And sometimes you need to calm the baby when he cries because of cutting teeth or other misfortune. Home games will help a lot with this. It is impossible to buy new designers and mosaics every day, it is better to build something in a hurry yourself.

An unusual way to use crayons. Prepare crayons, glue, a sheet of cardboard. With a knife, cut the chalk of different colors onto a tray. Glue the image onto the cardboard (PVA with a thin nose is suitable). Now ask your child to gently dip the sheet with the pattern down into the multi-colored shavings. It will turn out very nice. To save such a picture, sprinkle it with hairspray.

The first sculptures

Works made from air-hardening mass are durable and functional: they can be painted, used for games, and given to friends and relatives.

For classes, you will need either a ready-made self-hardening mass purchased at the store, or a couple of glasses of flour, water and a little salt to prepare it yourself.

The proportions are as follows: for 300 g of flour - 300 g of salt and 200 ml of water (from this amount of ingredients you will get quite a lot of dough, so it is better to take them half or three times less, clearly observing the proportion). Flour should be taken from wheat, the highest grade. Pancake is categorically not recommended, because when dried, products from it will rise and crack.

Salt should be chosen the finest grinding, preferably not iodized. Water should be cold, and even better - ice. To the main components, you can add 1 tbsp. l. potato starch (to increase plasticity) and / or 2 tsp. wallpaper glue (to increase strength). You can knead the dough in two different ways: either mix flour and salt, and then gradually add water; or dissolve salt in water, and then add flour.

It is easy to make and colored dough. To do this, separate a piece from the mass, fashion a cup out of it, add paint to its middle, blind the edges and carefully knead the dough. Keep in mind that this will get your hands very dirty, so it’s better to paint over the sink. The advantage of such a home-made mass for modeling is that a child can taste it, and this will not harm him at all.

Plasticine teaches to speak, and paints develop intelligence. Any kind of creativity forms a personality out of a child, and most importantly, it strengthens the nervous system and relieves stress. If your child rushes around the apartment with a Brownian movement and does not want to calm down, invite him to make something together. What exactly, read on. We offer you 6 interesting workshops for children from 4 to 12 years old.

"Winter is coming": we make eco-candles

Try an eco-friendly and fun workshop for kids to learn how to make candles. Aimed at ages 8-10. Traditional candle making is not suitable for a child. During the cooking process, you will have to come into contact with molten paraffin. And since children are usually eager to do everything themselves, such an experiment can end in injury.

We offer a lesson on making candles from beeswax. It does not need to be pre-melted, it is enough to heat it with a hair dryer. An indisputable plus is naturalness. Unlike paraffin, it is not a petroleum product. Even if the child decides to check what the wax tastes like, there will be no harm to health.

For work you will need:

• a sheet of beeswax;
• wick.

1. Lay the wax on a wooden table or plank and cut off one side to make a trapezoid shape.
2. Take the wick and slightly push it in from the wide end.
3. Heat the wax a little with a hair dryer.
4. Wrap the edge of the leaf tightly around the wick and twist it into a cone.
5. Trim the wick at the base.

When the candle is ready, cut strips 1-2 cm wide from sheets of a different color. Invite your child to decorate the candle with them, as well as decorate it with glitter and stickers.

What the master class teaches:

• ability to listen and follow instructions;
• develops fine motor skills;
• reveals visual-spatial abilities;
• activates creative thinking.

As a reward for his work, the child receives a candle of his own making, which serves as an additional motivator in further work with the material at hand.

treasure box

Children love to collect rings, figurines, even perfume bubbles. To lose something from this belongings is tantamount to a tragedy for them. Therefore, we offer you this simple, interesting master class for children. With their own hands, they will learn how to make decoupage boxes. The lesson is suitable for the youngest aged 3-6 years.

You will need:

• PVA glue or home-made paste;
• paper box;
• wide brush;
• napkins;
• paints.

How to do:

1. Prepare acrylic or gouache, give the child a brush, and let him paint the box as he wishes.
2. When the paint is dry, start sticking the napkins. Pre-cut them into geometric shapes. So it will be easier for the baby to take them, and you will have the opportunity to playfully learn geometry.
3. After the napkins dry, coat the top and sides of the box with glue and sprinkle with multi-colored sparkles.

The child learns about the shapes and position of objects in relation to space. The lesson contributes to the development of a sense of color and size. He will introduce you to various materials, their structure and density, and teach you how to interact with them.

"Salty" and interesting master class for children

Salt dough confidently displaces plasticine from pedagogical spaces. Even in kindergartens, it has become ideologically wrong to use it due to the presence of vinyl chloride, rubber and polyethylene. The dough, on the contrary, consists of natural ingredients.

It is easily washed off the hands, leaves no residue, is hypoallergenic. The fidget will definitely taste a piece, but it will not cause any poisoning, as well as gastronomic delights. The dough is tasteless and salty, so the second attempt to eat it is unlikely to be.

1. Before creating a masterpiece, knead a cool, dense dough. To do this, mix flour with salt in a ratio of 2: 1 and add a little water.
2. Roll out a 1.0-1.5 cm layer and make several circles with a cookie cutter or a cup.
3. Roll the dough into an oval 2-3 cm long - this will be the core for the rose.
4. Put each circle in turn like a petal on the core until the bud is the right size.
5. When the dough is dry, let the child color it and cover it with glitter.

The master class is interesting for children of 12 years old. Teach your child such crafts, and he will be happy to do it himself. Kids 3-5 years old will like to make balls, sausages, animal prints from soft and elastic dough. To make the child more fun, add food coloring and glitter to the flour.

Bouquet of buttons

In continuation of the flower theme, we offer an interesting master class for children from 10 years old. Prepare bright and unusual buttons, colored cardboard or felt, wire, scissors and pliers. The width of the wire should be narrower than the holes in the buttons.

How to do:

1. Draw a flower with your child on cardboard or give him a stencil to circle and cut out.
2. Pierce the resulting flower with wire and lower it to the middle, where the top of the flower is supposed to be.
3. Do the same for one button hole.
4. Bend the wire and poke the button through the second hole.
5. Pass the wire back through the flower and twist the ends to form the stem.
6. Make several of these flowers to make a bouquet. The wire can be wrapped with wrapping paper or strung with beads.

funny pebbles

The most interesting master classes for children are those in which there is an element of the game. The next lesson introduces the alphabet through creativity. To do this, collect 32 stones with your child, as the number of letters in the alphabet. Prepare oil or water based acrylic paints and a primer.

Let your child draw each letter on a separate stone and decorate it however they want. When the paint dries, invite the child to collect their name from them, the name of their favorite food. Put the word together and let him read it. If the child is not yet familiar with letters, draw simple animals or ladybugs on the stones.

Introduction to Monotype

A relatively new way of expressing creativity, without pencils and brushes. There are no standards and the concept of “failed” in monotype. Children are given the opportunity to express themselves. This type of drawing relieves nervous tension, so it is often used in art therapy.

What do you need:

• brush or sponge;
• base: glass, mirror or A4 cardboard;
• any paints, but acrylic or gouache is better;
• paper.

The child in any form with a brush applies paints of any color to the base. Place a piece of paper on top and smooth it out. Gently tears off and the drawing is ready.

Interesting workshops are a real joy for children. They take part with pleasure, understand the value of their own and other people's work. Through joint creativity, you will learn to better feel and understand your child, establish a close emotional connection. Such activities are an important component of mental, social and intellectual development.
