Let's make toys with paper cups! Simple and fun handmade toys

Spinning Face-Changing Paper Cup Toy

Let’s play by spinning paper cups! Here’s a fun paper cup toy where the face changes as you turn it.

You’ll need two paper cups, a craft knife or scissors, and colored pens.

First, draw Anpanman’s full body on one cup.

The key is to cut out the face area! Next, stack the cups and draw various expressions—like a smiley face or a surprised face—on the inner cup.

Finally, spin the stacked cups, and you’re done! It would also be fun to make versions with Anpanman’s friends.

This time, I’m introducing how to make the “Original Light from a Paper Cup 💡” that we’ll create in the workshop on November 16 ✨ The picture you draw will glow in the dark 😳! Since Christmas is coming, I drew a tree! Depending on age, just coloring and adding stickers is enough—the pen colors and sticker shadows glow and look so cute 🩷 This time I drew on a clear file, but drawing directly on plastic wrap is also OK 🙆‍♀️◎ (Use a transparent clear file.) Using a clear file makes it easier to draw than on plastic wrap, and the finished piece is less likely to break!

Let’s make an exciting item using a paper cup! First, cut a piece of a clear file (plastic folder) to match the size of the paper cup’s rim.

Use a permanent marker to draw any picture you like.

Next, cut out the bottom of the paper cup and decorate the sides with stickers, etc.

Finally, place the drawing you made on the rim side of the paper cup, cover it with plastic wrap from above, and secure it with a rubber band—that’s it! If you shine a light through the hole where you cut out the bottom and aim it at a wall, your picture will be projected on the wall.

It looks perfect for Halloween or Christmas too.

Try playing with it in a dark room!

How to make a croaking frog

[Preschool Teacher] Make and Play Right Away! How to Make a Croaking Frog ✨ [Daycare & Kindergarten]

This is a cute craft where a frog hidden inside a paper cup peeks out while croaking.

You make a hole in the bottom of the cup and insert a bendy straw; by using this straw, you can move the frog up and down.

The key is the bendable part of the straw—when it rubs against the hole in the paper cup, it makes a sound like a frog’s croak.

You can add originality by choosing the frog’s expression and decorating the paper cup however you like.

Handmade maracas

Handmade maracas! You can easily make an instrument with paper cups and straws♪

This craft is inspired by maracas made with paper cups that produce a cheerful rattling sound when lightly shaken.

The steps are simple: put beads or finely cut pieces of straw into a paper cup, then cover it with another paper cup as a lid.

What you put inside is important—consider how different fillings change the sound as you make it.

Decorating the outside is also a key point; aim for fun decorations that match the light, lively sound of the maracas.

“Wankoppu,” which sounds like a dog’s bark

Real!? A cup that makes a sound like a dog barking: 'Wancup' #crafts #handmadeToys #easyCrafts

This is a craft project: a dog mascot made from a paper cup that emits a sound like a real dog when you pull a chopstick attached to its tail.

The key is how to attach the pipe cleaner tail.

Attach a clip to the end of the pipe cleaner, thread it through a hole made in the paper cup, and secure it so that impacts resonate through the cup.

Once this part is complete, decorate the rest using a small paper cup, origami paper, and so on to create the dog’s appearance.

Then, by pinching the pipe cleaner in the gap between the chopsticks and pulling, the pipe cleaner’s vibrations are transmitted to the paper cup, producing a sound that resembles a dog’s bark.
