Fun crafts using straws

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

We’ve put together a collection of craft ideas using straws that are perfect for elementary school kids.

In crafts, straws often seem to play a supporting role, don’t they?

But in fact, by taking advantage of their round, slender shape, you can make just about anything— from everyday toys to stylish, cute items—depending on your ideas.

For elementary schoolers, straw crafts are sure to shine as summer vacation homework, and they’re also great for everyday parent-child fun!

Take this opportunity to enjoy making crafts with straws!
