Balloon Rocket

[Easy Craft 048] Balloon Rocket: Let's make it float and fly high

Fun to make and fun to play! Here’s how to make a high-flying balloon rocket.

First, if your straw has a bendy part, cut off the accordion section.

If it doesn’t, trim it just a little shorter.

Next, to make it easier to attach to the straw, cut the balloon’s neck at about 1.2 cm.

Insert the straw into the balloon and secure it with cellophane tape.

Make fins from construction paper in any size you like and attach them to the straw.

Since the balloon will inflate, stick the fins slightly lower on the straw, and you’re done! Hold the balloon while inflating it, then let go and it will fly! If it doesn’t fly well, try wrapping some cellophane tape around it to add a little weight.

PET bottle water gun

Let's make a water gun with a plastic bottle

Recycle a plastic bottle into a water gun! You can easily make this with a plastic bottle container.

First, use an awl to make a hole in the bottle cap that’s just big enough for a straw to fit through.

Once the hole is made, insert the straw and screw the cap back on.

That’s all it takes to finish, but feel free to decorate the bottle with stickers or vinyl tape however you like.

To use it, fill the bottle with water and squeeze the container—it’ll work like a water gun! For infants whose grip strength is still developing and might find squeezing difficult, we recommend using tea or water bottles, which tend to be softer and easier to press.

It bounces like a beach ball and is so much fun! It doesn’t hurt when it hits you, making it perfect for playing outside.

Here’s how to make a balloon ball.

First, inflate a balloon to about the size of your palm.

Wrap the balloon with vinyl tape.

Start at the top of the balloon and stick the tape straight down toward the knot, wrapping it all the way around once.

Rotate it 90 degrees and do the same.

Then add two more wraps in the spaces between in the same way.

Turn the balloon sideways and wrap one band horizontally around the middle, and you’re done! It’s hard to pop, so it’s great for games at events and highly recommended.

Spins really well! Here’s how to make a figure-eight pinwheel with a mysterious motion.

Put two pieces of cellophane tape between the two plates.

A windmill that flies like a kite

[How to Make a Kite] How to Make a Pinwheel That Flies Like a Kite! How to Make a Playable Pinwheel!! DIY Kite

Let me introduce a pinwheel that flies high in the sky like a kite.

Prepare A4 drawing paper, a ruler, string, and scissors, and let’s make it.

Cut the A4 drawing paper into a square, then use the ruler to draw lines connecting opposite corners to make an X.

Using scissors, cut along each line about two thirds of the way toward the center.

Fold and glue the cut corners toward the center to form the blades.

Use a thin straw as the base, wrap a small rectangle of drawing paper around it to create the axle for the pinwheel.

Make a hole in the center of the blades, insert the axle, and fix it with glue.

Thread the string through the hole in the center of the axle, tie the cut straw to both sides, and it’s done! If you prepare a long string and let it up into the sky, the pinwheel will spin in the wind.

Leaf Pinwheel

How to make a leaf pinwheel video

Let’s make toys using nature! Here’s an idea for a leaf pinwheel.

You’ll need four leaves, a wooden bead, a straw, and a bamboo skewer.

Pinwheels are often made with paper, but this idea is charming because it uses natural materials for the propeller.

Once you find four favorite leaves, try making the pinwheel! After threading a wooden bead onto the bamboo skewer, pierce four leaves that have been folded in half.

Then thread another wooden bead on top and insert the skewer into the straw.
