How to make a Disney kids’ lunch (bento)
A full-on adorable independent study on “How to Make a Disney Kids’ Lunch.” Think up and create your own Disney-style kids’ lunch that looks cute and exciting—like Mickey-shaped chicken rice, an omelet, fried shrimp, a hamburger patty, potato salad, and more! It’s an edible work of art, perfect for people who love cooking and design.
You can make everything with paper clay, so it’s super easy.
Even if you can’t easily go to Tokyo Disneyland, making this craft will let you feel like you’ve enjoyed a kids’ lunch there.
Recreating Disney park food!
Perfect for a summer vacation science project! Let’s make a “Little Green Men Squishy.” You know them as popular Disney characters.
These cute and unique Little Green Men can be turned into a squishy with a soft, bouncy feel.
It’s a hands-on craft where you can create a mysterious toy that looks just like the real thing and feels great to squeeze.
All you need are liquid foundation sponges from the 100-yen shop, fast-drying clear glue, and acrylic paint.
Finish a Disney park-style treat that looks real, and enjoy your summer vacation!
Aroma Fragrance
If you’re looking for an easy, summery craft, I recommend making an aroma fragrance jar! Prepare a jar, gel ice packs, blue food coloring, essential oils, and decorations like marbles or seashells.
First, fill the jar about one-third full with the gel from the ice packs and add the food coloring to tint it.
Once the color is set, add more gel and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Finally, add the decorations and put the lid on—you’re done! Using blue food coloring with marbles or seashells makes it look like you’ve captured the sea inside the jar.
Try creating one with your favorite theme!

hairpin
Let’s try arranging hairpins by focusing on the glue gun’s clear, unobtrusive look and adhesive function.
The idea is to attach decorations to simple hairpins using a glue gun.
You can combine hairpins with ready-made embellishments, or it could be fun to make your own decorations.
If you coat wire-based ornaments with hot glue, you can achieve safe, rounded edges and a sense of dimension.
A glue gun also allows various tweaks to the spacing between the hairpin and the decorations, so aim to create your own three-dimensional hairpins.
Push Pop
Why not try making an irresistibly satisfying push pop with origami? You’ll feel that little “pop” as it indents when you press it with your finger.
Fold two boxes of the same size from origami paper, then use the bottom surface to create the push section.
Flip them over, glue them together vertically and horizontally, and you’re done.
A push pop you can use when you’re bored, when your thoughts won’t come together and your hands need something to do, or as a little brain wake-up when you’ve just gotten out of bed.
Try making them with different colors of origami paper and combine your favorite colors!
Apple trinket box
This is a small apple-shaped container made using the shape of the bottoms of plastic bottles.
Prepare two bottles of the same size; cut one about 8 cm up from the bottom and the other about 4 cm up to make the body and the lid.
Use the leftover pieces to make a leaf and paint it with green acrylic paint.
Once the paint dries, roll up a piece of paper to serve as the apple’s stem, attach the leaf, and glue it to the lid with a hot glue gun.
The cut edges of the bottles can be sharp, so it’s safer to cover them with clear tape or similar.
By changing the size of the bottles, you can make apples in various sizes!
Snowflakes made of yarn

After cutting three disposable chopsticks short, use two of them to make an X shape, then place it over the remaining stick set vertically and secure them with yarn.
Next, wrap more yarn around them to create a snowflake.
When wrapping, go one stick at a time: loop the yarn once around a stick, then move on to the next chopstick.
The yarn doesn’t have to be the same color—switching to a different yarn partway through creates a pretty pattern.
You’ll get a variety of snowflakes depending on how many wraps you make and the types of yarn you use, so try making several kinds.
