[With Cardboard] Bag Making

Craft time with a kindergarten teacher! How to make a bag [At-home play support ■ Craft series]

Let’s make a tote bag for pretend play using thin cardboard.

First, fold the gusset sections.

Adjust the width of the gusset to match what you’ll put inside.

If you want to add patterns, draw them at this stage.

After drawing the patterns, cut slits into the gusset parts and tape them together.

Once it’s taped and box-shaped, attach handles with ribbon.

Consider the ribbon length based on how you plan to play.

If you make it longer, it can be a shoulder bag.

Spinning Drive

[Super Easy] A DIY toy you can make with a kitchen paper roll core!

“Kurukuru Drive” is a toy that lets you use a paper towel roll as a road and drive a car along it.

It’s an irresistible idea for kids who love vehicles! First, sketch a road on the paper towel core.

Don’t forget to draw a start and a finish.

Once the drawing is done, color it in.

It’s even better if you add things like traffic lights and houses—it makes it feel more like real driving.

Finally, draw a car on a piece of plastic (vinyl) sized to fit the road’s width, color it, and wrap it around the paper towel core—that’s it! Line it up at the starting point and spin it to drive toward the goal!

How to Make Easy Castanets by Simply Cutting a Milk Carton

These castanets produce a delightfully light sound that you wouldn’t believe comes from a milk carton and plastic bottle caps.

You’ll need a milk carton, scissors, double-sided tape, and colored tape.

First, prepare one panel of the milk carton.

Cut off the spout, then cut the panel in half horizontally.

Attach a cap to the center of each piece using double-sided tape.

Finally, fasten the ends of the milk carton pieces together with colored tape, and you’re done.

When you pull the ends against each other, they make a fun clicking sound—enjoy playing your simple, homemade castanets with everyone!
