How about making a delicious-looking sandwich out of a melamine sponge that you’ll just want to take on a picnic? It’s very easy to make! First, prepare a large, thick melamine sponge and cut it into a triangle, imagining the shape of a sandwich.

Use a craft knife to make a slit so you can insert the fillings.

Next, create the fillings—such as ham, lettuce, or spaghetti—using construction paper or yarn.

If you use colorful materials for the fillings, the result will look extra cute.

Finally, tuck the fillings into the sponge sandwich, and you’re done! Try making different fillings and have fun playing with them.

A toothbrushing doll to make with children

Fun from infancy! Here are ideas for making toothbrushing puppets with your children.

You’ll need a milk carton, colored construction paper, and white round stickers.

Cut the milk carton and transform it into your favorite animal! For the final touch, stick the white round stickers—pretending they’re teeth—inside the mouth.

Infants can enjoy this step too, so it’s great to work on together with parents or teachers.

How about practicing scrubbing teeth with the milk-carton toothbrushing puppet you made as a team?
