A cute-looking strawberry roll cake squishy that’s perfect for a school science project.

Start by making the roll cake, then decorate it adorably with pink silicone whip! Experiment with color choices that make it look real and explore differences in texture as your theme.

It’s not only cute to look at, but also super squishy and soothing to the touch.

To make it even cuter, try adding strawberries, cookies, and pink pearls.

Displaying photos or the actual piece will surely convey the fun to anyone who sees it.

Kaleidoscope in an ice cup

[Elementary School Summer Crafts / Independent Research] 🌻 Kaleidoscope with Ice Cream Cups

A kaleidoscope where you can enjoy geometric, mysterious pattern changes.

Let’s make such a kaleidoscope using an ice cream cup.

First, use nail polish remover to erase the letters and designs from two ice cream cup lids.

Next, cut aluminum foil to your preferred length, fold it three times to make a long, narrow rectangle, then cut it into shorter pieces, roll each into a tube, and secure with tape.

Make many small tubes and pack them tightly into the ice cream cup without gaps.

Then put on a lid and sprinkle beads or pieces of translucent origami paper cut into small shapes on top.

Finally, place the other lid on top and tape it in place to finish.

Point it toward the sunlight and spin it around to play.

Palm-sized ocean diorama

[Elementary School Grade 2 Summer Craft] All 100-Yen Shop Materials! Palm-Sized ♪ How to Make an Ocean Diorama

Let’s try making a diorama that captures a summer scene.

It’s palm-sized, so you won’t have trouble finding a place for it, and it’s easy to bring to school.

Prepare a container you like, apply glue to the bottom, and lay down paper clay.

Use sand, powdered pastels, and resin to create the beach and the sea.

Add stones and moss, place parts made from paper clay, and you’re done.

You can depict any landscape you like, so try making it while recalling the fun things you did during summer vacation.

Mordor

Seria’s fluffy chenille stems [How to Make a Mold Doll] Fuzzy chenille bear

This guide shows you how to make soft, cute dolls using pipe cleaners with fluffy fibers attached.

Even though they’re fuzzy, the core is still a pipe cleaner, so you can freely change the shape by bending and twisting to add curves.

Once you shape it like a framework, combine other pipe cleaners there to complete the overall base.

While deciding what pose the doll will take, adjust the angles, then assemble the small parts to create its expression as well.

ball

A round and cute ball made by weaving paper – DIY How to Make a Paper Ball / Paper Weaving

Here’s an idea for making a ball out of paper.

First, prepare six strips of paper, each 1 cm by 20 cm.

Connect one of the strips into a loop.

Next, layer the remaining five strips one by one to form a star shape.

If you overlap them so that the center forms a pentagon, you’ll get a neat star.

Once layered, temporarily clip the ends of the strips upright, then pass the loop you made earlier through them.

At this point, only thread the strips that were on the bottom during the layering.

Swap the top and bottom positions of the overlapped strips, connect strips of the same color, and you’re done!

Flower Hand-cranked Spinning Top

A hand-spun top that you spin with your palm ☺️✨Summer Vacation Craft#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Let’s make a hand-spun top that you spin vigorously with your hand, designed with a cute, flower-inspired look.

We’ll use a disposable chopstick as the top’s axle, and wrap long, folded strips of paper around it to form the shape of the top.

Everyone should clearly imagine their favorite flower and think about which colors of paper will best match that flower.

Wrapping the paper tightly is the key to making the whole piece sturdy and ensuring it spins well.
