Let’s make darts!
Prepare several long strips of cardboard cut to a width of 3.5 cm.
Lightly spray one side with water to moisten it, then peel off the outer layer of paper.
Once the cardboard is dry, use glue and roll it up from one end into a spiral.
Keep adding strips and roll them all together.
That completes the target, so next we’ll make arrows using origami paper and toothpicks.
Use a toothpick as the arrow’s shaft, and glue origami paper to the back as the fletching.
Wrap tape around the tip of the toothpick as a weight, and it’s done.
Mount the target on a wall and try throwing the arrows to play.
How to make a paper popper
Here’s how to make a simple paper pop gun using a plastic wrap core.
First, roll up some paper to make a small ball about 1 cm in diameter.
Cut a balloon around the middle and attach it to the end of the wrap core.
Secure it with a rubber band so it doesn’t come off, and you’re done! Put the paper ball inside, pull the balloon back, and launch the paper ball you made.
You can also decorate the gun however you like or use cardboard to give it a cool gun shape.
Have fun with your own original ideas!

a spinning target
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.
Cool rubber band gun
Let me introduce a strong and cool rubber band gun.
Prepare 17 bendable straws, a clothespin, tape, and scissors, and let’s make it.
Take two straws and tape their bendable sections together to secure them.
Attach one clothespin to the gap of the joined straws to create the base.
When bundling straws, secure them tightly so the stacked pieces don’t shift.
Stack eight straws by grouping them in sets of four, extend the bendable sections, and build the structure.
When attaching parts together, make sure the straws are firmly fixed so they don’t slip.
Once it’s finished, hook on a rubber band and give it a try!
Exterminating yokai with a shuriken launcher

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.
Ogre Tower Made with Paper Cups
Make and play together with your kids! Here are ideas for an ogre (oni) tower made from paper cups.
Children have rich imaginations, and they often surprise us with “I never would’ve thought of that!” This time, let’s build an oni tower with your child.
You’ll need paper cups, construction paper in your favorite colors, scissors, glue or tape, and pens or colored pencils.
What kind of image do children have of an oni? It’ll be fun to see the expressions they draw and the colors they choose!
