A child can come up with a huge amount of entertainment, but we'll talk about such leisure activities as crafts made independently from plastic bottles. There are many positive aspects here, one of which is the development of creative thinking in the baby, in addition, games can unite a child with an adult, since in this case they have common interests.

Everyone in the house accumulates a lot of unnecessary parts of food packaging, plastic bottles, plastic tubes, corks and much more. All this sooner or later goes to waste. Few people think that all these products can be reused, thereby giving them a second life. One of the options is to make children's toys from plastic bottles. Children instantly learn this simple activity and manage to surprise not only their parents, but also loved ones.

From such bottles to make a variety of products, excellent in shape, color and size. Variants of examples: a vase, sprinklers, as well as various figures in the form of animals, birds, cartoon characters. For experienced "creators" you can stop at making flowers cut from bottles, stars, butterflies, "hats" for lighting devices and a variety of other products.

Let's consider several options separately. First, we will describe the execution of a delightful vase from a plastic bottle. The child needs to be helped in this matter, and entrusted with the independent implementation of some of the simplest elements.

If a lot of bottles have accumulated in the house, then you should not immediately throw them away; in the summer, you can create an excellent raft from them. And for people living close to the reservoir, it will be a great opportunity to please both your child and others. The main rule is to never forget that all children's games related to water must be under the close supervision of adults.

In addition to all of the above, many other equally interesting products can be made from plastic straws and disposable glasses. Cut out muzzles, eyes, paws and tails from hard paper in different colors, and then glue them to the glasses. With the help of straws, you can make legs and arms. Thus, it turns out a lot of cute and funny little animals with which you can play or arrange performances.



Yogurt cups are also perfect for making finger-wrap cartoon characters. Draw muzzles, ears, eyes and everything else on paper, try to make the drawing look like the intended character. Cut out and glue onto an upside down glass. Add to the image "hair" made of threads, dress in an outfit made of fur or fabric. For a small child, playing with fingers contributes to the development of work with pens and imagination. You can also cut the straws with scissors and put them on a thread, you get beads or bracelets.

Do not forget about other inhabitants of the house - animals. For them, you can also make a useful product, for example, a house or bottle feeder in which the bird will live.
