Rice made from yarn

@n.annlee321

What kind of rice do you like? 🙂#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys#AtHomePlay

Good music – neguse.

Let’s make a rice mascot that conveys warmth by making the most of yarn’s soft look.

The steps are to bundle yarn wound around a fork and then cut it; the key is shaping it so it ends up looking like rice.

Place it in a bowl or lunchbox-style container you made separately, and aim for an even more appetizing look with additional decorations.

Plain white rice can look too simple, so try mixing in other colors as you wind the yarn, or add side dishes you’ve crafted separately—both are great options.

Easy Ice Bazooka

@picoton_craft

A bazooka you can make with a balloon and a paper cup ✨✨ The “Takoyaki Bazooka” I made before was really popular, so I made an “ice cream version” 🍨 It’s a blast, so definitely give it a try 💕Life with children 　#HandmadeToysSimple craft　#AtHomePlay

♬ summertime – cinnamons

Let’s make an Ice Bazooka that everyone can play with after making it! First, take a sheet of origami cut in half and draw your favorite ice cream on it.

Wrap it around a rolled piece of paper, grip it together, and secure it with tape.

That completes the bazooka ammo.

Next, cut out the bottom of a brown paper cup and draw a cone pattern on it.

Take a balloon with the tip of the part that inflates slightly trimmed, stretch it over the bottom of the paper cup, and tape it in place.

Finally, make a target using a paper cup and construction paper, and you’re done! Pull the balloon to launch your Ice Bazooka and aim for a high score!

Original bath bomb

[100-Yen Shop] Super Easy Bath Bomb Recipe [DIY]

Some bath additives you use in your regular bath produce bubbles.

Those fizzy bath additives and bath bombs are easy to make yourself.

All you need is baking soda and citric acid, plus food coloring for color and essential oils for fragrance.

Since some combinations may not suit your skin, consider your skin type, pay attention to the ratio of baking soda to citric acid and how you handle the ingredients, and try making colorful bath bombs.

With creative molds, it can be an experiment that’s enjoyable to look at as well.

Herbarium Necklace

How to Make a Herbarium Necklace with Crystal Jewelry Oil

Let’s turn the ever-popular herbarium interior decor into a necklace.

Place your favorite glass pieces or flower-motif parts into a small glass dome and fill it with oil made specifically for herbariums.

Then apply resin to the lid area and cure it with a UV light.

Decorate it with cute charms, thread a cord through, and your necklace is complete.

Because it involves handling oil and similar materials, it’s best suited for upper elementary school students and older.

You can finish one in a few hours, so it’s fun to make several.

Experiment to dye flowers with food coloring

[Independent Research] Verifying the Appropriate Amount of Food Coloring for Dyeing Flowers [Experiment]

This is an experiment where you let flowers absorb water colored with food dye and observe how much dye and how much time it takes for the petals to become nicely colored.

It’s simple enough to do while you’re putting flowers in a vase to display, and it’s fun to watch, making it a great independent study project.

Prepare several white flowers and pour the same amount of water into each cup.

Add food coloring in increasing amounts—1 teaspoon, 2 teaspoons, and so on.

Place one flower in each cup and observe over time how much they become dyed and the condition of the flowers, then summarize your findings.

Even lower-grade elementary school children can do this.

You can also film it with your smartphone using a time-lapse.

suncatcher

[Kiwa Recipe] How to Make a Sun Catcher Using Bijou (Crystal Rhinestones)

Let’s make a sun catcher that gathers sunlight and makes your room sparkle.

You’ll need Swarovski crystals, nylon beading thread (monofilament), crimp beads, and pliers.

Thread the pieces onto the line in order, and keep repeating the process of crimping the crimp beads tightly with pliers to secure them.

You can buy kits, but it’s also nice to make one with Swarovski crystals in your favorite colors.

Recommended for upper elementary school students and older.

rock candy

Rock candy ✨ How to make it ✨ Candy that looks like gem 💎 crystals ✨ Sweets ✨ Independent research ✨ Home café ✨ DIY ✨ Rock candy ✨ Sumomomo-dot-com!

Kids—especially girls—love sparkly things, don’t they? As its name suggests, this rock candy is candy, but it sparkles like gemstones, and the process of making it feels more like an experiment than cooking, so it’s perfect for a summer vacation science project.

The materials—granulated sugar, water, disposable chopsticks, bamboo skewers, food coloring, plastic cups, and so on—are easy to gather.

It takes about a week of leaving it undisturbed, but you can document the crystallization during that time as part of the experiment.

Since you’ll use heat to dissolve the sugar, younger children will need adult assistance.
