Crafts from improvised means for children and adults

We are surrounded by many interesting things. It would seem that the simplest things, which we unhesitatingly throw out, can serve as an excellent basis for crafts from improvised means. If there is a desire, imagination and creative vein, it is worth taking a closer look at the surrounding things. Suddenly something like that?

Crafts from improvised tools have a huge development potential for classes with children. This kind of activity will allow the kids to develop their imagination, creative thinking. During the lesson, the child's pens and fingers will actively work, which, in turn, will have a beneficial effect on thinking and developing speech. In addition, children's handicrafts from improvised means - an excellent opportunity for preschool children (and older kids too) to please my mother, father or grandmother with grandfather's gift for the holiday.

So, what can be useful for creating crafts from improvised funds with your own hands? Almost everything! Cotton pads, plastic bags, cork, old CDs, plastic bottles, fallen leaves.

Very generously endows us with nature. So why not take advantage of this? For example, children easily make with the help of parents such a simple panel.

For this:

1. We go to the park and collect autumnal foliage.
2. We take a sheet of cardboard, draw a contour of an owl on it, cut it out.
3. We paste the resulting figure with collected natural material, starting from the bottom. Do this in such a way that the leaves overlap each other, creating an effect of feathering.
4. It remains only to glue the eyes, beak and paws. As the latter, you can also use leaves of bright red or crimson color. And you can do everything from colored paper. For the eyes, we cut out four mugs: two large yellow and two small black ones. First we glue the yellow circles, and on them we already place the black pupils. Beak and paws are cut out of red paper.

In this way you can make not only an owl, but absolutely any animal: a cow, a horse, a bunny, a fish. For example, this:

Of course, like the guys cheerful penguins. And all you need: two plastic bottles, glue, paint and a little imagination.

1. Two plastic bottles are cut to half. We need only the bottom.
2. The lower parts are glued together.
3. We got the body of the future penguin, which now needs to be painted white.
4. Next, we transform this workpiece with the help of colorful colors and our imagination: we paint a black tuxedo, leaving a white breast and a muzzle, we designate the eyes and nose, we supply the inhabitant of Antarctica with a hat and a scarf, so as not to freeze.

By the way, some crafts from improvised tools can bring tangible practical benefits. You can, for example, build an unusual bag. You need to cut strong plastic bags into strips for this, connect them together to get a long thread. Next we need a hook, with which you can tie a beach bag or a shopping bag. For example, here is this:

Or this:

As you can see, crafts from improvised tools can bring a lot of joy to both children and adults. Just need to connect your imagination, so that everyday objects get a second life.
