In this article we will look at the most simple and entertaining crafts, the process of creating which, undoubtedly, will attract the attention of the child, and make him show imagination.
We start by creating a tree
The most popular paper craft for children is wood. It is with the creation of such a simple applique that a long way to unusual and more complex home-made products begins. To create it, you need a fairly simple set of materials.
We recommend that you start by creating a flowering tree from colorful paper... To do this, you should purchase a few sheets of colored paper, glue, a pencil and scissors. It is necessary to cut out the base of the tree from paper of a dark color - the trunk.
Depending on what kind of tree you are trying to portray, the thickness of the trunk should also be selected.

However, since in in this case the education of the baby is also important; care should be taken to ensure that the craft created by him resembles the original as much as possible.
After you finish cutting the trunk, you should tackle the leaves. They can be of different shades.
After you and your child finish cutting the necessary parts, all that remains is to assemble the structure and glue it on the sheet of paper that you have chosen as the background.
It is worth noting that wooden crafts for children are just as popular as those made of paper.
However, to create them you will need to be patient and start looking. suitable material... After all, you have to find a snag, which in shape will resemble either one of the animals, or some kind of object.
Complementing it with some decorative elements, you will create a unique and beautiful product that can be used even for interior decoration.

Flowers for decorating classrooms in kindergarten
Often, educators instruct parents, together with their child, to create some kind of interesting craft in order to contribute to the improvement of the office's interior. And in this regard, many problems arise, because mom and dad cannot always determine which craft is suitable in this case.
Therefore, if you also cannot decide on the choice, we recommend that you make the most popular and simple craft for kindergarten do it yourself - flowers from egg trays.
After all, in your house, for sure, there is such a tray in which you previously stored or continue to store eggs purchased in the store.

Each cell in your tray represents a bud. On them, you should carefully cut out the petals along the previously sketched contour. Once you're done cutting out, you can start coloring.
However, before you start painting the product, it is necessary to place a neatly cut colored paper core in each flower. A twisted thread of wire should be used as a stem. It should be threaded through the center of the core.
To make the stem look more aesthetically pleasing, you can use paper as a wrap. Pay attention to the photo of children's crafts, which shows a bouquet of flowers made from egg trays. This is what the finished product should look like.
How to decorate the playground?
In this case, talking about the use of appliqués as a decorative element is completely inappropriate. Indeed, on the site, these products will look inappropriate.
In addition, one should not forget that such products will not stand for a long time due to wind, rain and sun. Therefore, if you are thinking about how to decorate the place that children use to play outside, you should thoroughly prepare. After all, the set necessary tools in this case, wider.
We draw your attention to the fact that you can use both scrap materials and wood. Craft for a playground made of hemp and log looks very interesting and beautiful.
