Dice made from felt fabric

Which character will it be? Let me share an idea for making dice out of felt.
What you’ll need: felt, a needle, thread, and scissors.
Since the dice are made of felt, they have a soft, gentle texture that’s really appealing.
The character faces are cute, and the colorful dice are sure to get kids excited! If you add number designs as an extra touch, children can also get familiar with numbers while playing—highly recommended! Give it a try!
Spinning Face-Changing Paper Cup Toy
https://www.tiktok.com/@tomo_mama_/video/7288627403402874119Let’s play by spinning paper cups! Here’s a fun paper cup toy where the face changes as you turn it.
You’ll need two paper cups, a craft knife or scissors, and colored pens.
First, draw Anpanman’s full body on one cup.
The key is to cut out the face area! Next, stack the cups and draw various expressions—like a smiley face or a surprised face—on the inner cup.
Finally, spin the stacked cups, and you’re done! It would also be fun to make versions with Anpanman’s friends.

Make it with felt! Here are some ideas for Anpanman-themed cups.
You’ll need paper cups, felt, a clear file folder, double-sided tape, scissors, and a pencil.
This idea is great for gifts and events.
Cut the felt to fit the size of the paper cup and stick it on with double-sided tape.
Cut out parts like the Anpanman belt and attach them to the cup to finish! It’s fun to decide what to put inside the cup—candy or stationery are great options.
Give it a try!

You’ll need balloons, pom-pom decoration balls, colored construction paper, toilet paper rolls, tape, a paper cup, double-sided tape, a white pen, scissors, and origami paper.
When you pull the balloon and let go, the decoration balls placed inside the toilet paper roll pop out with a fun “boing!” It’s perfect not only for birthday parties and other events, but also as a toy for playing at home.
Anpanman fan

Introducing a fun idea for an Anpanman fan featuring a cool cape that spreads out! Here’s how to make an Anpanman fan.
You’ll need origami paper, construction paper, a pencil, a wooden skewer, craft glue, a ruler, scissors, tape, colored pens, and colored pencils.
The Anpanman fan has a mechanism: when you rotate the wooden skewer, Anpanman’s cape opens up, making it look like he’s flying—so fun, right? It’ll be exciting to make together with kids, too.
