Fun DIY Toy Ideas You Can Make with 100-Yen Store Materials

Unbreakable soap bubble

Unbreakable soap bubbles that spin with a magnet!?

Let me introduce unbreakable soap bubbles.

Prepare wire, ring-shaped magnets, round stickers, prism tape, and a hole punch, then let’s get started.

Attach four strips of prism tape to the magnet so they form a dome, making sure not to cover the hole of the ring magnet.

On the side opposite the magnet, stick on a round sticker to secure it, then punch a hole in the center with the hole punch.

Using shorter pieces of prism tape, make another dome in the same way and add a round sticker as before.

Make one more of the same piece.

Curl the tip of the wire and thread the three pieces onto it from smallest to largest.

Finally, thread the one with the magnet so the magnet ends up on top, and you’re done! It will spin around like a soap bubble.

sensory bag

[Handmade Squishies] Three Types of Educational Toys Babies Can Play With [How to Make & Objectives]

Why not try making a DIY sensory bag and have some fun? Sensory bags are said to stimulate a baby’s sight and hearing and promote brain development, and you can easily make them with items from a 100-yen shop.

First, put an appropriate amount of different textured liquids—such as liquid laundry starch, styling gel, or baby oil—into a zip-top bag.

Next, add color to the liquid with paint, drop in beads or marbles, and seal the bag tightly with tape so nothing leaks out.

The irresistibly squishy feel is surprisingly addictive.

The sparkle of the beads and the slow, gooey movement of the liquid are fascinating, so babies around 0 years old are sure to be captivated! Give it a try.

Crafting fish with 100-yen shop magnets

[Easy Kids Craft] Flippity-Flopping with 100-Yen Store Magnets! Jumping Fish Craft! (Summer Project/Home Play)

Freshly caught and flopping! Here’s an idea for a fish craft you can make using magnets from a 100-yen shop.

It’s perfect for anyone wondering, “What kind of craft can I make with magnets?” All you need are construction paper, tape, a pen, scissors, and a magnetic sheet.

The video mainly features mackerel, but it looks like you can adapt it to other fish like flounder or filefish.

It’s such a unique idea that you’ll want to make it flop again and again!

sensory bottle

How to Make Simple Sensory Bottles — For Learning, Relaxation, and Color Therapy

A sensory bottle is not only an item that stimulates sight with the slow movement of glittering materials, but also something children can play with by moving the bottle with their hands.

Choose a container with a smooth surface, such as an empty lactic acid bacteria drink bottle.

Fill it with cooled boiled water and liquid laundry starch (or clear glue), then add fun elements that move—like glitter, small beads, or rings—and it’s done! It’s fun to make many with different colors and themes.

To prevent leaks, secure the cap firmly with glue and tape.

Magnet UFO

I tried making a UFO that moves in a strange way using magnetic force! (Learn while playing—recommended for 3rd and 4th graders) #magnets #crafts #homemadetoy

Unpredictable! Irregular motion is fascinating! Here’s an idea for a magnetic unidentified flying object.

What comes to mind when you hear “UFO”? Some people might imagine round lights or being taken away in a bright beam.

The charm of this UFO is its irregular movement.

Let’s make a toy with addictive, unique motion by taking advantage of magnets’ properties! If there’s any chance a child might swallow a magnet, make sure a parent or teacher is always supervising nearby.
