Aquabeads
Aquabeads are easy and fun: just place the small beads on a tray and stick them together with water.
Kids can focus on their own, creating all kinds of shapes and colors at their own pace.
Using their fingertips improves fine motor skills, and thinking about what design to make really expands their imagination.
Plus, there’s no glue or ironing, so cleanup is quick and easy! It’s also great because kids can feel a sense of accomplishment by completing projects on their own.
Once they get used to it, they can even make 3D creations—give it a try!
Mini violin made of clay

There are many kinds of musical instruments with different shapes, and those differences heighten our expectations about what kinds of sounds they can produce.
Focusing on the shapes of instruments, this activity has you use paper clay to make a violin shape.
A real violin has a unique form made by combining pieces of wood, so let’s carefully reproduce the details, such as the indented areas.
Once the overall shape is refined, paint it and attach separate parts like the strings to finish it as a realistic-looking violin.

Let’s make a cute bee keychain.
First, stick double-sided tape all over a chenille stem and shape it into a rectangle.
Wrap a yellow chenille stem around it, then wrap a brown one to create the stripes.
Make wings from a clear file sheet, attach them to the body with the brown chenille stem, and add eyes.
Finally, attach the keychain hardware and you’re done! With a bit of creativity, you can make all kinds of insects and animals, so try making your own original keychains.
Handmade Happy Noodles
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7317570138859900162Looks just like the real thing! Let’s handcraft some happy noodles.
Flatten a cotton ball made from yellow embroidery thread to form a lump of noodles.
Also, wrap another embroidery thread around chopsticks and soak it in water mixed with liquid starch.
Once it dries and you remove it, it will turn into curly noodles, so make some of those too.
Use a small paper cup as the container and attach a package label you designed with a design app.
Put in the noodles and a packet of toppings, then stick on the lid to finish! You might even be able to use it as a keychain if you add some parts.
Cute beaded candy craft
@n.annlee321 Please do it with cute beads ☺️💓#tiktok classroomLife with childrenSummer Vacation Craft#StayHomeTime
♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey
Let’s make cute candies using your favorite beads! Cut the soft case into your preferred shape, fold it in half, then use a hair iron to apply heat and seal the edges to make a little pouch.
Fill it with beads and seal the opening.
Stick masking tape on both ends of the candy, trim it with a zigzag cut, and you’re done.
Try using different beads to create various kinds of candies.
If you make the bag for holding the candies the same way, it’ll look extra cute and really stand out.

Everyone loves it! Let’s make a pudding charm inspired by that beloved treat.
For the base, use a clear cup for sweets deco from a 100-yen shop.
Mix brown paint into glue to mimic caramel and spread it on the bottom of the case, then pack in yellow yarn.
Draw the package design on thick paper, cut it into a circle, and attach it to the case.
Punch a hole and thread through charm hardware to finish.
You can also substitute brown yarn for the caramel section.
