Crafts for the smallest - a selection of interesting photo ideas and master classes
All children love creativity. Today, we decided to tell parents how interesting it is possible to occupy your baby and at the same time, to contribute to its development. We will talk about crafts for babies. We collected tasks that are under force, even the smallest. Therefore, your baby will not just watch the process, and directly take part in it. And so, let's begin.
Crayons craft
To make a craft, take colored crayons, a dry glue stick, coloring books, or a self-drawn drawing. Choose a drawing for the craft, and spread glue on it, and then shred the crayons and let the kid himself, sprinkle it with different colors of crayons.
If a child makes a messy job, the crayons will stick only to parts of the drawing smeared with glue, and the extra can be removed by shaking the drawing.
Waxwork
Initially, Mom draws a drawing on a sheet of paper with wax (a candle or special crayons). Then we take the paint and offer the baby to draw. Parts of the wax, invisible to the eye, will remain uncolored and get a beautiful drawing on the background, which the child made.
Tear-Off Applique
You will need napkins or colored paper, a ready-made or handmade drawing and a glue stick. You need to shred the paper, with scissors or just tear it with your hands. If desired, this can be done in the process, together with the baby. Then apply glue to the drawing without exceeding the outlines. And then, invite your child to sprinkle it with different colors of shredded paper. The excess can be blown off or shaved off and you get a beautiful drawing.
Palms
When babies are still very tiny, do drawings with paints with your hands or fingers. Suggest that the baby put paint on the palm of his hand and then make an imprint on the paper. Then use your imagination and add a beak, eyes and feet. The result will be a bird. You can draw feet and a face on each finger, drawing all family members.
Following the same principle, draw with your fingers. Let the baby soak a finger in paint and put prints on a sheet of paper. And Mom tweaking the prints can make them into birds or animals and get a great drawing.
Applique from cut out palms
Baby puts his hand on a piece of colored paper and you trace it, and then cut it out. This will be the base of the applique. Mom completes the small details, and you can make a swan or a rooster bird. If you prefer, you can cut out palms from ordinary white sheets, color them, and then use them for applique.
Volumetric birds from napkins
Fold the napkin into a square and staple the resulting square in the center, using a stapler. Then we cut out a circle and fluff its layers. From colored paper we make blanks for different animals and proceed to applique. Initially, perform paper applique, and then glue her volumetric tummy or cheeks. Pomponchik of tissues, can be different sizes, depending on their purpose.
Applications of colored paper
First, we prepare all the blanks of colored paper. Then, lay them out and together with the baby and decide what we will do. And then smearing the blanks with glue, send them to the paper creating a drawing.
Geometric shapes.
Prepare a lot of different shapes of paper. And sweat, m gluing them on the paper, create a drawing with your child. This is not only a fun game, but also a way to explore different shapes and forms. You can make applications from one kind of figure or from several. Either way, the baby will be interested.
Hearts crafts
The essence is the same as with the figures. We make hearts and create a drawing from them. You can use pencils or felt-tip pens to finish drawing eyes and a mouth, etc.
Plasticine paintings
This is the same applique, but instead of paper, you should use plasticine. Make different parts of the drawing from plasticine and offer your child to place them on paper. Slightly pressing plasticine to the sheet, the drawing will stick to the paper and will not fall off.
Modelling with clay
With clay, you can make anything. And the kid will be an assistant. He can make balls or strips. This develops motor skills and at the same time entertains the baby.
Using knitting threads
You can cut a circle or an oval out of cardboard, make a hole in the center of the circle and wrap thread around it. Then, you should cut the thread from the outside and you have a three-dimensional body of the bird. Or just wrap the oval and glue the eyes, beak and nose. Do not forget to let the child wind the thread, he will love it.
Let's paint it.
Take a drawing with large detail elements and offer your child to paint them. In this case, prepare several brushes of different sizes, and this will help your child to cope with the task.
Homemade stamps
Initially, wind the yarn for knitting on a fork and pull it in the center. Then, cut around the edges and we have a pompon stamp. As a holder, a clothespin is perfect. After making the stamp, offer your baby to soak it in paint and put an imprint on the paper. Then, together with your little one, you can create a drawing with the stamps.
From cardboard, you can make your child stamps of different shapes and sizes. Then you can offer him or her, with your help, to create different drawings using them.
Applique from cotton disks
Fake, you can do from ordinary cotton disks. But if desired, you can pre-paint them with paint. They are drying quickly and made blanks before bedtime, in the morning, you can begin the creativity.
Making different soft animals of disks, you can complement them with eyes from colored paper or clay. To fix the disk on a sheet of paper, use glue. It is very fast and interesting. In addition, the applique turns out soft to the touch and kids love to touch it.
Autumn crafts on the pavement
Walking outside with your child in the fall, you can make a craft with him during the walk. On the pavement, lay out some animal from leaves, chestnuts, pebbles and sand. Believe me, this activity fascinates not only the kids, making the walk unforgettable, but also the parents.
