Craft from waste material Forest of Wonders. Traffic Laws. Pompoms from cupcake wrappers

What can become material for crafts from waste material with your own hands? What crafts would be interesting for children to make? What can you give as a gift to your grandmother or give to your cute little neighbor? What crafts will become your favorite toys? We show and tell.

DIY crafts from waste materials: cardboard wonders

Let's start with crafts made from the most popular waste material for DIY crafts - cardboard. Sheets of cardboard and boxes that remain after unpacking sofas and refrigerators have big size, which means the crafts made from them will be quite large-scale.

The cardboard holds its shape well, it is convenient for children to work with it, since small flaws are not decisive. Crafts made from this waste material are cool toys that will stay in the nursery for a long time, and besides, they are free.

Little car owners

Make cardboard vehicles of all kinds for little car enthusiasts- trucks, convertibles, mopeds. Let the children choose the brand themselves. Let the kids, to the best of their ability, participate in the manufacture of cardboard machines - coloring, gluing, and in some places cutting the cardboard is just up to them. By the way, it is more convenient to cut cardboard not with scissors, but with a knife or cutter.

Build traffic lights, a car wash, a gas station, arrange road signs and provide your child with a steering wheel that will spin - there will be no limit to the happiness of little explorers. Draw your license and issue it after passing the exam. At the same time, it will be possible to simulate situations on a real road and learn the rules traffic.

Lots of cardboard, and no mortgage

Be sure to make a fairly spacious cardboard house for your children. The more windows, hatches, doors and doors there are in the house, the more interesting it will be.

Children, of course, must paint and furnish the house themselves. If you still have wallpaper after renovation, you can make a toy house that is very similar to the real one. The children will be delighted!

House from Cardboard Dad

If you don't have a large enough box, limit yourself to a dollhouse or car garage made from a cardboard box. Help the children make smaller crafts with their own hands from waste material - miniature doll furniture, access to the upper floors of the garage, etc.

Crafts puzzles

A cardboard base and several cardboard strips glued onto it make interesting puzzles. The height of the sides and the width of the passages must correspond to the size of the ball, there are no other restrictions. When children master the simplest puzzles, they will be able to put together other, more complex ones themselves, so you can prepare several basics at once.

Moving crafts

Make a cardboard theater and act out your favorite fairy tale. Make a cardboard aquarium - the fish can be swapped and generally replaced with others, depending on your mood.

Build a hanging composition with a marine theme. This DIY scrap craft is super easy and great for helping kids fall asleep. Looking at the steamer swaying in the summer breeze and at the seagulls cutting through the air, they will peacefully sail away to the land of dreams.

DIY crafts from waste material: stamps and stencils

Stamps are a big childhood love. Use objects with an interesting texture as stamps; make stamps from cardboards from toilet paper, cut them out of erasers or bottle caps... And find a way to distract the children in time, otherwise all objects in the house that have not become drawing surfaces will become stamps.

Another craft idea is to use stencils. It will allow you to “draw” more complex shapes, than using stamps and will attract children's attention to the world of plants.

If aerosol paint is not at hand, use gouache or watercolor and old toothbrushes (this, by the way, is much safer). Dip your toothbrush into the paint and brush it over it. thumb. Try to direct the splashes of paint onto the contours of the leaves. This way you can create entire compositions.

Games with stencils

For adults, stencils are a reason to talk to children about plants and flowers. You can arrange a game: “print” different plants on cards, and then guess them and learn to name them correctly.

If a participant in the game does not immediately cope with the task, give him hints: for mint it could be the smell (close your eyes and smell), for raspberries - the taste of the berry, for nettles - information that it burns, etc.

DIY crafts from waste materials: girly treasures

For girls, you can make a lot of crafts and decorations with your own hands from waste materials.

Material number one is buttons. Rings and bracelets made of buttons, button pins, a caterpillar made of buttons, a bag embroidered with buttons... By the way, learn how to sew buttons perfectly, because many modern children cope with this as poorly as with laces.

My dear friends, hello! Always your Tatyana Sukhikh welcomes you to the pages of her pedagogical blog. Autumn has arrived, and with it comes the desire to crawl under a blanket and drink a cup of tea. But let’s drive away such lazy intentions, and it’s better to make crafts with your own hands from waste material - and the melancholy will immediately go away. When your hands and head are busy with creativity, other thoughts scatter, believe me.

Have you ever noticed this peculiarity of storing strange but cute little things like caps, corks, bottles, strings and similar rubbish? If so, then you will definitely find in this article an idea on how to turn something unnecessary into a cute craft or even a more serious household item. I decided to break the text into subheadings based on the type of trash that most often collects in our homes.

I’ll give you some advice right away: the best tool for connecting parts together is a hot glue gun. If you buy a household one for creativity, it will be inexpensive, and it will be useful for different situations on the farm.

Another point: be sure to invite the children to create together. The value of your general activities for development, emotional well-being, psychological health is priceless. Time spent with children is more valuable than any good toy. And, by the way, fun games made by yourself often become children’s favorites for a long time.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the authors of the photographs of amazing crafts, which delighted me so much that I had to “steal” the ideas. But that’s why we expose the products of our creativity or other professional developments to a wide network so that everyone can benefit, isn’t it?

Ideas for transforming plastic containers

Not to say that mountains are just piling up plastic bottles, but we often leave it so that we have something to pour something into, right? What can be useful from them? To be honest, I don’t particularly like plastic compositions in the flowerbeds of our cities, it’s somehow primitive. But there are things that will satisfy the artistic needs of almost everyone. Special attention I will focus on crafts that will be useful and interesting to the children.

So, masterpieces made of plastic:

• Magic dragon: here you need to show your imagination and stock up on a large number of different containers and their lids. The dragon consists of several cut transparent bottles inserted into each other and secured with twine. The head and tail are held at the ends of the string, this is necessary so that the body wriggles without the parts falling off. As you can see in the photo, the head and tail are made of opaque containers, but this is a matter of imagination.

We place any “waste” of different colors inside the bottles.

If you want, to develop motor skills, you can provide the opportunity to “feed” the dragon small objects, to do this, you need to fasten the cut bottles so that the neck of the end towards the head ends up in the “mouth” of the dragon.

Or you can make a simpler fish like this:

• Charming inhabitants of a home zoo from opaque containers: it’s simply a miracle how much imagination people can have to see animals in containers of household chemicals. Just a few additional details, a couple of touches - and we have before us a strange bird or an unearthly creature.

• I was so inspired by the following idea that I immediately went looking for a tool! A vase for fruit or anything is an artistic thing, you will agree.

How to make this miracle happen? Take a large 5-liter eggplant and cut off the top and neck. Holding it by the bottom and slowly rotating it around an axis above the candle, we achieve melting of the edge of the bottle. We are giving an artistic form to the future vase; it would be nice to bend the edges of the bottle inward, which even when melted can be very sharp. Then, using a hot knitting needle or a burning tool, we make many holes in the workpiece.

• Boxes made from bottoms: in my opinion, this is also an extremely unusual craft. We cut off the bottoms of the bottles. Each box requires 2 blanks. We select a snake lock along the circumference of the bottom, glue it first to one half of the box, then to the other.

What else is lying under your feet: making beauty from natural materials

Somehow I became interested in plastic, but it’s for children kindergarten There is nothing better in handmade art than natural materials. Now there is freedom for this activity; there are so many wonderful “exhibits” right under your feet. By the way, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the methodological literature on this topic:

• "Crafts from natural material: applique from burlap and birch bark, crafts from wasteland grasses"– an excellent book on how to create paintings without a sketch from living, warm material;
• “Master Samodelkin. Crafts from cones and acorns: 8 colorful model cards with methodological recommendations» – instructions are presented in an accessible and clear manner on how to make a fish step by step, New Year's toys– Christmas tree, Santa Claus, garland, etc.;
• “Crafts made from natural materials. Notebook for children 5-9 years old"– also a kind of instruction in pictures for joint creative activities with adults.

So, what unusual, non-trivial can be made from twigs, fruits, herbs growing around us:

• Unlike plastic in the interior, which I don’t really like, I love things made from natural materials. And what’s interesting is that not everyone is able to discern a future masterpiece in a twig or leaf found on a plot. Praise be to those who know how to see this! How could I “pass by” such a highly artistic napkin holder? Here, of course, you can’t do it with just a glue gun.

I think you need to drill holes in the base according to the diameter of the branches, which were previously sanded and covered with stain. Then you can put them on glue. Beauty is impossible, but requires caution: the branches are thin and brittle.

• With kids, be sure to make a set of dishes from acorn hats, because there is nothing complicated: plasticine and hats. An excellent attribute for role-playing games!
• Does it happen that at school a child was asked to do a craft for the autumn holiday, and he remembered about it at 11 pm the day before? Listen, I found a witty solution, however, we need the appropriate products: let’s make a lamb from cauliflower! As you can see in the photo, you need to cut off the lush inflorescence so that it stands steadily. The champignon muzzle is simply charming!

A couple more ideas for nature lovers...

• I got so carried away by the search unusual ideas for crafts that I found a real work of art: compositions made from old wood. You can’t do without a saw, of course, but the effort is worth it. I don’t know about you, but I’m simply fascinated by this wooden miniature. And, most importantly, the material is really junk! Please note: the “trees” are probably made of walnut and peach pits.

• Can you imagine, of course, what value fantasy has for the development of children? manual labor. Use everything you find in the forest, garden, or just in the yard. Look what the pieces of twigs turn into! By the way, making such miracles is not so difficult: for candlesticks or vases we take a base - unnecessary glass glasses, jars, and artistically cover them with fragments of twigs.

And we make the ball like this: we cover the inflatable ball with twigs, but we try not to stick them to the ball. When the glue has hardened, we deflate the ball and take it out, leaving a hollow sphere made of pieces of wood.

Bark, leaves, pebbles, nuts, twine and other things make amazing dolls if you use your imagination. By the way, children, as they say, can turn out masterpieces one, two, three times, if you free up their imagination and do not interfere with their creative impulse.

Unnecessary paper is also used!

I don’t know how it happened, but in articles about development fine motor skills I seem to have forgotten to tell you about a wonderful activity that strengthens children’s fingers - making crafts from crumpled paper. Such crafts are good because you can crumple up anything: newspapers, colored paper, corrugated paper, toilet paper, napkins... The technology is simple: if the material is soft and thin, like corrugated paper, napkins, then we make paintings, bas-reliefs from many small lumps. Thicker paper will be used to make three-dimensional figures from 1-2 large and small parts. You can simply crumple the paper, then smooth it with your hands and cut out the details of the picture.

To more deeply understand the essence of this method of making crafts, I advise you to read the book "Crafts made from crumpled paper" – interesting technology Making three-dimensional products from crumpled paper will allow you to develop your fingers and creativity.

From my experience I will say that creativity from crumpled paper is more popular with the youngest and middle group kindergarten. Older children are already striving more for the ideal, and it seems to them that crumpled paper looks sloppy... Although if you make such flowers, then who will find them sloppy?

Crafts from everything!

I don’t know if I can stop, I found so many great ideas! It’s time to organize a master class for colleagues or parents. For example, you can easily sew a kitten from work gloves with just a few stitches. On long winter evenings you will have something to do with the kids, right?

A separate article should be written about crafts made from plastic bottle caps and wine bottle caps.

Corks are a fertile material, it is already ready base for crafts. It is easy to work with, it is glued with PVA glue, you can simply stick the parts into the cork, you can paint it with gouache, and cut it. How many things craftsmen make for everyday life! From Christmas decorations to the furniture!

Bottle caps should not be thrown away either - they are an excellent tool for creating attributes for the development of fine motor skills and sensory sensations. I have written more than one article about this, and I will not repeat it.

The simplest thing is to decorate the lids in the form of faces of different animals. The eyes are sold in craft stores; a glue gun will firmly secure the remaining parts.

And for the benefit of the whole family, I advise you to make a sensory mat that will heal the entire body during hygiene procedures in the bathroom. You need to glue the caps onto the rubber mat. Voila!

Plastic Kinder eggs also make interesting toys. For example, if you cover them with decor for easter eggs, we will receive New Year's toys, garlands, and beads.

What can we say about chickens, minions, piglets and other “living creatures” - “Kinders” serve as an excellent basis for creative explorations! They can be covered with paper, or with cotton wool, to get such wonderful bunnies. Craftswomen tie them with crocheted threads and create a different sight!

And from the onset of the flu period, be sure to give your child a preventive pendant at kindergarten: we place peeled and slightly crushed garlic inside the testicle, hang the testicle on a ribbon and around the child’s neck. Garlic esters will disperse viruses around the baby.

What do you think of the children's massager? A simple but useful device that will allow babies to stretch their back, shoulders, and neck. I am sure that it is not difficult to make, the main thing is to understand how to intertwine the twine and “kinders” together.

And in the end I will tell…

Have I sparked your inspiration? I hope so. I would also like to hear from you ideas for creativity that have amazed you. I’ll stop for now, but not for long, I need to work and develop. I am waiting for new subscribers in our company, and also please like my article.

Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!

DIY crafts made from waste materials - nothing will go to waste for a thrifty owner

Crafts made from waste materials are not only original, but also economical home decorations. There is no point in spending extra money on materials when you can make extraordinary things from recycled materials that are thrown away.

You can safely involve children in the process of making crafts to develop their fantasy and imagination.

More recently, a new direction has appeared in modern creativity called artdump. Verbatim from in English"dump" is translated as "garbage". Many artists, sculptors and other craftsmen work on creating works from recycled materials.

The new-fangled trend is spreading for another reason: it protects the environment. Tons of garbage, instead of going to landfills and poisoning the atmosphere, are used to create accessories.

What materials can be useful for creating unique trinkets? The most commonly used inorganic household waste is:

1. Paper – old magazines and newspapers, cardboard and products made from it.
2. Plastic – plastic bottles, cocktail straws, caps, disposable tableware.
3. Metal - tin cans, aluminum caps from beer or carbonated drinks.
4. Scraps of fabric.
5. Glass – cracked glasses, glasses or unwanted bottles.
6. Old CDs.
7. Burnt out light bulbs.

Interesting! Functions in the West a large number of recycling plants. In our country, similar enterprises are also gradually beginning to be created.

DIY crafts made from plastic

Products made of plastic can decorate your home, garden, cottage, vegetable garden and playground.

An excellent material for showing your imagination is plastic plates. Masquerade masks can be made from such recycled materials. To do this, you need to cut out holes for the eyes and paint them to match the appearance of the animal you want to depict. It could be a tiger, a cat, a lion, ladybug and other animals. Additional items(ears, mane) are cut out from plates and glued. Don't forget about the string or elastic band.

Appliques can decorate any room. You can make anything on a plate: voluminous flowers, paper figures, animals cut out of felt. Here the flight of fantasy can be endless. You can make an interesting composition: glue a bird and felt eggs to a plate and decorate a nest of feathers and twigs around them.

A common material from which many crafts are made is the bottom of a plastic bottle. From it you can make:

1. Plastic lampshade. Neatly cut bottoms of the same color or different shades glued together to form a ball. An original lampshade comes out of it.
2. Applications made of plastic. The bottoms of bottles make beautiful flowers. By gluing such material to cardboard and decorating it, you can make an interesting decoration for your home. You can find photos showing similar applications.
3. Funny pig. The whole bottle will be a decoration and a toy for children. It is painted pink and ears, legs and a tail cut out of plastic are glued on.

Products made from plastic bottles, forks and spoons can be varied, you just have to show your imagination.

Crafts from old CDs

Various shiny crafts are made from discs. Unnecessary disks will be an excellent material for creating original crafts and accessories.

If you have old CDs lying around at home, you shouldn’t throw them away, but rather make interesting crafts:

• Candlestick. A disk is taken as the base, and decorative balls are glued along the edge using superglue. When one layer is completely completed, the next one is glued onto it. The best option– 4 layers of balls.

• Christmas decorations. To prepare beautiful toys For the Christmas tree, you need to purchase transparent decorations. Cut the disk into small parts and then glue it onto the toy. When it is filled with mosaics, you need to carefully unscrew the top fastening and place golden brocade fabric inside. You can make a lot of these toys, they will look great on the Christmas tree.
• Frame for mirror or photographs. To do this, you need to cut a lot of small parts from CDs. Then a regular flat frame is covered with mosaic.

• Coasters for cups. In this case, disks with interesting image You can leave them in their original form, and decorate the usual ones. To do this, take a piece of fabric, from which 2 identical parts are cut out around the disk. The CD is covered on both sides with double-sided tape, to which fabric parts are then attached.

Idea! You can come up with a variety of compositions from CDs, for example, window decorations, animal figurines, chandeliers, bracelets. Australian Sean Avery decorates his yard and home with whimsical animals made from pieces of disks.

Cardboard crafts for children

Various boxes of shoes, candy and household appliances are thrown away every day.

An ordinary cardboard box can be turned into a toy for children. You just need to show a little patience and give freedom to your imagination.

You can watch a master class on making a TV. To make the process even more interesting, it is worth involving the child in it and preparing the following materials:

• medium cardboard box;
• cellophane or cling film;
• scissors;
• scotch;
• drawing paper;
• markers and pencils.

The top flaps of the box need to be cut off, and then turned upside down. Draw a rectangle on the side surface and cut it out. The hole is sealed with cellophane or cling film. The TV screen is ready. You can make a remote control from the leftovers. The homemade TV is ready, all that remains is to paint it.

For television “programs” you need to make puppets. To do this take:

• cardboard or thick paper;
• scissors;
• felt-tip pens or pencils;

Cut off one side of the box. Cover the inside with light blue or dark blue paper, and the bottom with yellow paper. Glue shells and algae made from plasticine to the bottom using superglue. Draw fish and other sea creatures on paper, color and cut them out. Then strings are attached to the figures and glued with tape. You can string beads onto threads and attach them in the same way. The colorful aquarium is ready.

You can make many interesting items for children from cardboard boxes: doll beds, household appliances, airplanes, houses, cars.

Attention! Homemade toys are in some ways much better than ready-made ones, because they develop the child’s imagination and imagination.

Children's crafts from waste material

Children must be involved in the process of making toys or crafts from household waste. So, the baby will learn to be careful about surrounding objects and will develop his imagination. Interesting gizmos can be useful in kindergarten, school activities or to participate in a competition on the topic “Ecology”.

Swimming turtle. It’s easy to make such a toy, and the child can take a bath with it in the bath. Materials you will need:

• flat wide sponge;
• plastic bottle (0.5 l);
• buttons;
• paper;
• strong threads and needle;
• marker.

The bottom of the bottle will serve as a shell, which must be carefully cut off. Then it must be attached to the sheet and circled with a marker. The legs and head of the future turtle are added to the resulting template. You need to cut out a template of the animal along the contour, then apply it to the sponge and cut it out. Place the bottom of the bottle on the base of the turtle and attach it with a thread, stitching it with a needle through a sponge. The threads wrapped around the shell on top are connected with a small piece of thread and decorated with a button.

Hare. This craft, made of fabric, will please any child. The following materials will be useful:

• a piece of sleeve from a children's jacket;
• scissors;
• cotton wool or synthetic winterizer;
• threads

The bottom corner of the fabric must be folded in such a way as to create a pointed top. It is cut into 2 parts - these will be bunny ears, which need to be tied with thread. Then the top is stuffed with cotton wool (sintepon), forming a head, and again tied with thread. Next, take a thread or thin ribbon and tie the fabric crosswise, forming the paws of the animal. The thread (ribbon) is tied in a bow at the back. The cute bunny is ready.

Creating a variety of crafts from waste materials helps realize serious educational objectives because the process is exciting creative activity Favorable conditions are created to stimulate the full development of a preschooler in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. Design classes stimulate curiosity, the development of imaginative and spatial thinking, activate fantasy and imagination, awaken initiative and independence, as well as interest in invention and creativity. The teacher faces the most important task - to create the necessary conditions to involve the child in most interesting view activities that reveal potential abilities.

Goals of learning to create crafts from waste material in kindergarten, specific tasks and techniques

Waste construction is a productive activity based on creative modeling using a wide range of non-traditional materials, giving a second life to the world of things that are usually thrown away.

The main goals of designing from waste material are the development of children's creative, intellectual and artistic abilities, as well as environmental education.

By making a variety of crafts (toys, furniture, vehicles), children learn to find unexpected uses for specific waste materials: plastic bottles and plates, containers for kinder surprises, lids, corks, computer disks, packing boxes, candy wrappers, polystyrene foam, foam rubber, etc.

By making a variety of crafts, children learn to find unexpected uses for specific waste materials.

In the process of children constructing crafts from waste materials, teachers strive to achieve the following tasks:

• Three to four years:
  • introduce children to the interesting possibilities of unusual materials (foam rubber, polystyrene foam, plastic bottles, etc.);
  • learn to use plasticine, glue, wire, threads, etc. to connect parts and pieces;
  • develop fine motor skills.
• Four to five years:
  • develop cognitive and research activities;
  • teach techniques for making simple crafts from waste material, complementing the image of the toy with parts made from plasticine, colored paper or natural material (berries, leaves, shells, acorns, etc.).
• Five - seven years:
  • teach children to coordinate their actions in the process of collective work;
  • introduce techniques for making crafts of complex designs;
  • learn to add artistic expressiveness to an image by inventing decorative details and decorations;
  • develop creative abilities;
  • cultivate a caring attitude towards nature.

By creating original crafts from waste materials, children develop creative thinking.

Techniques for teaching design from waste material are traditionally built on an imitative basis and have their own characteristics at different stages:

1. Stage one - detailed analysis of a sample of the future product:
   • V younger group a craft made in advance by the teacher is used as a sample;
   • in the middle group, children can be asked to look at a picture or drawn image;
   • at the age of six, children are already able to analyze a diagram or model of a toy; children’s analytical activity includes identifying the main parts of the toy and the material from which it is made, discussing clarifying questions, for example:
     • what materials for crafts can still be considered;
     • what options for fastening parts will be optimal;
     • what additional techniques can be used to design details, for example, modeling from plasticine, drawing with felt-tip pens, pencils, paints or applique elements.
2. Stage two - children are taught to plan and think about step-by-step progress towards a goal, and are taught a holistic perception of the entire work process. It is specified in what sequence the parts are made, from what material, and which tool will be preferable. Choice pedagogical techniques carried out taking into account the age of the children:
   • in younger groups, the teacher demonstrates in detail all the stages of constructing a craft, accompanying it with clear and detailed comments;
   • in the middle group, the teacher gradually reduces the process of full demonstration and detailed explanation, involving active work with diagrams and supporting plans in the form of schematic sketches drawn by the children themselves.
3. Stage three - a method for fastening parts and parts of the structure is being thought out:
   • in the middle group, plasticine is used as a connecting material;
   • older children use glue, thread, wire, etc.
4. Stage four provides for children to independently select required material and tools for work.
5. Stage five - children independently cope with the entire process of making crafts from the emergence of a mental prototype of a toy to its substantive implementation creative idea. At this stage, it is important to encourage the manifestation of creative imagination and the child’s desire for independence in the process of practical implementation.
6. Stage six - summing up, analysis and evaluation finished products. It is important to find positive aspects in the work of each child, support and inspire. An excellent technique at this stage would be an exciting role-playing or theatrical game using toys made by children, this will help them feel the significance of their work.

Older preschoolers can independently cope with the process of preparing parts

Time plan for the lesson. Materials for the introductory stage

A lesson in kindergarten has its own logical structure:

1. The organizational stage is a motivating beginning in game form(up to five minutes).
2. The main stage (from 10 minutes in the junior group to 25 minutes in the preparatory group) is the most active practical part of the lesson, which includes:
   • showing a sample, teacher explaining step-by-step instructions;
   • independent work of children according to a model, scheme or creative concept; children can work individually, in pairs or as part of a small subgroup;
   • physical education, outdoor games, finger or breathing exercises which will help you relax and then return to your exciting activity design.
3. The final, final stage (up to five minutes) - reflection, cleaning workplaces, organizing an exhibition of children's works. The analysis is carried out taking into account the following criteria:
   • neat and attractive appearance crafts;
   • technical skills;
   • degree of independence of the work done;
   • determination, discipline, hard work and a sense of camaraderie and emotional responsiveness shown while working on the composition.

It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way.

How to start a lesson correctly

It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way. A bright, intriguing beginning will help to form a positive attitude towards the lesson and the teacher, create a favorable emotional mood, liberate the children and awaken the desire to experiment and create.

• To activate the cognitive interest, search activity and attention of his little pupils, the teacher in the introductory part of the lesson usually uses rich and varied motivating material in combination with pedagogical techniques: a surprise moment - the introduction of a toy character, a loved one, into dialogue with children fairy tale hero
• , who will ask for help, puzzle and delight, and invite children on an exciting journey to a fairyland.
• poems and riddles;
• reading a fragment of a work of fiction;
• didactic and outdoor games;
• educational conversation;
• problematic situation;

music, viewing pictures, showing presentations, videos or animated films.

Table: example of a note on designing a “Miracle Tree” from waste material, Learn to make “miracle trees” from waste material, develop the ability to supplement crafts with details to give it greater expressiveness, and develop a sustainable interest in creative activities. Materials Plasticine in black, brown and green colors, caps from felt-tip pens, cocktail tubes and matches, napkins, disposable cups or kinder surprises, a model of a magical city, oilcloth. Organizational part Hello guys! Today we have not a simple lesson, but a magical one. The Cork Man from the magical city came to visit us. He's very upset. Let's first get acquainted with the magical city.
Children approach the model of the city and examine it.
Educator: Look carefully, what a wonderful city. Who can tell what the houses in this wonderful city are built of? (milk cartons, matchboxes).
Look at the wonderful paths here. What do you think they are made of? (cardboard and matches).
The cork man says that they have wonderful houses, very cozy and beautiful, they have a car, but most importantly, their city lacks greenery, there are no trees at all. That's why our little man is so upset. He asks us for help.
The cork man tells children riddles about trees.
1.What kind of tree is there - there is no wind, but the leaf is trembling? (aspen)
2. She put on a white sundress,
Curls curled.
How good she is.
Like a soul maiden! (birch)
3. One color in winter and summer! (pine or spruce) Main part Let's help the Little Man and make trees for the magical city.
Stages of work:
Plasticine lump
I'll mash it inside the pot.
I'll take an old pencil
I'll stick it in the center of the pot.
And then I'll roll a ball,
Smooth and green
I'll put it on a pencil -
The ball will become a crown.
Instead of leaves, tubes.
1. Fill containers with brown or black plasticine.
2. Insert a felt-tip pen cap into the middle of the pot - a tree trunk.
3. Roll a ball out of green plasticine.
4. Place the ball on the top of the barrel cap.
5. Take cocktail straws or matches and fill the crown ball, starting from the very top, sticking the straws or matches into the plasticine.
6. We decorate our magical city with our Miracle Trees.
The cork man walks around the city and enjoys the trees.
Physical education minute.
They raised their hands and shook them - these are trees in the forest.
Elbows bent, hands shaken - the wind knocks down the dew.
We wave our hands smoothly - the birds are flying towards us.
We'll show you how they sit down - their wings are folded back. Final part Educator: Let's look at our city and say again what we have in our magical city. (houses, paths, fence, cars, hedgehogs, trees). Who are the main characters in our city? (Cork man and sponge men). What are we all made of? (matchboxes, milk cartons, bottle caps, matches, cocktail straws, plasticine, felt-tip pen caps, kinders). Well done! What can we call all this material? (waste material).
Well done! You and I have worked hard. They created a magical city and decorated it with miracle trees. This suggests that you and I are little wizards, because we created such a miracle with our own hands.

Constructive creativity stimulates the process of active cognition of the world around us, and, in addition, contributes to the comprehensive development of children's abilities. Creating original crafts is an effective tool for developing inventive interests. Artistic creation from waste material helps develop imagination, creative imagination, and lay the foundations ecological culture and careful use of natural resources. .

Do you want to make some kind of craft, but don’t want to buy expensive materials? Do you want to give old things a second life? Learn to make crafts from waste materials. Our article will help you with this.

What is waste material?

Waste material gives wide scope for imagination. The most important thing is that it is always at hand! In order to make crafts from waste materials, you don’t have to go to the store or wander through the forest. Everything you need can be easily found in the pantry, garage, and even in the trash!

Old newspapers, cardboard boxes, egg containers, plastic bottles, juice and milk cartons, metal cans and lids - all this will come in handy to make children's crafts from waste materials, as well as products that will be useful to you yourself. Work with unusual materials It will not only develop imagination, but also teach you to see new sides of ordinary things.

Crafts from disks

Probably every home has a stack of unnecessary CDs that no one has used for a long time. Discs can be an excellent material for creating many interesting things.

Heat the disk a little over the fire, bend it like a bowl - the original candlestick is ready! You can glue pieces of fabric to create interesting coasters for mugs and glasses. You can make a lamp or floor lamp from the disks.

Round, with a convenient hole in the middle... Yes, this is a finished watch! All that remains is to insert the clock mechanism and decorate it to your liking. Clocks can be either real, functional, or decorative.

The circle is already a completed shape. Excellent crafts from waste material for kindergarten can be obtained if you supplement it with a muzzle, paws and tail, or fins, or a beak and wings using colored paper, fabric, felt. Bright exotic fish, birds, lion cubs, tiger cubs, cats, dogs can live in your home - whatever your imagination can do.

Finally, you can cut the disk into small pieces and decorate many things with a mosaic pattern. This is how they decorate vases, Christmas tree decorations, photo frames and even walls! What other crafts can be made from waste material? The photographs show that the scope for imagination is truly limitless!

Crafts from plastic bottles

It's no secret that crafts made from waste materials are often made from plastic bottles. Flowerbeds are bordered with them, flowers are cut out of them, palm trees are made from them. All this has already become boring. We'll try to give you a few interesting ideas that can surprise.

Plastic palm trees are boring. But have you ever seen a Christmas tree made from green bottles? With a little work and patience, you can end up with a real fluffy beauty. And not only tabletop: the size of the tree depends only on your free time and desire.

Take two bottles, cut them in half, and connect the two lower parts. Now let's take up the paints - and boring plastic will turn into funny animals. You can do the same with an unusually shaped bottle.

Do containers of shampoos and shower gels accumulate? You can make a real flotilla out of them for playing at home and on the street. Make a sail from a long skewer and stick it into half a wine cork. Now use rubber bands to attach this structure to the closed bottle. The unsinkable ship is ready!

Why not go bowling? There is always a ball, and skittles can be made from plastic bottles. To prevent them from being blown away by the wind, add a little sand to the bottom. With the help of paints, such skittles can be turned into funny people or funny animals.

Crafts from waste material for school in winter can also be made from plastic bottles. It will be very unusual to decorate your classroom using Christmas tree decorations with your own hands. Cut the bottle into rings one centimeter thick and form the rings into a ball. The base is ready, and you can decorate the light ball with Christmas tree rain, sequins, and rhinestones. The bottom of the bottle is almost finished snowflake, all that remains is to apply the design with white paint, and the brown bottle will make excellent pine cones.

Crafts from lids

So, we used the bottles, there were a bunch of colorful caps left. Don't rush to throw them away! Lids will be an excellent material for children's creativity. The little ones can draw faces on them, add ears and tails - you get a whole zoo. Glue several caps onto a sheet of cardboard - and they will become the heroes of an unusual design, for example, fish in an aquarium.

Lids are an excellent mosaic element. They can make an excellent panel with a geometric pattern or an animal figurine. Such a craft will become especially bright if you use paints.

And if you make holes in the lids using a hot awl, you can string them on rubber bands and create interesting little robotic people.

Crafts from newspapers and magazines

Do you have a pile of old, unwanted newspapers in your house? Show a little imagination and it will melt like snow under the spring sun! For example, they can make a great basket for storing... newspapers, for example.

The main way to work with newspapers is to twist them into thin tubes and weave them like a vine. By the way, things made using this method are outwardly indistinguishable from products made from wicker. After painting, of course.

What to do with a stack of glossy magazines? Read our master class. Crafts made from waste material, namely magazines, can become original decoration your home. Twist tubes from pages, make flat strips out of them, roll them into spirals of different sizes. Now inflate balloon and use it as a basis for a future round vase. After all the spirals are glued together around the ball, deflate it. Place the bottom of the vase on a flat surface.

Crafts from cardboard tubes and egg packaging

Toilet paper rolls and egg trays are the things that go straight into the trash. Meanwhile, they can also make crafts. Very interesting things come out of waste material (the photographs in the article demonstrate this).

Gently bend the edges of the tube inward. Reminds me of ears? Such a blank can make a wonderful owl or cat. Or maybe you see another animal in this silhouette?

Make a hat from an old sock or a small piece of fabric. Put it on a tube, draw a face - it turns out to be a little man. The bushing easily becomes racing car or by plane.

Do you still have a cardboard egg tray? You can make a lot of animals and insects from it. These are spiders, caterpillars, bats, chickens and cockerels. They will blossom under skillful hands and beautiful bouquets of bright voluminous flowers.

Crafts from bags, boxes

Have you gotten your hands on a juice box? Crafts made from waste material in this category will pleasantly surprise you. For example, you can make a cute wallet to store small items, and it will also close! Take a close look at the milk carton. Do you see an almost finished bird feeder? All that remains is to cut holes on the edges with a sharp knife. You can decorate such a feeder using self-adhesive paper, then it will last longer in outdoor conditions. The package will also make a house for a small doll, furniture for Barbie, a ship, a car.

But from a large box of household appliances you can build a real castle for dolls, a house, a car, an airplane, a ship for a child, a bed for a large doll, a toy TV or an aquarium.

Panels and key holders

Making crafts from waste material is not just an activity for children. You can make an excellent key holder or just a cute sign out of all kinds of garbage. Glue accumulated little things onto the board - old keys, puzzle pieces, gears, small plastic figures and other things with an interesting texture, attach hooks for keys. Now everything needs to be primed with black paint, and then spray applied with bronze. The key holder is ready!
