For summer vacation homework! Simple and amazing crafts for elementary school students that you’ll want to make after seeing them

phone case

[Smartphone Case] (Resin) When it comes to summer, it’s the sea! I tried designing a swappable beach and wave using UV resin. How to make sea-design phone cases with resin

These days, many elementary school kids have smartphones.

A great activity for them is a craft project where they make their own phone case.

You can buy a clear phone case at a 100-yen shop and use it as the base for decorations.

In summer, try seashells; in winter, snowflakes—seasonal themes work well, and using favorite characters is also recommended.

It’s a simple one-day craft, so it’s suitable even for lower grades.

Here, we’ll introduce a wind chime you can make using a plastic bottle.

All you need is one plastic bottle, some string, paper, and stickers.

Magic hand

[Kids Craft] For Elementary School Students! Let's Make a Magic Hand!

This is a craft project to make a “magic hand,” a tool for picking up objects that are a little out of reach.

The materials are chopsticks, rubber bands, plastic bottle caps, and double-sided tape.

The steps are simple: neatly bundle and combine the chopsticks, then attach plastic bottle caps to the tips to serve as the gripping parts.

It’s a safe project that doesn’t even require scissors, so it’s recommended for lower grades, though depending on how tightly you wind the rubber bands, it might require some strength.

water dome pen

[Easy DIY] How to Make a Water Dome Pen♡

Water domes are cute as ornaments, but here’s a version made into a pen.

Let’s create a lovely pen that’s adorable whether you use it or display it.

The contents of the water dome are actually things like liquid glue thinned with water or baby oil.

Put various small items inside and seal the cap.

Each time you write, the items move around and look very pretty.

This craft is suitable for upper elementary grades.

soccer game

Summer vacation craft project

Soccer games are popular even among kids! It’s fun twice over: you make it, then you play it.

You can build it using only items you can buy at a 100-yen shop, like a document tray with holes on the sides, clips, wooden sticks, and a small fish net.

For the players, stick drawings onto plastic sheets for the upper body and attach clips for the lower body.

Use a super ball as the ball.

Modify and attach the small fish net to make the goals.

You can finish it in a day, and with help from a guardian, even younger elementary school kids should be able to make it.

Handmade okonomiyaki craft

@n.annlee321

I already posted how to make okonomiyaki before. ☺️✨#HandmadeToysSummer Vacation CraftChildcare

♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome

Let’s try making okonomiyaki and yakisoba—just like the ones you see at summer festival stalls—using craft materials! Here, we mainly introduce how to make the griddle and spatula.

Feel free to create the okonomiyaki and yakisoba themselves using yarn, felt, and other materials.

For the griddle, cut 2 cm-wide strips from both long edges of a color foam board and attach silver origami paper to them.

Then cover the remaining center piece with black construction paper to form the griddle surface, and glue it between the cut side pieces.

Also attach 1 cm-wide strips of silver origami along the top and bottom edges of the griddle.

Draw in the vent openings, and it’s complete! For the spatula, cut a milk carton into a spatula shape and cover it with aluminum foil—that’s all you need!

Flower fidget spinner

A festive plum blossom hand spinner ☺️✨#2022#tiktok classroomLife with children#VideoYouCan'tHelpButWatch

♬ Relaxing cute everyday BGM – Hiraoka

How about making your own hand spinner that twirls between your fingers or on a desk, finished in a cute flower shape? Use two circles cut from cardboard for the finger pads, connect them with a toothpick to form the axle, and attach the spinning flower piece between them, leaving a slight gap as you assemble the axle.

The way it spins will change depending on the gap between your fingers and the rotating part, as well as the size of the hole the toothpick passes through, so try building it while experimenting with ways to make it spin longer.
