Many parents are preoccupied with finding the perfect toy for their child. Store-bought games do not always meet aesthetic and security parameters. There is an exit! Make games with your own hands.
It is necessary
- - thick cardboard (from a box from household appliances, for example)
- - colored paper
- - a few new pencils (no need to sharpen)
- - stationery glue (or glue stick)
- - wood glue
- - two thin wooden bars 25 cm long
- - multi-colored laces
- - rivets for laces (eyelets)
- - awl
- - pliers
- - large pasta (no spiral)
- - acrylic paints
- - semolina
- - white plastic cups
Instructions
Step 1
Boot lacing. Take cardboard and draw on it a shoe (boot) about the size of an A4 sheet. Cover with colored paper. Use an awl to make large holes for the laces. Close the holes with the eyelets using the pliers. Pick up laces in a bright color and have your child play the game, "Lace up the shoe." Store your laces in a shoebox (after decorating with wrapping paper) or buy a nice gift box.
Step 2
Accounts. Paint a few pieces of pasta with different colors and let dry. Using wood glue, fix the colored pencils on one block, keeping the distance between the pencils 2-3 cm. Place pasta on the pencils so that they move freely from one side to the other. Glue the second block to the free ends of the pencils. You can buy small stickers in the form of circles with numbers and stick to pasta.
Step 3
Rough letters. Cut a rectangle out of thick cardboard and glue it over with white paper. Draw a block letter A (three-dimensional and hollow inside) with a simple pencil. Cover the empty space inside the letter with glue and sprinkle with semolina, spreading your fingers along the outline. Wait until the semolina dries to the paper and does not crumble, and then paint the letter with bright paint. You can make the whole alphabet at once or present the letters to the child gradually, as a surprise. Show your kid how to properly guide your finger over the letter.
Step 4
Game "Packer". Glue 3-4 plastic cups with bottoms to a cardboard rectangle. Glue a square (or strip) of a certain color on each cup. Invite your child to pack the pasta (having previously painted them in different colors) in cups in accordance with the color. Come up with a fantasy plot for the game. In addition to color, you can glue numbers on the cups and invite your baby to put as many pasta in each cup as the number shows.
