[Handmade Toys] Fun to Make! A Collection of Pull-Along Toy Ideas

Heart Cracker

Here’s an introduction to a heart-shaped cracker launcher that’s perfect for events.

The pulling motion used to launch it also helps children practice the hand movement they need for dressing themselves.

Prepare a paper cup with a hole in the bottom and attach a balloon whose rounded top has been trimmed off.

Be sure to tie the balloon’s neck securely.

Then just put heart-shaped packing material inside the cup, and you’re done! When you pull the balloon’s neck, the hearts pop out like a party cracker.

It’s easier to clean up than confetti, so give it a try and have fun!

A toy for pulling on various materials

Handmade pull-to-play toy for 0-year-olds

This toy lets children pull on items made from different materials.

It helps develop their sense of touch, so it’s recommended for young kids.

Prepare a basket with holes that you can thread strings through.

Thread the strings through the basket and attach various materials to the ends of the strings—for example, bells, sponges, stretchy keychains, or cardboard toilet paper rolls.

When they pull the bell, it makes a sound; when they pull the sponge, they feel its softness.

They can enjoy a variety of sensations all at once.

buzzing top

[Wakuwaku-san’s Craft Workshop] Let’s make a “whirring spinning top” out of a milk carton!

Here’s an idea for making a whirligig (spinning top) from a milk carton.

You’ll need the bottom of a milk carton, an awl, scissors, twine, a permanent marker, and tape.

First, use the awl to make two holes in the bottom of the milk carton, spaced 1 centimeter apart.

Thread the twine through the two holes and tie the ends together.

If the twine is hard to thread, put a bit of tape on the tip to make it easier.

If you color the milk carton with a permanent marker or add stickers, the spinning top will look colorful and fun when it spins! Enjoy customizing the shape and design, too!

Let’s enjoy the walk we’ve been dreaming of! Here are some balloon walking-pet ideas.

You’ll need balloons, construction paper, glue, scissors, double-sided tape, and ribbon.

Many children probably dream of having a pet and taking it for a walk, right? In that case, try making a balloon walking pet.

Fold strips of construction paper back and forth to make legs and attach them to the balloon, then add eyes and ears made from construction paper.

Tie on a ribbon, and it’s done! Try making your favorite animals like elephants, rabbits, dogs, or cats.

Watching them float and bob around is so cute.

The movement of the rings is mesmerizing! Let me introduce a pull-chain idea.

All you need are a spring holder and colorful rings.

You can easily get the materials at 100-yen shops, so it’s a highly recommended idea.

There are no complicated rules or mechanisms—just pull the spring holder to play! It’s fun to watch the colorful rings spiral down as the pulled spring holder spins.

If you attach a card ring, you can hook it in various places and play with it too!
