The kids are happy to come up with all sorts of fun, where the main character is Kapi, as his friends call him.
So today we’ll see how to make Kapitoshka at home. Let's start with the fact that you can come up with quite a lot of such toys. And the first one is probably familiar to everyone. Of course, mischievous boys like it more, but girls, I think, are not far behind them. All over the world this summer fun is known as water bombs, but in our country they are called capitoshki. This name has already become a household name. Do you remember? When you were a child, did you also throw them out of the window at people passing by? Of course, it’s better not to do this, but on a hot summer afternoon, kids can easily play “war”, throwing improvised “grenades” at the enemy. In this case, the question of how to make capitoshka at home does not seem difficult. All you need is balloons and water. The ball in this case will be a “vessel”. Fill it with liquid and tie the tail tightly. The “shell” is ready. For smaller children, you can come up with another toy - for the development of motor skills. However, many adults will also enjoy playing with it. And all because it is real and can take any form. We will get a real Kapitoshka. Just like in the cartoon: kind, friendly, always ready to help. So, how to make Kapitoshka from a ball and flour.
- Let's take it more tightly.
- We insert the funnel inside. If there is none, you can cut it plastic bottle and pull the tail of the ball onto the neck. Pour flour through this funnel.
- Pack the contents of the ball tightly. This can be done with a pen, pencil, or some kind of stick. The main thing is not to tear the ball itself.
- The size of our Kapitoshka may vary. It depends on the amount of flour.
- When the ball has become the size we need, let out excess air and tie the tail in a knot (without using threads). The excess part can be cut off if desired.
- The time has come to give our Kapitoshka a “face”. To do this, use a marker to draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You can glue “hairs” from wool threads.
- Here you go! ready.
Tips and variations on a theme
But this is not the last option on how to make Kapitoshka at home. This toy is still small in size. But if, for example, a teacher needs an “assistant” to teach a lesson, he must be such that all children can see him. How to make Kapitoshka like this? Very simple. The ball just needs to be inflated. Make eyes, a nose and a mouth out of colored paper, and arms, legs and a hat out of cardboard. So it turned out to be a cheerful drop, so loved by children.
Toy "Kapitoshka"
DIY from balloons
Many people remember toys that easily crumpled without losing their shape; they were the ancestors of anti-stress toys - funny, bright, with funny faces. You can make such “capitoshkas” with your own hands.
In order to make the “Kapitoshka” toy, you will need a regular balloon. It’s better not to save money here, but to buy a more durable ball, otherwise later all the “filling” of this toy will end up on the floor.
You can use one ball, but for greater strength it is better to take a pair at once, then insert one ball into the other.
Then you should insert a funnel into it. But since its neck is quite narrow, it will be inconvenient to work with it, so it is better to make the toy using a plastic bottle. To do this, cut off the bottom and pull the tail of the ball over the neck.
Next, the task is to fill the future toy with “stuffing”. To do this, you can use your choice of food flour, or sand, starch (“Kapitoshka” with starch also creaks like snow), talc. Here everything will depend only on your imagination and the age of the child, because if the balloon breaks and the child is still very small, he will definitely taste its contents.
When the ball is full, you need to tie its tail tightly, cutting off the excess if necessary.
When the face is ready, you can think about the Kapitoshka hairs. You can make them using woolen threads, New Year’s “rain”, ribbons, etc.
The “Kapitoshka” toy is ready!
“Kapitoshka” is an excellent simulator for the development of children's fine motor skills, and for adults it can be an excellent way to relieve stress.

Today I would like to invite you to make an anti-stress toy “Kapitoshka” from improvised materials. Anti-stress soft toys appeared not so long ago. In addition to bright colors and pleasant-to-touch fabric, they have another feature that distinguishes them from the plush friends of our childhood: filler. This is what makes anti-stress toys so magical. Inside the toy there are small polystyrene granules, the diameter of which is less than a millimeter. Rolling small balls in your hands will make you feel calm. A pleasant fabric will complement the relaxation effect. Typically, anti-stress toys are made from fairly elastic knitwear. Bright colors will complete the stress treatment process. Psychologists have long proven that rich colors can lift your spirits. Therefore, not only children, but also adults would like to play with this toy.
So today we will try to make Kapitoshka at home. But before you make Kapitoshka at home, think about who you are doing it for. Flour - good filler if he plays small child. And even if the balloon breaks and the baby tastes the filler, nothing bad will happen. You can also use starch, then your craft will look pretty appearance, will take any shape and also “crunch”. If you want to make an anti-stress toy for yourself, you can use sand, talc, rice, millet. So, how to make Kapitoshka from a ball and starch?
Work progress:
1. Take a balloon. Better tighter.
2.Insert the funnel inside. If there is none, you can cut a plastic bottle and pull the tail of the ball onto the neck. Pour flour through this funnel.
3. Pack the contents of the ball tightly. This can be done with a pen, pencil, or some kind of stick. The main thing is not to tear the ball itself. Thus, we do it until the very end, until the ball is completely filled with starch. You need to fill it tightly enough so that there is absolutely no empty space left.
4.The size of our Kapitoshka may vary. It depends on the amount of flour.
5.When the ball has become the size we need, release excess air and remove the ball from the funnel, tying the tail with a strong knot (if desired, the elastic band can be cut off with scissors).
6. It’s time to give our Kapitoshka a “face”, let’s start decorating. There are an incredible variety of options for their decorations. To do this, you can draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth with a marker. Or, using glue, you can glue running eyes, a scarf, a veil, bows to the ball, or make hair from threads and New Year's rain and tie it to the knot of the toy. The main thing in this matter is your imagination.
Here you go! The homemade anti-stress toy is ready. And now let's try to come up with a fairy tale together.

1. We will make a capitoshka from a balloon, the color is orange.
2. The ball must be stretched. We stretch it with our hands in different directions.
3. Another option is to simply inflate and then deflate.
4. Next, take a funnel and pull the ball on top. It fits tightly to the neck.
5. Pour in flour. Take a pencil and push the flour down the ball.
6. When the ball becomes tight, tie a knot.
7. Cut off the extra piece of the ball.
8. Now let's start decorating the toy. Take the knitting yarn and wrap it around two fingers.
9. We do the winding by eye. The more threads, the more magnificent the pompom will be.
10. Cut a piece of thread from the yarn. Tie a knot in the middle of the winding.
11. Trim the edges using scissors.
12. We tie it to the knot on the ball. Cut off the excess thread.
13. Draw a face.
14. Now we give the capitoshka different shapes. It can be stretched, narrowed, turned into a flat cake.
This toy will amuse not only your baby, but also an adult. For example, now many people earn extra money as copywriters - they write articles and reviews. When you write a lot, your fingers hurt, so the capitoshka will help relieve some of the tension from your fingers. This toy is an excellent inexpensive anti-stress, it’s always nice to hold something in your hands, crush it and shape it.
You can make several of these toys and give them to friends.
Every parent wants their child to get maximum joy and pleasure from their toys. And even more so, if the child himself participated in the process of creating the toy, then, of course, it will be very dear and desirable for the child.
And the time that will be spent with the child on making such a thing with your own hands will bring adults and children closer together; the child will not be capricious once again, but will listen to the comments and advice of adults.
One of these toys that is easy to make with your child’s own hands is the “capitoshka” toy.
To make a capitoshka, just buy a balloon. From all the variety of choices, we buy at a higher price; such a ball itself will be of higher quality and stronger. To make the capitoshka secure, you can use two balls, placing one inside the other.
Next, a kitchen funnel is inserted inside the ball. Although you can use a plastic bottle for these purposes, since a kitchen funnel is not particularly convenient to use due to its narrow neck.
In the case of using a plastic bottle, we cut the bottom, and then use the neck of the bottle, pulling the ball over it.
It is necessary to fill the capitoshka toy; the composition used for filling can be different, from flour to sand. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the age of the child, because it is clear that if the capitoshka toy breaks, the child will definitely want to taste the contents of the capitoshka.
The amount of content that will be used to fill it depends on the intended size of the future capitoshka toy. It is also necessary to compact this content very carefully when filling the toy with your own hands.
After the work is completed, we tie the ball, and at our discretion either leave the excess “tail” or cut it off.
When the ball is filled, we carry out the final work, which consists of decorating the finished product. To do this, use felt-tip pens or colored paper. If you don’t want to do all this, just choose a balloon with a smiley face drawn on it in the store.
We will also take care of creating the hairstyle for the future toy capitoshka. It can be successfully made from woolen threads, with a little imagination and the hairstyle will be the most unusual. The result is a capitoshka toy that delights children and lifts the spirits of adults.
But this is not the only way to create a “capitoshka” toy. In addition to balls, you can also use burlap, sewing the result into a funny buddy for your baby.

In this article you will learn how to make an anti-stress capitoshka toy at home. We also suggest reading the article about what types
It is quite easy to make from materials that are easy to find in any store. We need some balls standard size and any color, as well as the material you want to put in the balls. If you want the toy to be similar to those in the store, then you will need to find a suitable case for it, or make one.
How to make an anti-stress toy (kapitoshka) at home:
- Take the balls. They should be the same size, shape and not inflated. If you have already inflated balloons, then it is better to take those that you have never used.
- Select filler. The filler comes in different types; for a standard size toy we need about two 170-230 ml. (yes, not a gram) of filler. You can use flour, soda, corn starch, if you want the anti-stress toy to be loose, then use lentils, beans, sand or rice. If you want a medium-density toy, then mix, for example, rice and mousse or rice and sand.
- Check if the ball is elastic, if not, then inflate it, and then knead it in an inflated form, but do not overdo it. It may burst. Most likely, for this task you will need a friend who will help, together you can make the anti-stress toy more fun and convenient.
- Filling. Take a funnel, if there is one; if not, then cut it out of any bottle with a standard neck. Fill the ball with filler. The main thing is not to break the neck, otherwise you will have to do everything again. If the litter gets stuck, use a pen or pencil to push it through.
- Release the air from the balloon, try to release all the air and pinch the neck of the balloon as close to the filler as possible. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise you will get rid of the filler along with the air. Then, cut off the rest of the neck and put another ball on top, and then another. Then tie the ball and cut off the remaining neck of the ball.
You can use any filler: hard, solid, dense, maybe even liquid, it all depends on what effect you want to achieve. If you want the toy to be in a case, like in a store, then you can use, for example, a stocking for this purpose.
