Summer Vacation Homework! Simple and Amazing Crafts for Elementary School Students That Make You Want to Create (231–240)
A box for doing hair styling
@n.annlee321 Perfect for practicing ribbon bows, braids, and using hair ties 🥰🎀#HandmadeToys#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIYParentingChildcareChildcareEducational#EducationalToysbraidRibbon bow

Why not make a hairstyling box using a large empty box, felt, and yarn? It’s a great craft for kids who love tying or braiding doll hair.
First, cut out parts like the face, eyes, and mouth from felt, and stick them onto the box lid.
As if making a pom-pom, wrap yarn around cardboard, tie it at one point, then cut the looped ends.
Punch holes in the top of the face area on the box, thread the tied yarn through, and attach the “hair” around the face.
Make the side sections and bangs separately.
Also, secure the side hair at the upper left and right sides of the face.
Finally, decorate as you like with ribbons and more, and you’re done! Use the yarn as hair and enjoy styling it.
whipped resin
@chat_ange A craft project for summer break that even lower-grade kids can make… Instead of shaker resin, it’s whip resin. I hope it catches on as a new term! I tried applying the trendy whip deco to a shaker resin piece. I haven’t seen this anywhere else, so maybe it’s a first?! 🤣 I’m thinking it might be easier than regular shaker resin—what do you think? It’s cute as is, but once the whip dries, it could be turned into a keychain too. I’ll upload a video when I make another one. If you still haven’t made your summer break project yet, I hope this helps as a reference! 😆Summer Vacation Craft#Summer vacation homeworkFree craftUse it freely for crafts.#WhippedResin#HowToMakeShakerResinShaker resinResin#ResinHandmade#ResinWork

We’ll show you how to make whipped resin that feels just like making sweets.
First, let’s create the base with resin.
Pour resin into a mold and cure it.
You can make the color however you like.
Once the base is ready, add the deco “whip,” then place decorative parts on top to embellish it.
When the whip hardens, it’s done! Using store-bought decorative parts is easy, but if you’d like to try making more with resin, take this opportunity to handcraft the parts as well.
Handmade croissant craft
@n.annlee321 Pretty hard to do in real life, huh? 🥹#ElementarySchoolMomSummer Vacation CraftParentingChildcareHandmade#100-yen shop DIY#100-yen-shop

Croissants, whose toasty aroma practically comes through just by looking at them, are a popular bread across generations.
Let’s recreate that delicious croissant appearance using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.
For the base, cut a puzzle mat into three different sizes, then glue them together while creating steps.
Once the base is complete, apply double-sided tape across the entire surface and wrap brown yarn around it to mimic the look of a croissant.
Since the layered dough and variations in browning are part of a croissant’s appeal, experiment with how you wrap the yarn and also use paint to reproduce these details effectively.
Rice made from yarn
@n.annlee321 What kind of rice do you like? 🙂#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys#AtHomePlay
Good music – neguse.
Let’s make a rice mascot that conveys warmth by making the most of yarn’s soft look.
The steps are to bundle yarn wound around a fork and then cut it; the key is shaping it so it ends up looking like rice.
Place it in a bowl or lunchbox-style container you made separately, and aim for an even more appetizing look with additional decorations.
Plain white rice can look too simple, so try mixing in other colors as you wind the yarn, or add side dishes you’ve crafted separately—both are great options.
Iced Deco Cup
https://www.tiktok.com/@mugimama_diy/video/7260428839011011847Let’s make an “icy deco cup” using interior stones and a cup sold at 100-yen shops.
All you need is your favorite cup, interior stones, a hot glue gun, and any decorative parts you like.
It’s really simple to make—just use the glue gun to attach the interior stones and parts to the cup! If you choose clear, colorless parts to match the interior stones, the whole thing will look like an ice glass.
You can use store-bought parts, or if you’re good with resin, you can make your own.
Easy Ice Bazooka
@picoton_craft A bazooka you can make with a balloon and a paper cup ✨✨ The “Takoyaki Bazooka” I made before was really popular, so I made an “ice cream version” 🍨 It’s a blast, so definitely give it a try 💕Life with children #HandmadeToysSimple craft #AtHomePlay
♬ summertime – cinnamons
Let’s make an Ice Bazooka that everyone can play with after making it! First, take a sheet of origami cut in half and draw your favorite ice cream on it.
Wrap it around a rolled piece of paper, grip it together, and secure it with tape.
That completes the bazooka ammo.
Next, cut out the bottom of a brown paper cup and draw a cone pattern on it.
Take a balloon with the tip of the part that inflates slightly trimmed, stretch it over the bottom of the paper cup, and tape it in place.
Finally, make a target using a paper cup and construction paper, and you’re done! Pull the balloon to launch your Ice Bazooka and aim for a high score!
Aroma Fragrance

If you’re looking for an easy, summery craft, I recommend making an aroma fragrance jar! Prepare a jar, gel ice packs, blue food coloring, essential oils, and decorations like marbles or seashells.
First, fill the jar about one-third full with the gel from the ice packs and add the food coloring to tint it.
Once the color is set, add more gel and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Finally, add the decorations and put the lid on—you’re done! Using blue food coloring with marbles or seashells makes it look like you’ve captured the sea inside the jar.
Try creating one with your favorite theme!
