Surprise kids with new fun. Show them how to make volumetric appliqués out of plastic lids. From this improvised material, you will create a panel or a massage mat together with the kids.
Applications
A fascinating lesson is to create simple pictures from plastic lids. Such a thing is within the power of preschool children. Take several plastic bottle caps, create funny animals, fish out of them.
First, wipe off the lettering on the covers with solvent or acetone. Then wash them several times with soap and dry. You will also need:
- scissors (for a child with blunt ends);
- colored cardboard, paper;
- PVA glue;
- google eyes.
Now you can call the child and start creating with him. Cut a piece of cardboard into 4 pieces. Take any of them. Turn the lid upside down, grease them with glue, attach to the cardboard. Let the child drip quite a bit of glue on the back of one and the second plastic eyes, glue them symmetrically to the top of the lid.
Now, together with the baby, on a sheet of cardboard or paper of a different color, draw 2 small triangles - these are the cat's ears. It is his face that you make. Glue the ears onto the top of the head. Cut 3 small, narrow stripes out of the same paper. Stick them in the center of the muzzle crosswise. Such a funny mustache was obtained from a cat made of a plastic cover.
Turn a sheet of cardboard into a whole aquarium. To do this, take 3-4 plugs, glue them. From paper the same color as the lids, cut out a triangle - these are the tails of the fish. Glue it in place, remember to attach one eye, as the fish swim in profile. Cut out several ribbons from green paper, make them wavy. Attach these paper algae vertically, glue 4-5 sequins and the picture is ready.
Turn two yellow caps into a chicken, one will be its body, the other will be its body. Glue a small triangular spout, and make 2 small thin legs out of black cardboard.
Country panel and massage mat
You can make spectacular panels with your child from plastic covers. You will need a lot of caps for this. Decorate with them a nondescript barn wall. First draw on it with a marker, for example, a goose. Mark where the head, beak, body, legs of the bird, which sits sideways to the viewer, will be.
Make the head white and the border blue. In the center, place the black eye from the dark cork. Make the body blue, lay out the wing from white material. Let the beak and legs be red. There is no limit to fantasy in such creativity. Place several flowers next to the goose, made in the same way.
The lid rug is also great. Take 19 plugs, make 6 holes in each with an awl, piercing the screw part evenly. Arrange the 12 pieces in a ring, threading the line through each hole to pull them together. Tie the line in a knot at this point. Next, put 6 more lids in the inner circle, and one in the middle. Thread the line through the holes to securely connect the covers. Flip the rug to the right side and enjoy the new thing with your baby.
