Interesting crafts for February 23.

On the holiday, February 23, men traditionally receive gifts from their loved ones. With special trepidation, dads and grandfathers perceive the touching gifts that their kids make in the classroom in kindergarten. The task of the educator is to come up with and implement original idea, which will inspire children to be creative.

Sailboat

Teachers often choose military equipment and transport as the theme of "male" crafts: kids are happy to draw and make cannons, airplanes, tanks, cars, ships, etc. washing dishes.

The craft can be done with children of both younger and older groups, only in the first case the teacher offers ready-made parts, and in the second, preschoolers do everything themselves.

For work you will need the following materials:

sponges for washing dishes of bright colors;
thin wooden sticks for example, bamboo skewers;
small plastic skewers (for canapes) in bright colors;
scissors;
colored paper;
square or rectangular stencils of three sizes for cutting sails (the size of the largest corresponds approximately to the plane of the sponge), stencil of a small flag;
PVA glue;
glue brushes.

It will be interesting for the children to work with unusual material in the manufacture of a sailboat.

The craft is carried out as follows:

At the sponge, corners are cut off on one side - you get the bow of the ship. Along the length of the resulting base, you need to make holes with a skewer.
At one end, the sponge sharpens and becomes like the nose of a boat
The next step is making sails. Children draw them using three sizes of stencils, and then cut them out. The sails should be put on a skewer, fixing the flag on top with glue.
The sails are arranged in decreasing order - from bottom to top
Then the sails are connected to the sponge base.
A skewer with sails is inserted into the hole farthest from the bow of the boat
The final stage is decorating the sailboat. A small plastic skewer is inserted into the hole in the bow of the boat.
The nose of a sailboat needs to be decorated to make the craft look elegant

Instead of paper for the sails, you can use cloth napkins for cleaning - it looks very nice. In addition, the sponge (base for a sailboat) can be shaped (wide and with slots).

The sails can be cut from tissue napkins for cleaning, and for the base, take a profile sponge with slots

As a basis for the craft, you can take a disposable plate and perform a volumetric application on it Waste material, such as plastic cups, is perfect for making a boat. Pieces of fabric can also be used to create voluminous appliqués. As a basis for a mini-sailboat, you can use shells from walnut If you don't have a sponge or other base at hand, the deck of a sailboat can be made from plain paper or cardboard. You can decorate the finished crafts with multi-colored flags on the threads For younger preschoolers, the option of making such an applique from paper and plasticine is suitable.

Original mug for dad

All men love to drink tea and coffee. Therefore, a homemade mug may well become a small holiday present. The main thing is to decorate it with patriotic attributes. Such simple craft can be performed with the pupils of the younger or middle group(the teacher himself makes all the preparations).

Materials for work:

thick cardboard yellow, orange, blue(you can also take a light green shade - the main thing is that the colors of the Russian flag stand out on the basis);
strips of white, blue and red (their length should correspond to the width of the resulting circle - about 10 cm, and 2 cm wide);
tea tag with a string;
glue stick.

Algorithm for making a gift mug:

The teacher cuts out a blank, and one part of the product should be slightly smaller than the other.
The teacher prepares the preparation of the mug in advance.
The base is folded in half according to the accordion method. This will create a slight volumetric effect. A fold is formed at the edge of the upper part (all these manipulations are also done in advance by the teacher).
Folding the mug using the accordion method will create a slight volumetric effect.
The child sticks to back side the upper part of the base with a thread with a tag (fixed with a small piece of paper).
The child spreads glue on a piece of paper and fixes the string of a tea bag with it
The kids glue strips to the bottom of the mug - the flag of Russia is obtained (the teacher tells in what sequence to arrange the colors).
Preschoolers glue the strips in the desired sequence, which the teacher will tell them
The final step is to fix the edge of the top of the circle to the bottom. Children smear it with glue and press it.
Ready-made mug crafts look bright and festive

A mug can be made not in the form of a postcard, but voluminous, then it can be placed on a table or shelf.

Postcard "Order for the Pope"

Postcards with volumetric elements always look interesting. This effect can be achieved using, for example, the technique of plasticineography. The following craft is suitable for older preschoolers.

To create a postcard you will need:

plasticine;
stack;
cardboard (rectangular blanks of A5 format).

The creative process includes a number of stages:

A thin layer of plasticine must be applied to the cardboard base. This surface should be very even.
The plasticine layer should be as even as possible.
Thin flagella must be rolled out of yellow plasticine - this will be a train of fireworks. A ball is rolled from a red piece, then it is squeezed into a cake. With a stack, cut the cake in five places, grab each segment obtained with your fingers and pull it out to a corner - you get a star with rays.
An asterisk is obtained from a plasticine cake after pulling it off from five sides
The star is attached to the center of the postcard. It is framed by a thin red plasticine flagellum. Above, short yellow flagella are a train of fireworks, and above them are small red stars. Additionally, the composition is decorated with small yellow balls.
Small decorative elements give the order a dramatic effect
The stack draws stripes along each ray of the star.
The stripes on the star make it more expressive
A thin flagellum is formed from green plasticine - the base of a laurel twig. Yellow petals and balls are attached to it. To the right of the twig, in the corner of the postcard, from the yellow flagella, you need to collect the number "23".
Below the order is complemented by a laurel twig and the number "23"

The volume of the composition is given by clouds of cotton wool and flowers from crumpled napkins. The boat is made according to the simplest scheme, but together with paper waves and seagulls everything looks very impressive The flag is glued on only two sides in the form of a wave - it seems to flutter beautifully in the wind The flag of Russia can be glued together from different strips of paper, which will add volume to the postcard.

A real man's attribute is a shirt with a tie. It can also be played as baby gift... You can use the origami technique (option for older preschoolers).

For work you will need:

A4 blue cardboard;
colored paper (2 contrasting colors, for example, blue and yellow - respectively, A5 format and a 7 by 7 cm square);
PVA glue.

Progress:

A sheet of blue paper should be folded in half along the long side, then unfolded and each edge folded towards the middle. After that, sleeves are formed: for this, the edges are bent at the top of the workpiece.
The sleeves of the future shirt are obtained from the corners.
Bend the edge 5 mm on the opposite side.
The opposite edge must be turned off and ironed with your finger
On the other side, each folded edge is bent, forming corners with the tip towards the middle. It turns out a shirt collar.
A neat shirt collar is obtained from the corners.
Now it remains to bend the workpiece in half - the shirt is ready. The elements should be fixed in several places with glue.
The square is first folded in half (a triangle is obtained), then unbent, and the corners are wrapped, forming a rhombus
The upper corner is bent by 1 cm, and then its small corner rises.
An acute angle is wrapped by 1 cm, and then another small corner is folded back
On the other hand, the top of the tie bends slightly and is fixed with glue. The side pieces are also folded towards the center and glued.

It turns out a patriotic gift with a beautiful blue ribbon The tie is made using origami technique, and the shirt collar just folds back Crafts of shirts can be decorated with buttons, this will give the products a finished look Shoulder straps with stars will give your shirt a military look
When I worked as a teacher, my children and I preparatory group also performed the craft by February 23rd "Tie". It was very similar to the composition with rhinestones in the photo gallery, only the preschoolers cut out the tie themselves from colored paper (pre-folded in half - a symmetrical detail was obtained). And it is very important here to use cardboard, which on each side has different colour- then the "shirt" looks impressive. The children were delighted with the result obtained, especially the girls - they had to see with what love for their dad they did the work, how they looked forward to, with what joy he would accept their gift.

Creative postcard for the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

In this article, we present crafts on the theme of Defender of the Fatherland Day. Of course, it is customary to give postcards on this day. But we suggest that high school students make an unusual postcard.

Progress:

To create a postcard, you need a regular sheet of an album, on which you need to write the number 23.
Now it's worth taking the green paper from which you want to cut the strips. The postcard will be using the quilling technique. Therefore, each strip is wound onto a handle or quilling tool in order to form rolls. To make them look tight, the tip of the strip must be coated with glue.
In order for the rolls to get the shape of a leaf, they must be flattened. Such rolls of leaves are mainly used for pasting difficult places.
After that, green blanks are used for pasting numbers.
Decorate the card with a star using the quilling technique. Also, do not forget to sign this product.
