Fun Activities and Recreational Games for Girls (11–20)
Handmade crayons: let’s make them in any shape you like!
Handmade crayons—can you really make crayons? You might wonder, but it’s actually very easy to create your own cute originals.
All you need are crayons and a silicone mold.
Even though “making” them just means melting the crayons and letting them harden again, by mixing colors for a marbled look or using star and heart shapes, you can end up with completely different, adorable crayons.
Both crayons and silicone molds are available at 100-yen shops, so it’s super convenient.
To make them, simply cut the crayons into small pieces with scissors, put them into the silicone mold, melt them in the microwave, and let them harden again.
Let’s try! 5 hula hoop tricks
How about playing with a hula hoop and trying various tricks? When you think of a hula hoop, the main way to play is spinning it around your waist and seeing how long you can keep it going without dropping it.
But with a little creativity, there are so many ways to play! You can spin it like a top on the floor, spin it and then catch it, swing it like a jump rope and hop through, or use it like a hopper to jump forward—and more.
It sounds fun to let kids play using their own unique ideas, too.
Simple, cheap, and cute! Candle making
How about trying to handcraft some visually beautiful candles? Plain white candles like the ones used on household altars can be transformed into cute candles that excite both kids and adults.
Take an ordinary white candle and remove the wick without cutting it, then finely chop the wax with scissors or the like.
Add your favorite color of crayon and melt it in a double boiler, then pour it into an empty container or cut it out with your favorite molds.
You can also add fragrance with essential oils if you like.
Let’s dance! “Make you happy”
A lot of kids probably love dancing and do it often, don’t they? These days there are tons of dance videos from dance groups and idols, as well as “I tried dancing” videos, many of which even teach you the choreography.
Especially for girls, there are surely many who love NiziU’s “Make you happy” and can’t help but start dancing as soon as they hear the music.
Dancing alone is cute and fun, but when a few people dance together, the cuteness doubles.
Simple flower play with familiar wild grasses
Small flowers and wild plants blooming in parks and open fields are so cute and soothing to look at, aren’t they? How about playing with those wild plants? You can make adorable little butterflies using white clover leaves (clover).
You can also braid a crown from white clover flowers and decorate it with the butterflies—it’s super cute.
Plus, you can even make a mobile using pink woodsorrel (Oxalis).
Pink woodsorrel has a sturdy vein running through its stem, so you can make use of that vein when crafting.
It’s also nice to take your creations home and display them.
Making stylish deodorizer with ice packs
Many people end up with lots of leftover cold packs given out with cakes and similar purchases, don’t they? Did you know you can turn those cold packs into deodorizers? The contents of the packs—high-concentration polymers—absorb unpleasant odors.
Let’s make a deodorizer using cold packs you might otherwise throw away! All you need are an empty jar or plastic container, the cold packs, essential oils, and decorative marbles, etc.
Simply put the contents of the cold pack into an empty container to make a deodorizer, and you can add paint for color or decorate it to create a deodorizer that looks cute as well!
