3D glasses

Make simple 3D glasses using paper cups and colored cellophane

You can easily make 3D glasses that make objects pop out using paper cups—even elementary school kids can do it! Cut off the bottoms of two paper cups and attach colored cellophane over the openings.

Make one hole in each cup, thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through, and connect the two cups.

Then make another hole on the opposite side of each cup and attach pipe cleaners to create the arms of the glasses.

And you’re done!

Fluffy Paper Cup Ghost

[For Nursery Teachers] How to Make Fluffy Little Ghosts 👻 [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

When you blow into it, a ghost appears! This is a fluffy ghost craft made with a paper cup and a plastic bag.

Decorate the paper cup with stickers or markers and make a hole in one spot.

Insert a straw through the hole so that the tip of the straw sticks out from inside the cup.

Next, draw a ghost face on a plastic bag and attach the bag to the tip of the straw so that no air can escape.

Pull the straw outward as far as it will go, tuck the plastic bag into the paper cup, and you’re done! Each time you blow through the straw, the ghost pops out all fluffy, and the kids are sure to love it.

juice dispenser

[I’m curious how it works…!] DIY Juice Server that Delights Kids #short

Here’s a juice dispenser idea that makes snack time more fun.

First, prepare a plastic bottle and a paper cup.

With the plastic bottle placed inside the paper cup, make a hole and insert a straw there.

Next, pinch the straw while pouring juice into the plastic bottle, then put the cap on, and it’s done.

In this state, no juice comes out, but if you twist the cap, the juice will flow.

It’s fun to make, and it could also be interesting to think about why the juice doesn’t come out until you twist the cap.

Paper Cup Catch Ball

[Higashimurayama City] Simple Craft: How to Make a Catch Ball Machine

Here’s a DIY idea to make a simple catch-and-throw ball machine like the ones you often see outdoors.

You’ll need a paper cup, a balloon, and a paper plate.

Cut out the bottom of the paper cup with a utility knife, then cut the top off the balloon and stretch it over the bottom of the cup, securing it firmly with clear tape.

Tie the balloon’s mouth so that the knot sits as close to the center as possible.

Cut the paper plate to remove one-quarter of the circle along with the center, then make radial slits on the inner edge and attach it to the rim side of the paper cup.

You can play with it as is, but it looks cute if you draw on it or decorate it with colored paper.

It’s a fun item you can use both indoors and outdoors.
