as red or blue—and add yellow-and-black striped pants.
Place yarn hair on top of the container and glue on horns made from felt.
Use rhinestone stickers and thread to create the face, and give it a spiked club to hold to finish it off.
The oni looks cute on its own, but if you prepare a base decorated with beans and display two figures—a red oni and a blue oni—on it, it will look even nicer.
If you have the time, be sure to make the base as well.
Snowman made from a Yakult container
How about making cute snowman dolls using Yakult containers? First, remove the foil lid and the plastic sleeve from the containers.
Next, cover them with white fabric; if you want to give the snowmen a soft, fluffy look, using quilt batting is recommended.
Once the entire surface is covered with fabric, use yarn to make hats for the snowmen.
Then, decorate them with beads and other materials to create the facial features like eyes and nose, as well as decorations for their bodies, and you’re done! Make several and display them together to create a lively, gentle atmosphere.
