Target practice with an extendable sword

[Toy] Rolling paper made from posters! [Festival] – How to make –

Do you know rolling papers? They’re toy papers that are rolled up into a stick shape, and when you flick them forward, the curled paper shoots out and extends.

You can make one yourself using a poster.

Let’s use the popping force of a rolling paper to create a game where you knock down targets.

To make a rolling paper, just cut a poster into long, narrow strips, tape them together to make a long piece, and roll it tightly around a chopstick.

Rolling it a bit tightly will give you a cleaner finish.

Feel free to decorate the paper cups you’ll use as targets.

Try competing to see how many paper cups you can knock down by skillfully handling the rolling paper!

Target shooting

Handmade Toy: How to Make a Paper Cup Pop Gun

You can make a safe shooting game using a paper cup and a balloon.

First, cut out the bottom of the paper cup.

The teacher should prepare this in advance.

Next, attach a tied balloon to the bottom area.

Cut off the side of the balloon opposite the knot, then stretch it over the cup.

Secure the seam between the balloon and the cup well with tape.

After that, put a ping-pong ball into the cup and pull the balloon—pop! The ping-pong ball shoots out, and your shooting game is complete! Make various targets and enjoy the game.

[Yo-yo Fishing] Let’s try fishing for handmade yo-yos

[Summer Festival Craft] Easy Yo-Yo Fishing – Simple for Toddlers and Elementary School Kids! Make and Play: Kids’ Craft

Yo-yo fishing has long been a favorite game for children at summer festivals.

Because real yo-yos are heavy and hard to catch, let’s make lightweight yo-yos out of construction paper so kids can catch them more easily.

All you need to do is connect paper strips into rings, but this might be tricky for little hands.

In that case, let them do the decorating with round stickers and the like, so they can still feel a sense of accomplishment.

Make the pipe-cleaner loop attached to the yo-yo a bit larger.

Easy-to-catch yo-yos are sure to be a hit with the kids.

[Shooting Game] Safe Shooting with Paper Cups

Easy Shooting Game with Paper Cups! [Try Making It? Craft Edition]

Many adults probably felt excited by shooting gallery games, too.

Let’s make a safe version for kids using paper cups.

An adult should handle cutting out the bottom of a paper cup with a utility knife.

After trimming a second paper cup to make it shallow, cut a slit in its base and secure a rubber band by hooking it onto a stick.

Then stack the cups, pull the rubber band, and release—that’s it! Since the cups are paper, it won’t hurt much even if someone gets hit, but make sure you have plenty of space before playing.

In the Tanabata relay, where you work together to carry summer vegetables and race to the goal, the key is to match your pace with your friends and cheer each other on so you don’t drop the veggies.
