Beaded accessories
How about making stylish beaded accessories as a summer vacation craft—something every girl wants to try at least once? You can enjoy wearing them yourself, or they’d make lovely gifts for friends! There are many kinds of beads available even at 100-yen shops, so your child can probably make them within their allowance.
The basic flower motif is easy even for beginners, and depending on the colors and combinations—clear, matte, and more—you can create a chic finish! Once you get the hang of it, try leveling up with lace-like designs or heart motifs.
Diatomaceous earth coaster
When you leave a glass filled with a cold drink on the table, condensation forms and makes the surface wet.
Let’s try making your own diatomaceous earth coasters that absorb those droplets.
Because it’s closely related to staying hydrated, it’s also perfect as a summer science project.
The steps are simple: put water in a paper cup, add diatomaceous earth powder and stir, pour it into a mold, and let it dry—that’s it.
The key is to mix so there’s no unevenness and to remove air bubbles thoroughly; keep this in mind to make a sturdy coaster that won’t crack.
If you use waterproof paint at the water-mixing stage, you can color the entire piece as well.
Colorful Koropika Mud Dumpling
Let’s try making colorful mud dumplings.
Kits that include mud-dumpling mix and finishing powder are available.
Using these, you can make colorful, shiny mud dumplings.
Mix water into the mud-dumpling mix and knead it to form a ball.
Sprinkle fine, dry soil over it and let it dry.
Then repeatedly sprinkle on your favorite colored powder, let it dry, roll it, and polish it.
The more you polish, the shinier it gets.
Be careful not to press too hard and crack it!
separated tea
Let’s try making a colorful, Instagram-worthy science project: a two-layer “separate tea”! It looks like something you’d get at a stylish café—juices or coffee that make you want to snap a photo.
You can actually make it at home! The trick is that the amount of sugar changes the liquid’s density, creating layers.
With juices and tea selected for their colors, plus gum syrup and ice, it’s easy to do.
Add a bit of decoration around it and take a lovely photo.
Recommended for lower to middle elementary school students.
resin keychain
We will make a sparkly, space-like keychain using resin.
You’ll need resin liquid, a mold, glitter or holographic flakes, and so on.
For one half, use resin and glitter to create a spiral; for the other half, add paint, glitter, holograms, etc.
to make the background color.
Combine the two, cure again with resin, sand the surface, attach the findings, and your keychain is complete.
It takes a bit of time and effort, but it’s a fun hands-on project you can enjoy.
Recommended for upper elementary grades and above.
handmade watch
This is an independent study project where you try making your own original clock.
Depending on your ideas, you can make use of various materials and parts.
Aside from the clock mechanism, you can decorate it cutely with items from a 100-yen shop, so gathering materials is easy and fun.
Since you’ll be making holes in the base with a screwdriver, ask an adult to help with that part.
It’s a recommended craft for upper elementary grades and above.
Try making it with glitter, beads, and your favorite items you have at home!

It’s not only cute to look at, but also super squishy and soothing to the touch.
To make it even cuter, try adding strawberries, cookies, and pink pearls.
