Crane game with paper cups that kids and adults will love #Shorts

A crane game you can make with paper cups that fascinates both kids and adults.

Punch small holes in the bottoms of two paper cups, fold them into eight equal sections, and alternate the folds back and forth.

Leave four of the sections as slits to create movable parts.

Next, insert a straw with cuts in it to act as the arms and provide movement.

Connect that straw section to the other paper cup, and you’ve completed a mechanism that can be operated like a crane.

By adjusting how you move it, you can enjoy grabbing prizes.

It’s relatively easy even for beginners at crafting, and the materials are simple to prepare.

It’s a fun idea that you can get excited about making together with kids—and have a great time playing with afterward.

Crane game made from a milk carton

[Milk Carton Craft] Easy! How to Make a Claw Machine

A claw machine made by recycling milk cartons is an eco-friendly craft you can try with everyday materials.

First, open up the carton, cut it into the necessary shapes, and secure everything firmly with duct tape.

Next, create the part where the string will be tied, and staple the arm’s joints while devising how they connect.

Make holes in the control handle, thread the string through, tie it tightly, and reinforce it with duct tape.

Once finished, you’ll have a mechanism that lets you operate an arm moving up and down to grab prizes.

The light weight and easy workability unique to milk cartons are key features, making it perfect for doing with children.

Let’s make darts!

[This feels good] Let’s make darts! [Cardboard craft]

Prepare several long strips of cardboard cut to a width of 3.5 cm.

Lightly spray one side with water to moisten it, then peel off the outer layer of paper.

Once the cardboard is dry, use glue and roll it up from one end into a spiral.

Keep adding strips and roll them all together.

That completes the target, so next we’ll make arrows using origami paper and toothpicks.

Use a toothpick as the arrow’s shaft, and glue origami paper to the back as the fletching.

Wrap tape around the tip of the toothpick as a weight, and it’s done.

Mount the target on a wall and try throwing the arrows to play.

Can Stacking Game

[Can-Stacking Game] Aim for the ceiling!

Will it reach the ceiling? Let me introduce a can-stacking game.

It’s a simple game corner using empty cans.

The moment you place each can while keeping the balance, you can’t help but hold your breath and get really serious.

It works for both team matches and individual play.

It’s a good idea to prepare stools or chairs in case the stack gets higher than the children’s height.

In that case, make sure a parent or teacher stays close by to prevent falls.

Operate with 4 strings! UFO catcher

[Craft] Operate with four strings! How to make a UFO catcher and how it works explained

This is a crane game that lets you freely play with strings while also exercising fine motor skills.

Use construction paper to make the pillars and frame, and fix bamboo skewers to the base to attach the strings.

Hang a weighted arm made from construction paper there, thread fishing line through it, and set it up so you can pull from four directions.

When you pull the strings, the arm opens; when you release them, the weight causes it to naturally close—allowing you to play just like a real UFO catcher.

Finally, add a prize retrieval slot, and you’ll have a solid finished product that can actually grab and collect prizes.

Building it while understanding the mechanism makes it educational, and it’s a unique idea that encourages trial and error through play.
