bath bomb

Bath bombs that fizz and dissolve when you drop them in the tub are popular with kids, too.
Here’s how to make these colorful, crackling treats.
First, add baking soda, citric acid, coconut milk powder, and cornstarch to a bowl.
Mix in essential oils and colorants, then combine the powders.
When the mixture is firm enough to hold together when squeezed by hand, pack it into molds and let it dry for 2–3 days.
You can create a variety of bath bombs depending on the essential oils and colorants you use.
Try making these to make kids’ bath time even more fun.

Let’s make hair accessories with resin! I’ll show you an idea for making hair ties using candy containers.
What you’ll need: empty candy containers, UV/epoxy resin, colored cellophane or aurora origami paper, hair tie findings, and hair ties.

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!
Original pouch made from a snack bag

Here’s an idea for making an original pouch using a snack bag.
You’ll need an empty snack bag, an A6-size hard card case, a craft knife, a ruler, fabric double-sided tape, scissors, a zipper, and a hair dryer.
First, cut off the top part of the hard card case with the craft knife.
Next, cut the snack bag so that the Anpanman illustration is included, and apply the fabric double-sided tape.
Finally, attach the zipper to the hard card case with the fabric double-sided tape, then apply heat with the hair dryer—and you’re done!
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.
Give it a try!
