Leaf Pinwheel

How to make a leaf pinwheel video

Let’s make toys using nature! Here’s an idea for a leaf pinwheel.

You’ll need four leaves, a wooden bead, a straw, and a bamboo skewer.

Pinwheels are often made with paper, but this idea is charming because it uses natural materials for the propeller.

Once you find four favorite leaves, try making the pinwheel! After threading a wooden bead onto the bamboo skewer, pierce four leaves that have been folded in half.

Then thread another wooden bead on top and insert the skewer into the straw.

Super Simple Chopstick Gun

Perfect for your summer project! A super easy-to-make chopstick rubber band gun!! #ChopstickGun #Crafts #IndependentResearch #EasyToMake #SummerProject #Lifehack

A simple chopstick gun you can make with disposable chopsticks and rubber bands! Many of you might have made and played with one this way when you were little.

Prepare three pairs of chopsticks and split each pair into single sticks.

Choose one stick to be the barrel, sandwich it with two sticks on the sides, and secure them with rubber bands.

Use cut pieces of chopstick to make the trigger and grip, then attach them to the part you assembled first.

Hook on a rubber band and do some test shots while adjusting the trigger angle, and you’ve got an easy-to-make chopstick gun!

Pinwheel piggy bank

[033] NEW Windmill Coin Bank – Tutorial Video Released! Drop in a coin and watch the windmill spin round and round!

Introducing a pinwheel piggy bank where the pinwheel inside spins when you insert a coin.

Prepare two milk cartons, a lid from a 6-piece cheese pack, a utility knife, a bamboo skewer, and a straw.

For the piggy bank base, make holes for the coin slot, a door, and the hole for the pinwheel’s bamboo skewer in one milk carton.

Next, for the blades, cut off the bottom third of the second milk carton with the utility knife to create the lower section.

Then cut off about the top third of the remaining carton, score folds on the four sides to make it easier to bend, and fold it.

Thread a bamboo skewer through and staple to secure—this completes the inner blades.

Insert the bamboo skewer through the base and fix the blades in place.

Cut the 6-piece cheese lid into a pinwheel shape, attach it to a straw, and secure it.

Your pinwheel piggy bank is complete!

cloth picture book

[Cloth Book] A complete, in-depth guide to making one and all interactive pages‼️ #clothbook #interactivepicturebook #pop-upbook

Why not try making a fabric picture book inspired by Anpanman? Fabric books are a staple toy for babies.

They often crinkle, include features that promote finger development, and pack in all kinds of clever ideas.

Let’s try making one by hand.

With your own ideas—like a buttoning activity using Anpanman’s face, peekaboo flaps or matching games with various characters—you can create a delightful fabric book.

If you’re not confident at sewing, using felt and glue to craft it like an art project is a great recommendation!
