Pop-It-a Kawaii Avocado
Make a kawaii avocado Pop-It fidget toy using foam sheets, buttons, and paint; practice cutting, gluing, and simple decorating skills.
Step-by-step guide to make a Pop-It Kawaii Avocado
Step 1
Gather all the materials on a clean table so everything is ready to use.
Step 2
Draw a large avocado shape on the scrap paper to make a template.
Step 3
Cut out the paper avocado template carefully with scissors.
Step 4
Place the paper template on a green foam sheet and trace around it with the pencil.
Step 5
Cut out the avocado shape from the green foam following your pencil line.
Step 6
Trace a small circle on the other colored foam to make the pit and cut it out.
Step 7
Arrange the small round buttons on the avocado foam where you want the Pop-It bubbles to be.
Step 8
Put a small dab of craft glue on the back of each button.
Step 9
Press each glued button onto the avocado foam where you arranged them and hold each for a few seconds.
Step 10
Put a thin line of glue on the back of the foam pit circle.
Step 11
Press the foam pit circle into the center of the avocado and hold it until it feels secure.
Step 12
Paint two round eyes and a curved smile on the avocado with black paint to make a kawaii face.
Step 13
Paint small pink blush circles under the eyes for an extra cute look.
Step 14
Let your avocado dry completely so the glue and paint are set.
Step 15
Share your finished kawaii avocado Pop-It on DIY.org.

Help!?
What can we use instead of the green foam sheet or the small round buttons for the Pop-It bubbles?
If you don't have a green foam sheet, use green construction paper, felt, or cardboard covered with green craft paper for the avocado shape, and replace the small round buttons used for the Pop-It bubbles with flat wooden beads, large sequins, or adhesive foam dots.
Why are the buttons not sticking to the avocado foam and how can I fix it?
If the buttons won't stick after step 8, try a stronger tacky craft glue or hot glue (with adult supervision), press each button firmly for 10–15 seconds as you did in step 8, and let the project dry flat as directed in step 14 so the bond sets.
How can I adapt this Pop-It avocado activity for a 3-year-old versus a 10-year-old?
For a 3‑year‑old, have an adult do steps 2–6 and use pre‑glued adhesive foam dots for step 7 while they press bubbles and paint simple eyes in step 11, but for a 10‑year‑old let them trace and cut the template themselves, arrange more buttons in step 6, and experiment with real silicone poppers or detailed kawaii painting.
How can we personalize or improve the finished avocado before sharing on DIY.org?
To personalize or improve durability before sharing on DIY.org, glue a small magnet or keychain loop to the back after step 14, add a thin coat of clear craft sealer over the painted face from step 11, or swap the foam pit from step 9 for a removable felt pocket.
