Perfect for events! Here’s a fun balloon target game.

Balloons are soothing to watch as they gently float up when you tap them.

They also make great targets for paper shuriken—so it’s extra fun! All you need are balloons in your favorite colors and some string.

If you want to make the shuriken shown in the video, prepare some origami paper too.

When the sharp tip of a shuriken hits a balloon, it can pop with a loud bang, so be mindful of the location and time when you play.

Give it a try!

Target made with newspaper and paper cups

Play hero with an extending sword! Target-hitting game

Simple steps are the best! Here’s an idea for making a target using just a newspaper and a paper cup.

Using lots of materials to make a complicated target can take a lot of time, right? This is a great idea for when you want to play right now! All you need is a paper cup and newspaper.

Make a round balloon out of the newspaper and place it on top of the paper cup—that’s it! Once you get the hang of it, making the balloon smaller could be fun, too.

Try customizing the target while you play! In the video, we use an extending sword, but it could also work well as a target for throwing stars (shuriken).

Target practice with a bag stuffed with cotton

Get the party going at events! Here’s a fun target game idea using bags stuffed with cotton.

Many people host parties for occasions like Christmas or Halloween, right? In those moments, try a group game that uses event-themed motifs to amp up the excitement.

All you need are gift bags, cotton, and ribbon.

If you don’t have patterned gift bags, drawing illustrations on clear bags with a marker works great, too! It’s a fun idea with lots of room for customization.

In the video, an air cannon is used, but it also looks like it could double as a target for throwing paper shuriken.

mold cutting

Tanukiya at the festival! “If you succeed, you get a Slot Gum~” Slot gumball shop

Katanuki, a game where you carve shapes out of sugar candy, is one of the must-have stalls at traditional fairs.

If you don’t apply the right amount of pressure and avoid poking it with the needle, it’ll crack right away and you’ll fail.

Many people probably have memories of trying over and over after multiple failed attempts.

The katanuki molds are easy to find on online shops, so it’s perfect for recreating a fair at home.

How about preparing some prizes for when someone succeeds and enjoying it with your kids? You might be surprised to find the parents get even more into it than the children.

Anpanman fan

[DIY] Easy! Anpanman Uchiwa (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!

ladle scooping

2 and a half years old: playing at home—ladle scooping game

Try “ladle scooping,” a twist on the classic goldfish scooping game! Fill a box with balls of various sizes, then just have players scoop them up with a ladle.

That alone gives you a summer festival vibe.

It’s super easy—no need to fill a tub with water or prepare the special scooping tool (poi) used for goldfish.

When someone manages to scoop a ball, celebrate together! As a variation, you could add a rule like “How many can you get within the time limit?” for an extra dose of excitement.

Target practice with an extendable sword

[Toy] Rolling paper made from posters! [Festival] – How to make –

Do you know rolling papers? They’re toy papers that are rolled up into a stick shape, and when you flick them forward, the curled paper shoots out and extends.

You can make one yourself using a poster.

Let’s use the popping force of a rolling paper to create a game where you knock down targets.

To make a rolling paper, just cut a poster into long, narrow strips, tape them together to make a long piece, and roll it tightly around a chopstick.

Rolling it a bit tightly will give you a cleaner finish.

Feel free to decorate the paper cups you’ll use as targets.

Try competing to see how many paper cups you can knock down by skillfully handling the rolling paper!
