Handicraft encompasses many activities. Embroidery, knitting, wood cutting, painting, modeling, others interesting work... Some are interesting for both men and women. The phrase means - work, do it yourself. In a word - create.

The widest free assortment

However, you can make original items using any suitable, improvised materials and devices that are at home. They can often be found in nature, in the forest.

The results are homemade crafts. They become decorative elements of home design or, for example, a summer cottage landscape.

New meeting with childhood

Products made on their own have been called crafts for a long time. The word is familiar to many from childhood, as well as the occupation itself. Who does not remember how, as a child, he collected cones in the forest and made funny animals out of them. Or the same acorns are excellent natural material, contributing to the development of children's imagination.

For the same purposes, they used colored plasticine, paper, plastic and glass bottles, and so on.

Sometimes adult making beautiful crafts with their own hands, this is a kind of invisible thread connecting them with childhood.

And today's children, like mothers and fathers before, sculpt figures from plasticine, glue applications, assemble cardboard stands or photo frames.

Parents themselves are ready to sit with their children with pleasure, observing and helping them in difficult moments. If there are any snags, the Internet usually comes to the rescue.

In other cases, beautiful illustrated editions help, where photos of hand-made crafts are located and working stages are described.

Interest plus development

Benefit from independent work colossal. It is not surprising that children with early age instill a love for independent creativity. And crafts play an important role.

As a result, many of them become not just decorative elements, but carry a useful, practical purpose. They give the child the opportunity to develop, learning the secrets of the world around him.

Children show interest in everything. Therefore, any material at hand will certainly cause them a storm of imagination and an immediate desire to do something with it.

The branches of trees, fallen leaves become interesting for children, seashells and pebbles. From such materials, a lot of interesting things are obtained.

What can be turned the most common objects

Sea pebbles are stones polished by water. The surface of the pebble is covered with red paint, gently drawn in the middle of a thin black line, stick small dark dots made of fabric or paper, glue beads instead of eyes and the ladybug is ready.

She can be placed in a flower pot or glued to it so that it seems that she wants to climb a flower.

Plastic containers (bottles) are taken as blanks for original vases. The plastic is trimmed from above (the upper part is removed), leaving a wide throat. Sand or fine shavings are poured inside to a certain level. This makes the bottom heavier and makes the bottle stable.

The outer walls are painted with paints, one or several colors. Children love to paint. Undoubtedly, it will be a bright palette.

For such a vase, dry branches with a wadded imitation of a willow are very suitable.

Glass vases. DIY bottle crafts usually involve the use of plastic and glass.

But glass is dangerous for small children, so do-it-yourself children's crafts made from glass bottles are best trusted to be done by children when they are old enough.

The procedure for making a decorative glass vase is simple. The surface of the walls is coated with plasticine. Then small "details" are attached to the coating. Such elements can be white and dark beans, large beads, dried watermelon seeds.

You can advise the child to develop a specific drawing in advance to make it easier to create. Perhaps during the period of work, he will have his own ideas.

You don't have to throw everything in the trash. Some of them can be used as handy material. Real intelligent craftsmen do just that. Their skillful hands produce beautiful coasters for tablets and books, finishing boards, shelves and other things necessary in everyday life.

• three plastic tubes;
• scissors;
• ball.

1. Use scissors to make a hole in the lid. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, cut out a strip.
2. We cut the tubes into small pieces (see the picture) and connect them together.
3. Now the individual parts of the helicopter must be assembled and fastened with a stippler.

Pirate ship

• cardboard box;
• black fabric for the sails;
• superglue or hot glue gun;
• wooden skewers;
• ruler;
• sticks of various sizes;
• pencil;
• rope;
• stationery knife;
• black marker.

We start to tinker:

1. Cut the cardboard into pieces. On long pieces, you need to draw a template for the side of the ship. Remember that the nose should be slightly raised (look at the photos).
2. You need two identical sides of the fuselage, two square pieces are attached to the back, a rectangular strip of cardboard to the bottom - front and stern - to the bow. It is necessary to cut out the shapes exactly with the samples shown in the photo.
3. Using super glue or a hot glue gun, glue the sides of the boat. We are waiting for the body to dry.
4. Then we glue the bottom, not forgetting that the bow of the vessel should rise slightly upward. Hold the cardboard in this position until the glue dries.
5. Now we are preparing a cardboard bent in the shape of the letter L, a foam piece in the shape of a letter C (equal in size to the diameter of the stick) and a stick for the mast. The cardboard should be ship-sized (measured internally).
6. Then we put glue on the stick and attach it at right angles to the deck of the ship. For greater stability, we fix the mast with a piece of foam.
7. To make the effect as realistic as possible, attach a piece of a stick to the bow and connect it to the mast with a string.
8. Now we make two wooden skewers of the same size and fasten them perpendicular to the mast, using the same string. We will tie a sail to them. Cut out a rectangle with black fabric, which should be slightly longer than the distance between the skewers. You can decorate it as you like. Tie the sail to the mast.
9. It remains only to make a hole along the fabric and stretch a string through it, tie it to the skewers (each hole separately).
