♬ Upbeat, fun and bright rock’n’roll(1368783) – $PHIN35

This activity focuses on the popular Tabe-ggo Dobutsu characters—well-loved as snacks, too—and recreates them using round stickers.

Even though the stickers vary in color and size, designing with the same round stickers creates a cohesive overall look.

Since each part isn’t made only of circles, think carefully about how to cut the circles to form the desired shapes.

You can aim to complete this design itself, and it’s also recommended to use the pieces as decorations.

Tabletop clay accessories

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Small clay mascots that can sit on a tabletop test your attention to detail precisely because you’re aiming for a compact, easy-to-display size.

While you’re free to create whatever you like, it’s fun to build a unique world with things that don’t exist in reality—like a pig popping out of a flowerpot or a sheep blooming like a flower.

Paying close attention to details such as the pig’s and sheep’s coats to craft them finely adds realism, which in turn makes the finished piece’s strangeness stand out even more.

Using clays in a variety of colors for a colorful finish is a key point that enhances the joy of both the making process and the display.

Made entirely with origami! Triangular accessory case

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Make it using only origami! Here’s an idea for a triangular trinket box.

It’s perfect for kids who are good at crafting with origami or for anyone who wants to use the origami paper they have at home to make something.

How about creating a little container to hold small items or parts? All you need to prepare are three sheets of origami paper.

Solid-colored paper works fine, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami can change the vibe and make it more fun!

straw wrapper

Let's make a straw wrapper and paper whistle!

Kids will be thrilled to work on making sound-producing instruments.

Here’s how to make a trumpet using a straw and construction paper.

Prepare a half-circle of construction paper about 25 to 30 centimeters across.

Roll the paper into a cone shape.

Cut both sides of the tip of the straw to create a pointed edge, then insert that pointed tip into the cut end of the paper cone.

Secure the construction paper and the straw with cellophane tape, and you’re done.

When playing, pinch the tip of the straw flat and blow.

It’s a simple craft, but it can produce a unique sound.

Paper Cup UFO Catcher

How to make a UFO catcher with paper cups? Crafting tips from a nursery teacher (for 5-year-olds)

The “Paper Cup UFO Catcher” is a popular DIY recreation idea you can enjoy with elementary school kids.

Cut eight slits into a paper cup to make tentacle-like arms, then insert a straw through the center to move it.

Place another paper cup over the top and move it up and down—this opens and closes the arms.

The moment it grabs the target is super exciting! It’s easy to make with everyday materials, yet the movement feels authentic and makes it really fun to play.

Figuring out the controls is part of the charm, and it gets even more exciting when friends compete.

It’s a recommended activity that combines the joy of crafting with the sense of achievement from a game.
