How to make a ninja tool, the kusarigama—you can download the pattern from the website.

What weapons come to mind when you think of ninjas? Shuriken and kunai are classics, right? But don’t forget the kusarigama! It’s a concealed weapon shaped like a sickle connected to a chain with a weight.

Buying one is fine, but if you don’t want to spend much, making your own is recommended! With items like EVA foam (lion board), a water pipe, and craft paper, even beginners can make one—so give it a try.

Since you’ll use a hot glue gun during the process, children should work under adult supervision.

How to make a kunai

[For Ninjas] How to Make a Kunai – Kunai Tutorial

Let’s handcraft a classic ninja weapon: the kunai! First, cut out two blade pieces from craft paper.

After creasing them, use a hot glue gun to attach and secure them to a gardening stick that will serve as the handle.

Next, take a wooden ring from a 100-yen shop, cut a slit in it, and glue it on as the pommel.

Spray the blade and pommel black, then wrap the handle with thinly cut white faux leather—and you’re done.

It’s surprisingly easy, so give it a try.

Just holding a kunai will make you feel like a real ninja!

Deploy! Ninja Squad

Tottori Manabiya Nursery — Event [Sports Day Practice] Ages 0, 1, and 2

This is an obstacle course recommended for 2-year-olds, where children pretend to be ninjas and overcome obstacles.

Becoming a ninja helps motivate them, right? First, they jump off a vaulting box, then hang from a horizontal bar.

After that, they touch a sound-making shuriken shape to reach the goal.

It can also be fun to add more ninja-like activities depending on what you can set up at the time, such as crawling through a tunnel or under a net.

After this event, adding a ninja dance segment could create consistency and make the program even more appealing.

Ninja Game

These playful activities let children become ninjas and enjoy moving their bodies.

It’s great for building stamina and reflexes while moving swiftly like ninjas.

Pretending to be ninjas also sparks imagination, which is another plus.

It looks like a fun way to nurture concentration and flexibility through play!
