How to make a pet with your own hands. We create animal crafts with our own hands for the home and garden

Animals and birds can be a great source of inspiration for a variety of crafts. Animals are generally very rewarding material; after the craft is ready, they will probably not be just another “dust collector”, but will actively participate in all the games and fun of the kids. In addition, a variety of animals can be an excellent gift for a loved one, friends, acquaintances.

You can use your inspiration to create your own personal zoo using almost any technique. You can find inspiration in modular origami, sculpting, quilling, beading, and embroidery. All you have to do is choose your favorite animal to make. These could be symbols of the year according to the eastern calendar, your child’s favorite animals, or just cute and funny little animals. Of course, if your child is interested in snakes, insects, or animals, then you will have to make them too, forgetting about kittens and piglets.

You can combine several techniques, for example, salt dough, and make such a wonderful couple of sheep to coincide with Valentine's Day or your anniversary. To do this, you will need to make a base from salt dough. Take flour and salt in equal parts, knead the dough with water, mold it into cylinders with ears, noses and four legs, dry in the oven over very low heat. Now it’s the turn to paint the sheep’s faces with paints, draw their eyes and rosy cheeks. You can make “wool” using faux fur or strips of white fleece, which are twisted using the quilling technique and glued to the surface.

It is also recommended to use diagrams with animals. Crocodiles, snakes, and dogs are very popular. Once you have mastered the simple bead crafts, animals may become voluminous and large in size. They are woven using flexible wire, which, folded into horizontal circles with stringed beads, gives the craft the necessary volume. Try to make three-dimensional weaving, for example, such a cute owl. It will surely become one of your baby's favorite toys.

Well, it wouldn’t hurt to say about everyone’s favorites origami. Animals can be in the form of appliqués, folded using the origami technique, made from corrugated paper using trimming. But with the help of colored clothespins you can create a real masterpiece. To do this, you need to draw and cut out an animal from thick paper, but do not cut out legs for it. Clothespins will serve as our legs, which will give the flat figure the necessary stability.

Parents of children attending preschool are aware that every holiday is necessarily accompanied by children's crafts for kindergarten. Maybe to some this task will seem like a waste of time. But for most, this is still an entertaining and creative process, as well as an opportunity to spend time with the child with interest.

It is important to keep natural materials in stock in accordance with the season, and then any task for the production of work will not be taken by surprise.

Reserves of natural material

When traveling to the sea, you can collect small stones and shells. When walking in nature, stock up on beautiful leaves, pine cones and twigs. You can plant decorative pumpkins in your summer cottage - this is a good raw material for products that can be stored for a long time.

You can store the leaves in a book. It is better to keep the cones in the oven and pour boiling water over them, thereby destroying all the bugs. It’s also better not to throw away toilet paper or paper towel cartons, and save plastic bottles with caps. Make room for these items by placing everything neatly in a box.

Crafts for kindergarten are something that a child must prepare with his own hands. The degree of difficulty is determined based on the age category.

With skillful direction, the child will be able to create an applique, a drawing, or mold a plasticine product on his own. Using natural materials in the form of leaves and cones.

The do-it-yourself craft ideas for kindergarten below will tell you how best to use non-standard tools, for example, pasta or plastic dishes.

Plastic bottles can already be classified as standard materials; the possibilities for working with them are endless. Use matches, napkins, and sushi chopsticks, they are all great tools.

Products in the autumn version can be executed as compositions or as independent works. Perky hedgehogs, old forest men or alien creatures in a flying saucer - all this can be done with children's hands using raw materials given by nature.

Winter style products

In winter, we have associations of New Year holidays, and we also don’t forget about Defenders of the Fatherland Day.

On February 23, military-themed products will be relevant. You can make greeting cards. Excellent products are made from fabric, but parents must take part in the creation, as cutting is necessary.

The body is made of fabric, and the corners at the bottom should be stitched, this is necessary for stability. Next, fill the bag with padding polyester and tighten the thread.

All that remains is to create the face. The nose can be made from a beige bead. You can use ready-made eyes or create an applique. Embroider the eyelashes and make antennae from threads tied into a bun. Add tone with blush or lipstick.

We make the hands from fleece or cloth and glue them on. As an option, attach one handle to the cap. The ideas are endless, you can complement the work with shoulder straps.

Works in autumn style

Products in the autumn style are distinguished by the fact that materials given by nature are used for production. Leaves, cones and acorns of these raw materials are in abundance in the fall, which is perfect for crafts for a kindergarten plot.

As a rule, work competitions are held in the autumn. The child can create the applique on his own with a little help from his parents.

For products made from vegetables and fruits, a knife is used, so work must be carried out strictly under supervision. Paints are often used in kindergartens. But you can also replace them with material, for example, autumn leaves will serve as stamps for creating a forest.

Note!

You can tell the kids how much their help is needed for the birds and make a feeder together.

This not only promotes creativity, but also fosters a sense of caring for animals.

In winter, the death rate of birds is very high, because due to frost it is difficult for them to survive, so care will be taken when creating the feeder.

For the feeder you need: wood, a box and plastic bottles. Wooden feeders are distinguished by their durability. But not everyone can handle this material. Cardboard is easy to use, but it will not stand up in wet weather.

In this case, the cardboard feeder can be periodically updated, and the baby will like its decoration. Plastic is the most unpretentious material. Easy to work with and will withstand rain. The work uses a breadboard knife, so the process is carried out under the guidance of adults.

Note!

Street layouts

You can create situations that convey the meaning of reality; such a game will help you master traffic on the road and study signs. Street markings can be painted on cardboard and houses can be built from boxes. Decorate the cityscape with greenery and, most importantly, make road signs and traffic lights.

Road signs can be printed from the Internet. A stand for the sign can be made from a plastic bottle cap and a sushi stick, and fastened with plasticine.

Houses can be easily created from cardboard boxes or glued together from cardboard and painted on the facade. Trees are created from cardboard or natural materials.

If you finely chop green threads and sprinkle them on cardboard, previously coated with glue, you will get grass. It is easy to create soil using grain glued to the surface.

Note!

One side has a background color, and the other has three traffic light colors. Glue a thread between the halves and the circle is easily glued so that you can rotate it to the hole on one side or the other.

Craft from bottles

Wall panels, plot compositions and toys can be made using various techniques. It's very easy to make crafts from plastic bottles for kindergarten.

You can make a baby penguin. To do this, you will need two plastic bottles, with the bottom cut to the required size. And the part is placed one inside the other. For convenience, several cuts can be made in the inner part.

Using acrylic paints we paint the toy. We make a pompom from threads to decorate the hat.

The scarf is made from braid or fleece; it will successfully hide the junction of the bottles. To keep the scarf stable, you can place it on glue or double-sided tape. For the wings and paws, colored paper is used.

If you want to involve your child in some kind of creativity, then start creating animal crafts with your own hands. This develops perseverance, accuracy and attention. Fine and observation skills are also involved. Such activities bring parents and children closer together, as adults are directly involved in the creation of an extraordinary product.

Craft material

Products can be made with your own hands for any holiday of the four seasons of the year. These can be decorations for a dacha, garden area, home, or vegetable garden. Crafts can be involved in landscape design, as well as in the design of a kindergarten.Of course, if in making a craft it is necessary to use working tools, such as saws, drills, pruners, then such work is not for a child. It is better to involve him in making crafts from small parts.

You can create your personal zoo using any technology. This can be origami, quilling, modeling, embroidery, beading. The animal you decide to make can be a symbol of the coming year or the years in which family members were born. When you make animal crafts with your own hands, you can combine several techniques. For example, a pet's muzzle and hooves can be made of baked clay, and the fur can be made of fleece of the required color.

Crafts from bottles

Mostly such products are placed in the garden or vegetable garden. Since the bottle is not afraid of weather changes, it is durable and does not require maintenance. There can be both wild animals and domestic animals in the garden. Our example will be the original pig.

For this craft, containers of any size and diameter are suitable, at your discretion. Naturally, it needs to be painted with waterproof paint in a pink color that imitates the skin of a pig. On the side of the screw cap, draw large, surprised eyes with eyelashes. At the top of the head, cut the bottle on both sides to insert ears, which you cut from a spare container. Paint the ears with the same paint as the body. On the lid, draw a patch in the form of two black dots. The pig can be used as a flower bed. To do this, cut a rectangular hole on the back, add soil and sow flower seeds. A whole family will look more original, rather than just one craft. A pet created with your own hands will delight the eye not only during the flowering of plants, but also during the rest period.

Felt sheep

When you make animal crafts with your own hands, you can safely use felt of different colors. Let's create, for example, sheep. Pink felt will serve as fur, lilac will serve as a muzzle, white will be used for the eyes, and black felt will be used to make hooves. You can find templates, or you can make the pattern yourself. The body of the sheep looks like a cloud that needs to be cut out of the appropriate piece of material. Cut a slightly elongated head with ears, three times smaller than the body, from lilac felt. On a white background, draw an infinity sign, depicting future eyes.

We place this sign on the head of the animal and sew on the eyes - beads, piercing both materials. Embroider the mouth and nose with black thread. Glue the head to the body. Next, cut out rectangles from lilac felt and squares from black felt. Glue the legs with the hooves, and then glue the parts to the body. Here is an original DIY craft made!

Gifts of nature

Using natural materials, you can create unique masterpieces. All gifts of nature are not only environmentally friendly and safe, but also free. Working with them is an educational and exciting process.

Animal crafts made from natural materials, created with their own hands, take part in various school and even city exhibitions and competitions.To create a masterpiece, various leaves, acorns, chestnuts and cones, branches, pumpkins and zucchini, shells, stones and much more are used.

Any child can be captivated by such a creative activity as creating interesting crafts from various scrap materials.

There are a lot of ideas on how to make crafts for kindergarten with your own hands. This rather painstaking and fascinating process develops the baby’s concentration, mental thinking and the acquisition of new experiences.

When attending kindergarten, then school, the child develops with the support of educators and teachers, and at home, parents need to find time to study together with their child.

The photo of crafts for kindergarten shows the work of children, with the help of which they can express themselves.

Spring theme in children's crafts

Spring is most likely the most positive time of the year, when nature blooms and glows from the warm rays of the sun, birds return, trees and the first flowers bloom.

A child, unlike an adult, reacts especially impressionably to such changes, so in the spring you want to do something new and original.

To implement ideas for children's creativity, you can use a lot of available materials: glue, paints, colored paper, empty plastic bottles, unnecessary boxes, various cereals, threads, ribbons, pine cones, foliage, etc.

The work can be in completely different directions, depending on the material for its manufacture:

Origami in the form of a spring bird

This execution technique only requires the presence of colored paper and a few basic skills.

They turn a sheet of ordinary paper into everything: flowers, birds, animal figures.

The “Bird” craft is quite simple and a younger child can handle it. For spring birds it will be useful:

• branches from a bush on the street;
• scissors;
• colored paper;
• glue - pencil or PVA.

It is necessary to carefully tie a strip cut from colored paper (about 20 cm long and 2 - 4 cm wide) into a weak knot, so that one side is slightly longer than the neighboring one.

You need to cut out the head and beak from one end, and the tail from the other. The finished bird needs to be attached to a tree branch using glue.

Papier-Mache style

This work technique came from Europe and involves applying small pieces of paper mixed with glue to a certain shape. As an example: an egg for Easter.

You will need the following materials:

• ball;
• colored corrugated paper;
• used pieces of paper;
• Wheat flour.

For this craft for kindergarten, the first step is to inflate the balloon, then carefully paste pieces of paper moistened with flour paste on all sides of the balloon. The composition must dry completely within 10 hours.

Note!

Inside the egg you can place plasticine birds or other figures of your choice. For the Easter holidays, you should put colored chicken eggs in such an egg.

Quilling technique

These are crafts made from rolled paper. For a picture of a spring lily of the valley you need to prepare:

• green, blue and white paper;
• thick cardboard;
• glue;
• scissors, tape.

A couple of rectangles are cut out of cardboard onto which the craft will be attached. The contours of the future lily of the valley are drawn on them, then strips of colored paper are twisted using a regular toothpick.

The strips are glued along the contour on the cardboard with the corresponding colors (leaves, stem and flowers themselves). A ribbon is used to knit a bow onto a flower and it also makes a loop on which the finished painting will hang.

Decorating the playground in kindergarten

Crafts for the playground in the kindergarten will be an interesting unique decor, which your child will be happy to put his efforts into.

Live pebbles. You need to prepare materials:

• stones;
• acrylic paint;
• coating varnish;
• tassels;
  pencil and eraser.

Note!

The simplest option is the ladybug shape. Smooth stones of different sizes must first be thoroughly washed and dried thoroughly. Then draw the outline of a ladybug on it with a simple pencil and paint them with gouache (black, white and red).

To prevent the paint from peeling off, apply a layer of colorless varnish to the painted insect. After successfully completing simple work, you can proceed to more complex animal figures.

Plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are the most popular decoration for garden crafts. Try making a palm tree out of used bottles with your child.

A brown plastic container needs to be cut from the neck side (removing the neck itself) in straight strips to the middle, then fastened together with a rigid wire - this will be the trunk of a palm tree.

We choose the height individually. We cut and fasten the green bottles in the same way, but there are three or four in total, since in the future they will serve as tree foliage, which is also attached to the trunk of the bottles with wire.

It is preferable to create natural crafts for kindergarten in the autumn season, since nature itself provides a huge selection of materials for children's creativity.

Note!

You just have to try to assemble it and use your rich imagination, using everything that lies under your feet: branches, dry leaves, pine cones, acorns.

Dry maple leaves, fastened with elegant braid and decorated with beads and bows, can be used to make an interesting head wreath. Or - a cheerful, perky caterpillar from a row of acorns with legs made of matches.

The child will definitely love the idea of ​​​​creating his own original crafts, work on which also benefits from developing motor skills, intelligence and increasing mental abilities!
