The mental and physical health of the child is the main task of parents, educators and other professionals. From birth, the development of the baby goes on continuously and every second. To increase the efficiency of this process, it is necessary to make the world around us diverse, bright and informative. For this, certain conditions must be created. One option is to make educational books with your own hands.
Types of educational toys
The leading activity of a child from birth to three years is the game. This fact must be taken into account and actively used in the development and education of the baby. Any game is impossible to imagine without toys. But they should be useful for the child and correspond to his age characteristics.
It is not at all necessary to buy a toy or a developing book that is useful for development in a store for a lot of money. It can be easily made independently from improvised materials. There are many ways and step-by-step instructions on how to make a toy or how to sew an educational book with your own hands.
Such items can be divided into several categories:
- books;
- cubes;
- panels and rugs;
- pillows;
- stands;
- houses;
- animal figures, etc.
In this article, we will talk about how to make educational books with your own hands. We will also consider the purpose of such toys.
What are educational books?
As a rule, such cognitive toys are intended for children from one year old.
By purpose, they can be divided as follows:
Why do they make soft developing books with their own hands? They stimulate the development of fine motor skills of the hands. This has a positive effect on the mental development of the child, as well as on the formation of speech.
Materials for the manufacture of educational books
It is often thought that the manufacture of an educational toy or book requires expensive materials and special skills. Not at all!
In order to make educational books with your own hands, it is enough to have a desire. Here you can use various improvised materials, such as:
- paper and cardboard;
- fabric, including felt, fleece and even knitwear;
- artificial fur;
- leather or leatherette;
- threads of different thickness;
- tapes;
- Velcro;
- buttons;
- beads;
- cords;
- buttons;
- bells, bells;
- rustling cellophane wrappers;
- cereals (rice, peas, buckwheat);
- ready applications.
Developing books made of fabric are very interesting. With your own hands, you can combine its various types: cotton and felt, silk and knitwear, and the like.
Cardboard and paper book
This type of product is intended for children from a year. The book may contain information about any one animal, color or shape. It can be done using a photo album, files, cardboard and plastic rings. Consider how a do-it-yourself paper developing book is made. A master class on making this type of book is described below.
Necessary materials:
Manufacturing steps:
- For a book using a photo album or files, fill each page (file) with cardboard the same size as the file. To do this, cut out cards from thick paper to fit the page. If the book will consist only of cardboard, without files and an album, then you need to cut out pages from dense double-sided material of the same size.
- So, we are making a developing book with our own hands. Photos can be cut from magazines, coloring books or just draw yourself. You can also find pictures on the Internet, and then simply print them out or take a picture of the necessary items, and then insert the photos into an album.
- Options for placing images on the page:
- one large picture on one page;
- one large photo and several small ones;
- image + poem or short story.
4. Insert pictures into an album or file. If the book is without files and an album, you need to connect the cards together with plastic rings, after making holes with a hole punch.
To make a cardboard book last for a long time, you can laminate the pages before binding.
Do-it-yourself cardboard-fabric educational book: master class
This type of product is similar to the previous one. It is suitable for children from one year old.
Necessary materials:
Manufacturing steps:
- With the preparation of the foundation, a cardboard-fabric educational book begins. We make patterns with our own hands from separate sheets of thick cardboard of the same size.
- Next, we cut a blank from the fabric in the form of two horizontally located pockets. The size of one part is equal to the size of a cardboard blank. We sew along the edges and in the middle. We get two identical pockets.
- Then we insert a cardboard blank into each of them and sew it on a typewriter. The base is ready!
- We add developing elements consisting of threads, buttons, lacing and other types of sewing accessories.
- We put the blanks with pictures and developing elements together and sew them in the middle on a typewriter, thereby connecting them together and forming a book.
Felt books
Do-it-yourself educational books made of felt are very popular with children due to their bright colors and soft texture of the material. The manufacture of such toys is in many ways similar to the manufacture of products from cardboard and fabric. Their topics can be very diverse and depend on the tasks. Such a book is suitable for children from 6 months (without using cardboard) and from 1 year (with cardboard).
Necessary materials:
Manufacturing steps:
- Page formation. To do this, you need felt, which must be cut into rectangles of the same size. Next, we sew two rectangles together with an overcast seam on a typewriter or manually. If the basis is cardboard, then it must be inserted between the layers of fabric, and only then sewn.
- We decorate the finished pages of the book with the help of applique, threads, sewing accessories, lacing, based on the subject of the book and the developmental tasks set.
- Connecting pages. When they make educational books for children with their own hands, there are many ways to fix the pages:
- stitching by hand.
- fixing the pages with a kind of felt binding. To make it, you need a strip of fabric: the length is equal to the length of the page of the book, and the width is the total thickness of all pages plus the distance between them. For convenient opening and closing of the book, the distance between the pages should be 0.2-0.5 cm.
- If there is cardboard at the base, then it is better to make double pages (turns), and they should be stitched in the middle, according to the principle of fastening sheets in a regular notebook.
Do-it-yourself soft developing books are easy to make. They are very amusing to kids, arouse interest and thus stimulate their development. Let's look at several options for making pictures for educational books.
Sun
To make a figure of the sun you will need:
- yellow fabric;
- threads, cords;
- scissors;
- needle with thread.
From the fabric, cut out two circles of the same size. Between them at the edges we add threads and cords of different thicknesses, sizes and textures. These will be rays. We sew the resulting blank and fix it on the page of the book. You can weave pigtails from the rays or tie them into ponytails, and make eyes out of buttons.
This option is perfect for studying color, shape, the concepts of "day" and "night".
Octopus
In order to make an octopus, you need:
- stencil cardboard;
- textile;
- scissors;
- buttons for making eyes;
- cereals or small bells;
- thread with a needle.
We start creating an octopus by making a stencil. To do this, you need cardboard and a pencil. On the cardboard we draw the body and tentacles of the octopus, and then cut out the stencil along the contour. We apply it to the fabric, after bending it in half, circle it, and then cut it out. It turns out two identical blanks. We sew them together.
We add grits to the tentacles or sew bells on the bottom. We set the buttons in place of the eyes and attach the octopus to the page of the developing book.
This option contributes to the development of fine motor skills, which favorably affects the mental development of the child, as well as the development of speech. In addition, with the help of an octopus, you can form concepts such as color, marine life.
Butterfly
To make a butterfly you will need:
- stencil cut out of cardboard;
- felt;
- textile;
- scissors;
- thread with a needle.
We put the stencil on the felt and trace along the contour with chalk or a pencil. Cut out the resulting workpiece. From the fabric of the same color as the felt, cut out a square a little larger than a butterfly. We sew the fabric to the page of the book in the form of a pocket in which we hide the butterfly.
By the same principle, you can make several multi-colored pockets and butterflies, and then place them on the page of a developing book. You can also hide in one pocket not one, but two butterflies of the same color, but of different sizes.
This option is perfect for the formation of the child's concepts of color, size, insects.
Velcro applications
To make applications, you need to prepare:
- felt;
- scissors;
- Velcro;
- needle with thread.
First, we cut out the figures necessary for the book from felt: animals, wagons, a train, cars, etc. Using a needle and thread, we attach Velcro to the figures. On the page of the book where the figures will be attached, a thematic background should be selected, that is, a railway for a train or animal houses and the like.
This option can be used to develop thinking, get acquainted with the outside world, theatricalization of your favorite fairy tale.
Lace appliqué
Children are very fond of lacing something, so this addiction can be used to advantage. As an idea, you can apply an application consisting of shoes with laces. How is such a developing book made with your own hands? Its patterns are very simple, and the result will greatly amuse the baby.
To make such an application you will need:
We make shoes from fabric or felt using a stencil. We make holes for the laces, decorate them with accessories. We sew the shoes to the page of the developing book and tie the laces.
Thanks to such an application, a child can easily learn what shoes are like, develop fine motor skills of hands, learn to pull, pull, lace.
Whatever version of the product would not be chosen, it will always be of interest to the baby. And do-it-yourself educational books made by yourself will bring the child not only double benefit, but also joy, since they will also contain a piece of maternal warmth. And this is one of the most important components of the development of a small person.
A good educational tool for children will be a voluminous book. Its use allows the child to develop not only logic, but also fine motor skills: after all, he can feel every component of the pages. You can prepare such a manual yourself.
Materials and tools
To create a soft book, you will need the following materials and tools:
- Multicolored felt.
- Yarn, hook.
- Multi-colored threads and a needle.
- Beads of various shapes and sizes.
- Velcro tape (hook + loop).
- Buttons on the leg.
- Scissors.
To attach the parts, you will need a thread with a needle and a glue gun. Many elements and the pages themselves can be sewn on a sewing machine (faster and more reliable).
Armed with everything you need.
We make a felt developing book with our own hands
On a sheet of felt we embroider the name of the child for whom the allowance is intended, decorate with additional elements from pieces of felt.
On the right side in the middle we sew a button, on which a loop will be thrown - a fastener.
Building a Fence Page
- Background: dark (night), moon, stars.
- Fence: two crossbeams (about 1 cm wide) and "shtaketiny". On the strips-beams at the same distance, we sew adhesive tape (loops), glue the second part of the Velcro (hooks) on the inside of the "rails". We sew the crossbars to the felt sheet. We fasten the shtaketins with Velcro, number them with a felt-tip pen.
- Jug: From felt we cut out 2 details of the jug. We sew the sides and bottom so that it can be “put on” the fence.
How to work? Build a fence with the child, placing the pickets by numbers or in reverse order, put the jug on a certain rail (number 4, for example).
Page "In the Snowdrift"
- Background: blue (day), sun.
- Snowdrift: sew to the sides and bottom of the page.
- Tree: fastened from below to the "snowdrift", the upper part is sewn to the background sheet. We glue snowballs to the branches.
- Hare and mouse: cut out two identical parts from felt of the desired color, embroider eyes, nose. From yarn we knit a rope from air loops. We sew with a looped seam along the edge, during the process we fix one end of the rope in the back area or between the ears. We attach the second end to the snowdrift on the reverse side.
How to work? Ears protrude from the snowdrift. The child guesses who is hiding in it. If the sun has removable rays (on buttons), then it will be possible to add or subtract them.
Abacus page
To make an abacus, we wind 10 beads on the threads. You can take the same or different in shape, size, color. We fasten them to felt strips, which we sew onto the background sheet on both sides.
How to work? First you need to make out how the beads differ. Count their number. Separate a certain amount.
After that, examples of addition and subtraction within 10 are worked out. When the child learns to quickly perform actions, you can use the abacus to count with a transition through a dozen.
Lacing Page
We sew loops to the strips of felt, fasten them on the background sheet. From the yarn we collect a chain of air loops (you can take an ordinary lace), fix it at the ends with paper clips, wrap it with thin tape. Then we thread into the loops.
How to work? The child learns to lace up the "boot" in different ways, to make a knot, to tie a lace with a bow.
Page "Pigtails"
We make cuts on a strip about 1 cm wide. We thread and collect chains of air loops - 3 in each. We fix the strip at the top of the sheet.
How to work? The child learns to weave pigtails, fix them with an elastic band (you can take a small one from the weaving kit).
Geometric Shapes Page
We cut out different shapes from felt (you can make them double to make them stronger). On the background sheet, we circle them with a pencil along the contour, highlight with embroidery. We use sticky tape to fix it.
How to work? The kid correlates the figures, finds the same ones (on the page and among the figures), fixes them. Among them, polygons and curvilinear figures can be distinguished, divided into groups according to color shades.
Page "Polyanka"
On the page we sew buttons on the legs. We cut out flowers from felt, make cuts, decorate with small ladybugs.
How to work? Flowers are worn on a button. You can compose a task according to the picture: there were 7 flowers in the clearing, 3 were plucked, how many are left? Or: ladybugs sit on 3 flowers, how many flowers without insects?
Clock Page
All details are cut out of felt, glued or sewn to the base. With the help of a looped seam, we imitate the strokes on the dial. We fix the arrows so that they can be moved: for this purpose, you can use a button on a leg or a wire.
How to work? With the help of this page, the concepts of time are worked out, children are trained to determine the time by the clock, set the right time.
Surprise Page
Last page. We sew a pocket to it, covering the valve.
In the pocket you can hide any figurine made of felt (in this case, a cat). To fix the book, we sew on a button, wind a loop around it - a fastener that will be worn in front.
How to connect the parts?
To connect the pages, we use any fabric (in this case, viscose napkins for cleaning).
We cut rectangles with a length equal to the height of the book and a width of 3-4 cm. And one rectangle - 10-12 cm wide (outer spine). We sew them between the pages according to the scheme shown below.
The next stage is the stitching of the pages along the open edges, fixing the inner and outer parts of the spine.
The book is ready! Now you're ready to start learning with this colorful hand-made manual!
