chain drop

[Handmade Toys] [Daycare, Kindergarten] I tried making three types of toys you can play with using chains.
chain drop

Let’s make a toy called a “chain dropper” using a milk powder can! It’s very easy to make.

Attach the parts of Anpanman’s face to the lid of the can, then cut out the mouth area with a utility knife.

After that, secure the lid with tape so it won’t come off, and just put the chain inside! Little kids love putting things into small holes like this—and they love pulling them out, too! It’s a simple toy, but it’s a classic favorite among children.

Give it a try!

Decorating tambourines is fun

Let's Play with the Rhythm of Handmade Instruments! Plate Tambourine
Decorating tambourines is fun

Here are some fun ideas for decorating tambourines.

You’ll need two paper plates, straws, scissors, tape, a pen, and masking tape.

Put the cut pieces of straw between the paper plates, press them together, and seal the edges with tape and masking tape—that’s it! Use pens in your favorite colors to draw expressions on the tambourine.

It’s also fun to give the front and back different expressions, like a smiling face on one side and a sleeping face on the other.

The simple method makes it easy for kids to follow, which is part of its charm!

A ride-on bike made from milk cartons that little kids can actually sit on and play with! Just reinforce the milk cartons by stuffing them with newspaper, fix them into rectangular shapes, and assemble ten parts.

Attach felt to the bottom to prevent scratches, and use a plastic wrap core as the handle—this craft is full of clever ideas.

You can decorate it with colored tape or let your child freely add stickers—so cute! This easy-to-make ride-on is sure to be a big hit at preschools and kindergartens.

basket

[One Sheet of Drawing Paper] Small Item Basket - Easter [Easy Craft] Cute Project
basket

Why not try making a basket out of construction paper? First, make a loop from a strip of construction paper.

Then prepare eight strips that are half the length of the paper used for the loop.

Cross two strips to form a plus sign and attach their ends to the outside of the loop.

Cross another two strips and attach them to fill the gaps.

Attach the remaining four strips in the same way, but this time, attach them to the inside of the loop.

Prepare two long strips and weave them through the gaps between the papers attached to the loop, alternating over, under, over.

Finally, add a handle and you’re done!

Marble Drop

Marble Drop: A DIY Anpanman Plastic Bottle Toy That Even Babies Love!
Marble Drop

Why not try making a marble drop inspired by Anpanman? The base will be a plastic bottle.

First, cut it into three equal sections, then insert a piece of thick paper between the sections and reassemble them.

Punch marble-drop holes in the thick paper and decorate it to evoke Anpanman.

You could also make the thick paper look like Anpanman’s or Baikinman’s face.

Once you add the marbles, it’s complete.

Its cute appearance and the sound of the marbles dropping will captivate children.
