Drop-in game with a straw

[DIY Educational Toy from the 100-Yen Shop] Drop-In Game with Straws #shorts

“Straw drop” is a type of therapeutic play that supports children’s development.

Through this activity, kids can build fine motor skills and concentration.

By grasping straws and dropping them into holes, they also enhance hand–eye development and observation skills.

Recognizing colors and shapes and developing an interest in numbers stimulate their senses and cognitive abilities, making this a recommended support tool.

It also gives children a sense of achievement.

Since they can learn while having fun, try making your own version and enjoy it together with the kids!

picture card

I’ll teach you how to use and make picture cards! Let’s create visual support tools [Developmental Disability Child Support Specialist Channel]

Picture cards support children’s communication through words.

They are especially helpful for children who are slightly delayed in development or who have autistic traits.

By using picture cards to present information visually, children can more easily understand situations.

For example, showing instructions for actions or everyday events with pictures helps children think about what they should do.

This can make daily life and social behavior proceed more smoothly.

Try making picture cards by hand and enjoy using them together so children can feel secure in their daily lives.

Handmade croissant craft

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.

Make it with fleece! Here are some ideas for a bear hand puppet.

Fleece is a great fabric for beginners because it doesn’t fray easily even when the edges are cut, making it easy to sew.

It’s also a good idea to repurpose fleece you no longer wear.

Give it a try! Once your bear puppet is finished, use it to perform fingerplays, nursery rhymes, or folktales featuring bears—it’s sure to capture children’s interest.

It could also be fun to adapt the design to motifs other than a bear.
