Well-Flying Archery

[Playable Craft] So Easy! A High-Flying Bow and Arrow/Archery: How to Make It ② (Toilet Paper Roll, Straw, Rubber Bands, Tissues) [Easy Crafts, Recycled Play, At-Home Play, Indoor Play, Handmade Toy]

Here are some craft ideas for making an archery set using scrap materials.

First, make a slightly larger hole in one spot on a toilet paper roll.

Make the same hole on the opposite side, then cut small slits at the top and bottom and hook a rubber band onto them.

Twist the rubber band once so it forms an X shape.

That completes the bow.

For the arrow, use a straw and a ball made from rolled-up tissue.

Cut one end of the straw into a V shape, then attach the ball—rolled and secured with masking tape—to the other end.

With the arrow finished, thread it onto the bow and try shooting it for fun.

Kaleidoscope in an ice cup

[Elementary School Summer Crafts / Independent Research] 🌻 Kaleidoscope with Ice Cream Cups

A kaleidoscope where you can enjoy geometric, mysterious pattern changes.

Let’s make such a kaleidoscope using an ice cream cup.

First, use nail polish remover to erase the letters and designs from two ice cream cup lids.

Next, cut aluminum foil to your preferred length, fold it three times to make a long, narrow rectangle, then cut it into shorter pieces, roll each into a tube, and secure with tape.

Make many small tubes and pack them tightly into the ice cream cup without gaps.

Then put on a lid and sprinkle beads or pieces of translucent origami paper cut into small shapes on top.

Finally, place the other lid on top and tape it in place to finish.

Point it toward the sunlight and spin it around to play.

Warm, gentle light is beautiful! Here are some candle art ideas.

Candle art refers to candles shaped from wax in various colors and forms.

One of its charms is that you can finish them in any style you like, with diverse shapes, colors, and designs.

This time, let’s try candle art with a summer motif.

A large seashell adorned with small shells and pearls gives an elegant impression.

The ocean-like blue wax adds a more mysterious feel—a wonderful idea.

I tried making a Super Ball.

[Free Craft] Recommended for Elementary School Kids!! A Metallic Super Ball You’ll Want to Make for Your Independent Research Project!!

Super balls are attractive for their colorful appearance and exceptional bounciness.

Because they absorb impact and rebound strongly, many of you probably remember bouncing them high when you were kids.

How about making your own super ball by hand? This time, we’ll use a store-bought kit, so there’s no need to gather materials individually—you can easily make one by following the included instructions.

Since the process involves using hot water and fine metallic powder, be sure to work together with an adult.

Create a one-of-a-kind original ball and have fun playing with it over summer vacation!

A truly usable cooler made from cardboard

[Experiment] I tried making a truly usable cooler out of cardboard!

Here’s a DIY cooler idea using cardboard, plastic bottles, a battery pack, and a motor.

First, cut three circular holes in the side of the cardboard box, each the same size as the bottom of a plastic bottle.

Insert and secure plastic bottles cut to one-third length into the holes, using the bottle neck ends.

On the inside of the cardboard, attach a propeller to the side opposite the bottles, and make small holes on both sides.

Mount the motor’s switch on the lid, place ice packs inside, and close the box to finish.

Decorate as you like with vinyl tape or similar materials.

Let’s make rock candy

[Independent Research] Why Does Rock Candy Form? ~With Summary~ [Experiment Time]

Let’s try making sparkling, magic-like rock candy for a science project.

Prepare granulated sugar, water, sticks, wooden chopsticks, glass cups, liquid food coloring, and a pot.

Put the granulated sugar and water into the pot and simmer until it boils.

Wet the tip of the stick with sugar water and coat it with granulated sugar.

Pour sugar water and your favorite color of liquid food coloring into a glass cup, then sandwich the stick between a pair of chopsticks and set it so the stick doesn’t touch the bottom of the glass.

Cover with plastic wrap and leave it for 3 days to 1 week while observing.

Take photos and keep records to track any changes you see.

Umbrella sun catcher

[Easy with 100-yen items] The umbrella sun catcher is unbelievably beautiful! #shorts

Let me introduce a soothing umbrella sun catcher that even adults will want to make.

Gather aurora cut cloth, a plush stand, needle-nose pliers, beads, glue, and double-sided tape, then let’s get started.

Draw eight circles on the aurora cut cloth and cut them out.

Fold each circle in half twice and secure it with double-sided tape.

Make the remaining circle pieces the same way.

Use double-sided tape to attach all eight pieces together to form an umbrella shape.

Thread beads onto a plush stand that has been cut in half using needle-nose pliers, then attach it to the center of the umbrella as the handle—and you’re done.
