Make it with paper! A fun collection of handmade toy ideas you can play with (21–30)
cute strawberry

Let’s make cute, round, red strawberries with paper quilling! Paper quilling is a type of papercraft where you roll thin strips of paper.
First, cut lots of strips of red construction paper about 3 mm wide.
Next, wrap the tip of a strip around a pin and roll the paper around and around.
Glue down the end to secure it.
Make several of these rolled parts, and since you’ll stack them to form the strawberry shape, vary the length you roll so the parts are different sizes.
Glue the parts together, and once you’ve made the strawberry, add the calyx using green construction paper—and you’re done! Making lots of them looks super cute.
Flapping cards

Here’s how to make a flippy hexagon toy using A4 paper.
Prepare A4 paper, glue, scissors, a ruler, and colored pens.
Place the A4 sheet horizontally, mark about three points 3 cm up from the bottom, draw a line, and cut along the line.
From the edge of the cut strip, mark 2 cm, draw a line from the corner, and cut.
After cutting, rotate the paper and fold it into a triangle.
Next, paying attention to the lines, fold it backward; keep repeating this step, alternating the folds.
Open the paper, and if you have 10 triangles, cut the strip at the line at the end of the 10th triangle.
After folding along the line of the 3rd triangle, count to the 3rd line again and fold.
You’ll have some excess at the end, so lift the lower layer up, fold the protruding triangular part toward you, and glue it down.
Draw your favorite illustration on one side, then open it again from the core and draw the picture once more—and you’re done!
Onigiri Concentration
@niconico_mama Let’s have fun making and playing! 💕 Cut construction paper into the same size, stick circle stickers in matching pairs, and your Memory Game is ready! ✨ I made mine in an onigiri 🍙 shape because it’s easy, but if triangles are tricky, you can make square onigiri 🍙 or barrel-shaped ones 🍙 too… 😍 Sticking the circle stickers is fun, and after you’re done, you can play! 💕 Try a memory card game! 💕 Start with a small number of cards, then gradually add more to adjust the difficulty—highly recommended 😊 It’s easy to make and play, so have fun! 😊💕 —————————— What I used: • Construction paper (thick paper recommended) • Circle stickers • Scissors • Glue —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you always for your comments and likes 😊 I’m super happy when people tell me they made it too ☺️♥️ Can’t wait to see what everyone plays and creates! 😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Concentration#ConstructionPaperCraftsEducational play
Adventure – YOASOBI
Concentration is a game that both adults and children can enjoy.
This time, let’s make Concentration cards that look like rice balls (onigiri)! Cut white construction paper into triangles and draw the fillings.
Since it’s Concentration, be sure to draw two of each item! In the video, dot stickers are used to represent the fillings, so using stickers might make it look even more realistic.
Once you stick black construction paper on the front to represent the seaweed, your Onigiri Concentration set is complete! The possibilities for onigiri fillings are endless, so it really expands how you can play.
Paper wind-up car

Here’s how to make a paper wind-up car.
Prepare: construction paper with the body and wheel sizes measured and drawn, toothpicks, thin straws, strips of A4 copy paper cut to 1.5 cm width, cellophane tape, glue, scissors, and a compass.
Cut the straw into 2 cm pieces and tape them to the body, then attach the cut copy paper strips to the body as well.
For the wheels, use the compass point to make a hole for the toothpick, insert the toothpick, and secure it with glue.
Tape the end of the paper strip to the wheel you just made.
Make a hole in the other wheel, slide it onto the other end of the toothpick, secure it with glue, and you’re done! Turn the toothpick to wind it up and let it run.

Let’s make it with origami! Here are some ideas for an origami hand spinner.
A hand spinner is a small toy that you spin with your palm or fingers.
It became a worldwide craze around 2017, so many parents may already know it.
This time, let’s make a hand spinner out of origami.
All you need is origami paper and glue.
If you blow on it, you can enjoy watching it spin around and around.
When giving it to a child with small hands, it’s a good idea to adjust the size of the origami paper.
