Handmade crafts for children 9 years old - interesting master classes with paper and clay

At this age, it is already more difficult to impose on the child his ideas for performance, but give advice and watch the result of his activities. Observe the activity and enjoy the progress.

Origami

Most interesting technique of folding paper. Creating a lot of folds can make a lot of interesting handicrafts. We recommend to start with the simplest crane. The scheme can easily be found on the Internet.

Before making cranes, it is important to know that a little Japanese girl, Sasaki, was in the hospital making these very cranes. She firmly believed that after making 1,000 of them, the disease would leave her. There was not enough strength for a large number, but her family came to the rescue. Unfortunately, even together, their strength was not enough and the girl did not have time to make cranes and died...

People still make cranes and remember the Japanese girl.

Plasticine crafts

For children aged nine years - this is the easiest task. But copying handicrafts from others is really easy. And include their own imagination, creativity and talent is much harder. This is the problem, give your child a goal, but do not tell him how to do it right. Even better to do at the same time, he makes his craft, and you do your own. This excites the spirit of competition, and in the end the child will make a great plasticine handicraft.

It happens that the clay is already stuck together and it is impossible to separate it into pieces of the same color. In such cases, collect mixed clay and sculpt a volcano, this color is ideal for the installation.

Idea for a craft.

How do applications develop a child?

Applique - it's a very exciting activity for children. It is always interesting to cut out different figures from paper or fabric, and then combine them and be amazed at the results. You can do applications from any age, but at nine years old the child is able to show all his feelings and thoughts in the crafts. This activity promotes the strongest development of the child, his fine motor skills and memory. Use different shapes of paper, lots of different colors, especially the colors with which the child is not familiar. With paper products can develop spatial thinking. Enough to build a bird, it stands, sits, flies, lies, eats, and so on.

Pay maximum attention to the child's safety. Prepare the workplace, use a protective covering for the table and place all the necessary material nearby. Teach your child how to use scissors, glue, pencils and brushes before you start making applications.

Remember that already at nine years old a child is capable of making and fantasizing on his own. Do not distract him with your ideas for a craft, but push him tactically. If you saved his early crafts or photos from kindergarten - then compare the results and show them to your child. He will certainly be happy when he realizes his great success in this case. Such a move will give him further strength and even more motivation to create.
