Yes, you can absolutely use your own small toys in a home toy crane machine! Many home versions are designed to be customizable, allowing you to load them with your favorite figurines, plush toys, or other lightweight items. This adds a personal touch and makes the game more engaging for kids and adults alike. To get started, ensure your toys are the right size—typically small enough to fit in the claw's grasp without being too heavy. Most home crane machines have adjustable settings for the claw strength, so you can tweak it to match your toys' weight. It's a fun way to repurpose old toys and create endless entertainment at home. Just remember to avoid overly large or heavy items to prevent damage to the machine. With a bit of setup, your DIY crane machine can become the highlight of any playroom or party!
