How about making your own hand spinner that twirls between your fingers or on a desk, finished in a cute flower shape? Use two circles cut from cardboard for the finger pads, connect them with a toothpick to form the axle, and attach the spinning flower piece between them, leaving a slight gap as you assemble the axle.

The way it spins will change depending on the gap between your fingers and the rotating part, as well as the size of the hole the toothpick passes through, so try building it while experimenting with ways to make it spin longer.

Flower Hand-cranked Spinning Top

@n.annlee321

A hand-spun top that you spin with your palm ☺️✨Summer Vacation Craft#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Let’s make a hand-spun top that you spin vigorously with your hand, designed with a cute, flower-inspired look.

We’ll use a disposable chopstick as the top’s axle, and wrap long, folded strips of paper around it to form the shape of the top.

Everyone should clearly imagine their favorite flower and think about which colors of paper will best match that flower.

Wrapping the paper tightly is the key to making the whole piece sturdy and ensuring it spins well.

Cute shaved ice piggy bank

Here’s an idea for a shaved-ice coin bank made from a milk carton.

It’s adorable because a little face pops out when you put a coin in.

Prepare a small milk carton and peel off the outer printed layer so it’s white.

Cut the spout into a mountain shape.

Draw the syrup part with a pen, attach an iridescent (aurora) sheet, and create the slot for inserting coins.

Next, pierce a rotating cardboard piece with a bamboo skewer and fix it inside the milk carton.

Thread the face piece onto the part of the skewer that sticks out of the carton and glue it in place, then decorate the other end with beads.

Attach thick paper around it to hide the skewer, and close the spout to finish.

Handmade croissant craft

@n.annlee321

Pretty hard to do in real life, huh? 🥹#ElementarySchoolMomSummer Vacation CraftParentingChildcareHandmade#100-yen shop DIY#100-yen-shop

♬ Touch – KATSEYE

Croissants, whose toasty aroma practically comes through just by looking at them, are a popular bread across generations.

Let’s recreate that delicious croissant appearance using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.

For the base, cut a puzzle mat into three different sizes, then glue them together while creating steps.

Once the base is complete, apply double-sided tape across the entire surface and wrap brown yarn around it to mimic the look of a croissant.

Since the layered dough and variations in browning are part of a croissant’s appeal, experiment with how you wrap the yarn and also use paint to reproduce these details effectively.

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!

Apple candy squeeze

[DIY] Nanotape Bubble Apple Candy DIY – I tried making a squishy apple-candy squeeze toy 🍎

When it comes to classic summer festival treats, candied apples are at the top of the list! They’re such a popular food stall item.

Let’s make those delicious-looking candied apples as a summer vacation craft.

They look so real you could mistake them for the real thing.

With only a few materials and simple steps, it’s perfect even for people who aren’t confident in crafts.

If you have slime, nano tape, scissors, and wooden chopsticks, you can make them right away.

The squishy, mysterious texture is fun too, making this a great summer craft for playful girls.
