A one-of-a-kind toy clock in the world

Summer vacation craft project: Want to make a one-of-a-kind toy clock?

The idea is to make a clock using a clock movement and a board, then attach various toys to it.

You can get a clock movement at a 100-yen shop or a handmade goods store, and you can buy the board for the clock face at a home improvement store.

First, draw diagonal lines on the board to find the center point, and mark where to drill the hole for the movement.

Next, use a protractor to decide where to place the numbers on the clock.

After drilling the hole and painting if you like, it’s time to decorate the face.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the toys however you like.

Finally, secure the clock movement in the hole, and you’re done.

Arrange your favorite toys with style and create a wonderful clock!

Dinosaur Snow Globe

I’m going to introduce a second grader’s summer vacation craft! A dinosaur snow globe. Koki TV

Many children love dinosaurs, don’t they? Some probably have lots of dinosaur merchandise, too.

So let’s make a summer vacation project using dinosaurs: a snow globe in a glass container filled with liquid laundry starch (or school glue) and purified water.

Use a hot glue gun to attach a dinosaur figurine to the inside of the glass lid.

Be careful when using the glue gun, as it gets very hot.

Pour the laundry starch (or glue) and purified water into the container, then tint it with paint in your favorite color.

If you add glitter, you’ll get a sparkly, authentic-looking snow globe.

Close the lid and turn it upside down, and you’ll have a beautiful snow globe with a dinosaur inside.

Here’s how to make a banana tart toy that can be used both as a trinket box and for pretend play.

All you need is a round empty cheese box and some felt.

First, use a hot glue gun to apply evenly spaced vertical lines around the side of the box lid.

Once dry, attach brown felt with double-sided tape to create the distinctive tart base.

Cover the top’s packaging surface with white felt, then prepare three long, thin strips of white felt and braid them; glue the braid along the edge.

Arrange felt bananas on top, paint the bottom part of the box brown, and you’re done.
