How to Make a Spinning Target from a Milk Carton | Perfect for Rubber Band Guns and Air Cannons [Handmade Toy / Easy Craft]

Also great for shuriken practice! Here’s an idea for a spinning target.

Hitting a target with a shuriken can be tricky, right? This is a fantastic idea for when you think, “I want to practice!” What you’ll need: two milk cartons, two bamboo skewers, a straw, construction paper, scissors, glue, a pen, an awl, and craft adhesive.

The mechanism that spins when the shuriken hits is unique and fun! If you’re making it with children, be careful when handling the awl and bamboo skewers.

Target game with paper cores

A target-shooting toy that flies well! You can make it with just a few materials.

This is a rubber band shooter you can make with materials you have at home, where you line up paper cores as targets.

Cut slits in a toilet paper core wrapped with duct tape to thread a rubber band through.

Next, cut open the tip of a straw, fold the left and right sides, hook the rubber band onto it, and secure it with tape.

Thread the rubber band through the core, then tape it firmly in place to complete the shooter.

Line up targets made from the cores and shoot balls made of duct tape to play.

It’s also fun to use kitchen paper cores to set up targets at different heights.

Give this easy shooting game a try—kids can enjoy making and playing with it, too.

Strikeout

A fun “struck-out” game that helps kids develop both physical movement and thinking skills.

It lets them practice judging distance to the target and supports physical development.

Another advantage is that, through “struck-out,” they can enjoyably improve motor skills and cognitive functions.

Playing with friends or adults also cultivates teamwork and a spirit of helping one another.

You can make a “struck-out” set using familiar materials, so try crafting one by hand to suit your children’s developmental stage!

A new sensation! Shuriken you don’t throw! Here’s an idea for defeating yokai with a shuriken launching device.

It’s fun and fresh—shuriken you don’t even throw by hand! To make the launcher, prepare cardboard, wooden chopsticks, craft glue, and rubber bands.

Fold construction paper to make the target.

A device that lets kids who made their own shuriken play even more enthusiastically is really appealing, right? Adjust the size of the target to increase the difficulty!

No elaborate prep needed! Here’s a fun tabletop target game you can try anytime.

We all want to play, but if getting ready is a hassle, it’s hard to get started.

This idea is perfect for those times! All you need are empty toilet paper rolls or aluminum foil cores.

Line them up along the edge of the table and slide your “shuriken” to aim at the targets! Using the cores as-is works fine, but if you wrap them with washi-pattern origami or yarn to make them look like scrolls, it’ll boost the mood even more.

Aim at the empty can and knock it down!

@e6u42

It’s a game called “Aim with the shuriken!” You throw shuriken, hit the empty cans lined up on a platform, and knock them down. The clattering sound of the falling cans is lively, and when the shuriken hits just right, everyone gets really excited and has a great time.#Asahikawa#Asahikawatranslation#WelfareCaregiverCaregivingElderlyNurse#CareManagerCare ManagerHome-visit nursingHelper RecruitmentCaregiver recruitmentShuriken#sensoryplay#activities#kindergartan#preschoolactivities#elderycare#older#nursinghome#movement#activating#happykid#etkinlik#kidsactivies#homeschool#preschoolactivities

Let’s have fun by reusing scrap materials! Here’s an idea for a game where you aim at and knock down empty cans.

When you think of shuriken, the throwing motion is super cool, right? Try throwing them while making a “whoosh!” sound effect! All you need are some empty cans.

Stack the cans on a platform and throw your shuriken to knock them down! Best of all, the lively clatter of the cans falling when they’re hit really amps up the excitement.

Become a ninja and give it a try!

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!
