[For Kids] Craft Ideas Using Bread Bag Closures

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Do you know what a bag closure is?

It’s actually the name of the little fastener used to seal bread bags—something everyone has seen.

Bag closures are often repurposed to bundle name tags or cords, but they’re also used as materials for children’s independent research projects and educational toys.

So this time, we’re introducing craft ideas that use bag closures.

From art pieces and playable games to wearable accessories, we’ve got a wealth of unique and amusing ideas that will make you say, “You can make that, too?”

Everything can be made with familiar, easily found materials, so be sure to try making them with your kids!

[For Kids] Craft Ideas Using Bag Closures (11–20)

educational toy

This is an educational toy made from bag closures that little children can’t help but get absorbed in.

Just attach a few rubber bands to an empty box and hang bag closures with round stickers on them! Choose about three colors for the round stickers and make the same number of pieces for each color.

At first, mix the colors, and then have your child sort them by color as they hook them on.

Not only is it a fun activity using familiar materials, but it also helps develop your child’s fine motor skills and stimulates their brain, so why not give it a try?
